I'm not sure if they are mistakes ... each item has a "deal" tag on the Gamestop site, entitled "Black Friday Deal Select Nintendo Digital $26.99". The info link for the promotion explicitly reads says "digital" and "26.99".
I played most of it recently. Pretty good. If you like kirby superstar, then star allies will push a lot of those same buttons even if it's not quite as great overall. I was frustrated with over-simplified single player controls, but it's probably better with multiplayer.
I haven't played it in a while, so I don't know if it's still active, but I'm an adult that generally sucks at shooters and have had a very good time with Splatoon 2.
Thanks for the feedback. Going to give it a shot. Ordered
Splatoon 2 (new/physical) for $27 and 
Mass Effect Legendary for $25.
Ive played this one a bunch as an adult and have done so with my kid. Its basically a first person shooter but it has very clever mechanics in it. The single player campaign is fun, and online has a few different modes of play. My favorite is the Salmon Run, in which you and three others try to take out as many CPU controlled bosses as possible to collect eggs. Ive occasionally felt way too competitive playing the normal online battle mode when teammates aren't trying or some perfect sniper on the other side is making things unfun, but there's a ton to do in this game.
Star Allies is excellent for playing with kids. When we play NSMBU, my kiddo’s just bubbles all the time. With Kirby, they’re actually playing the game (even if I’m leading the way). And there are a number of combination powers, so the kids can feel useful there, too.
My younger relatives didn't grow up playing platformers, so they end up falling a lot in NSMBU and get frustrated.
Kirby games are great for all ages. This would be great to play co-op with the younglings.
I briefly owned Kirby but I experienced weird "slow downs" in the game that I found really annoying and distracting so I traded it in. Do you have slow downs too when there are "too many" characters on screen?
I don’t recall any slowdown, certainly nothing distracting. But maybe I’m just desensitized to that from spending my childhood on the NES.
Astral Chain is really the only good Switch-exclusive. I can't imagine being an adult playing anything mario/kirby.
The style/atmosphere of Astral Chain is appealing to some people. The combat is decent, but nowhere near Platinum’s best, due to the difficulty of controlling the chained creatures in combination with the camera and the lower frame rate.
I watched some gameplay footage and didn't like the atmosphere. I play games to relax. Astral Chain's atmosphere seemed unpleasant and tense, dark.
Ah, okay. Combat looks appealing, but the edgy teen weeb anime art style and terrible English dub are turning me off on it. Thanks for the input.
Rated T for Teen
That’s sad then. You’re missing out on a lot of great games.
Kirby is well worth it to play with your kids. So much fun. Clever and still challenging enough. No brainer at $27.
Then why even have a switch? Kirby isn't for everyone but Mario games are for every age.
I would take it back with your receipt handy. If you cut the wires it will make a loud and annoying alarm. Or, have a hammer handy, clip it, and the beat the crap out of it until it stops beeping. Choice is yours. But please record it and share if you choose option two.
do you mind sharing which 1tb sd card model? I am looking to upgrade too and there are so many options, not sure which one to get
I got this one
It’s news to me that you can even try to purchase, the site completely refuses to load on my end, even via VPN.
Comments on VPN usually are that it doesn't work well with their website.
I thought Undertale was pretty good. If I’d played it before Nier Automata (and Danganronpa) I probably would have liked it even better. But you have to enjoy a particular kind of humor (and probably be a big softie inside) to really get into it. If you don’t like it 10 or 20 minutes in, you’re not going to change your mind later.
So this is what it looks like when an anime Weeb pulls rank.
Aren’t Nintendo bundles already preloaded on the system?If anyone got the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe system bundle and doesn't want the code for the game, I'll buy it off you
It is difficult. You have to mash the A button and get lucky with powerups while being attacked and shot at by enemies. There's even boss levels that are crazy hard. But once it clicks you get some pretty satisfying victories.
