"It's not even two weeks away..." ...🤔 This does not sound right to me at all. In the context of referring to an event yet to come, this sounds like you're actually saying it's further away! 😅😵💫
@NinjaNicky that £22.99 is standard NSO not Expansion Pack. You can only buy Expansion Pack directly through Nintendo. Though it is possible to get it a bit cheaper by buying the cheaper standard NSO keys and then upgrading to Expansion Pack
I'm not aware of Tesco ever doing such deals and I'm a very regular viewer of deals websites 🤔
@NinjaNicky It isn't $70/year, it's $50. So I don't know why @Funneefox said that. Unless they meant Family Membership, but that's $80/year and it's for 8 accounts so = $10/year ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
Shame NL never reported availability from Nintendo Store UK at just £12.99 with free delivery ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
I ordered on the 13th which was when it became available for anyone to order, after initially only being available for people who had previously "registered their interest" when that was a option.
I don't know whether it is still available now as it has a lifetime limit of 1 per customer so appears unavailable to anyone who has already ordered.
@hylianticipated Also - that £29.99 crossed-out price is BS. The RRP is £21.99. #Scamazon
Did you see how much they were charging for the TotK Amiibo ? ~£30 🤑 Do you think they will make it available again at a lower/reasonable price before release so the people who already ordered will pay that lower price ("Pre-Order Price Guarantee") ? Of course not 🤡 #Scamazon
You don't need to link a Nintendo account to get the unlocked level each day 🧐
*Update: actually there seems to be a level unlocked for the day without having a Nintendo account linked, and also another level that unlocks if you do.
@LinktotheFuture Ah I see Sorry if my previous comment came across as argumentative! 😅
To be fair I was surprised when I found out Dread was officially called Metroid 5, I was like "What about the Prime games!?".
Then I guess I realised they just wanted to keep the (2D) Metroid games as their own thing, kinda separated but sharing all the same everything with the Prime games
Remember there have also been Prime spinoff/sub games. Prime Hunters on DS and Prime Federation Force on 3DS
So just think of it as Metroid = the 2D games and Metroid Prime = the 3D games
@LinktotheFuture I didn't say Prime games are spinoffs, nor did I say they are not mainline games, I just said they are clearly their own series, being numbered as they are, separately from the numbered 2D Metroid games.
I definitely consider Prime games mainline, it's just that they are numbered separately from 2D Metroid games.
@LinktotheFuture "Are Prime 2 & 3 not mainline games?" Metroid Prime games are obviously their own series, hence the first game then Prime 2 then Prime 3 and eventually Prime 4.
Metroid, Metroid 2, Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion, Metroid Dread are not Prime games.
@TLink9 @LocalPenguin £70/€80 would actually be the equivalent of US$85. But saying that, it is important to remember that in the UK and other European countries, sales tax in already factored into sales prices. So with that in mind the UK price of £59.99 - tax (20%) = £49.99, which exchanges to around US$60. So seeing as sales tax isn't already included in US prices, it seems the new US$69.99 price for TotK is OTT 🧐 But then again BotW and SSBU have always had a higher price compared to all other full-priced first party Nintendo Switch games, which has never been the case in US. I guess Nintendo just decided that US should now have a higher premium price like other countries
I think they could've added Game Boy to the standard tier. Seems mean not to keep adding more systems. Fair enough that they want to add a higher tier with extra systems for more money, but I think they could still add the likes of Game Boy to the standard tier also
That Amazon saving price is BS
"Nintendo Switch Lite - Blue + Switch Online 12 Months" with "£227.98" crossed out and "£216.99" price offered, inferring a £10.99 saving.
It should state £217.98 is the standard price and the saving is 99p

It's £39.99 from Currys using the stated 20% off code on the page https://www.currys.co.uk/products/nintendo-advance-wars-12-reboot-camp-10235944.html
When it initially went live (28th March) the game was actually priced £39.99 and the code made it £31.99. So lucky people got that price
