Ended up grabbing Persona 5 Royal so far. Have heard many great things about the game. Played maybe 30 min on Xbox and thought it looked good and loved the music. Figured I'd have a better chance of getting more playtime with it on Switch though. Hope I enjoy it as much as everyone else has.

I’ve put over 100 hours into it on PS5 and I’m still not close to done. Solid choice!

Was waiting for Dusk to go on sale again. Seems they only do it once a year.

It is on sale for $13.99.

Oh I thought you were saying that you were still waiting for it to go on sale.

“was waiting”

I appreciate the helpful intent though ^^

It's an amazing experience, enjoy! If you love it, give Persona 4 a try. It's missing some QOL improvements from 5, of course, but it has (IMHO) an even better story and very fun gameplay.

That's really stupid you can't extend subs with the target sale.

I just extended my Family + XP using one of these codes.

 

[Volitar Prime]

I just extended my family sub (not the + XP version) too with a Target code.  Not sure why some are having problems.  It did take forever to log into my Nintendo account to do it.  I also hate how Nintendo makes you add a payment method and auto redeem when using a code for service.

Thanks for the list. I had actually been looking at the Witch Spring game recently.

Has anyone seen a comparison for Switch and Steam versions? Based on reviews I could find, Switch performance seems a bit rough.

Best Buy has some Capcom digital titles for prices lower than the Nintendo Shop lows with RE5, RE6, Dragon's Dogma and Mega Man 11.

It'd be nice if Nintendo gave you a way to view all of you purchases and game voucher redemptions on a specific screen under your profile account via the Switch's eshop. Also, something to designate what's a digital title on your system.

For purchase history:

https://www.nintendo.com/us/orders/

That will give you what you paid for every purchase on the eshop including any hardware purchases on nintendo.com . If you just want a list then open the eshop and go to your icon in the upper right and within there is a purchase history as well, though it's not by date and doesn't tell you what you paid.

For physical/digital determination:

As far as your system is concerned, if you want to see if a game is physical or digital just put your cursor over it and (just going off memory) the title above the image will show the outline of a cartridge if you need to insert a cart for it. Or just go look at your shelf of games. It should be fairly easy to figure this out.

Funny, I was playing that on my Xbox One years ago.

 

[TTAZ]

Off topic, but does anyone know of a good place to print replacement cover art? In the correct size lol

 

[antlp89]

Would anyone have interest in forming a group for the family + expansion plan?
With the current sale price of $72 l Believe it would come to $27 per spot for 3 years (8 spots at $9/year for 3 years).

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Nickelodeon-Kart-Racers-Collection-Nintendo-Switch/3643753661

Walmart exclusive, includes all 3 games on 1 card. Buying the 3 games as physical copies at all time low prices would be $50. This is $20 for Black Friday.

There's no option to check purchases via the Switch console though. I literally have no purchase list under my profile icon. Just a list of titles to redownload which only contains free to play titles I tried like 'Fall Guys' and 'Tetris 99'.

Also my purchase history on the website doesn't list all of DLC/titles I obtained through voucher codes. When I specifically search for them they show up as purchased thankfully.

 

[keyblader1985]

Just to be clear, people have actually used the Target sale for Switch Online to extend their membership, despite the warning that it wouldn't work?

 

[ChefMason]

Looks like Walmart is putting up a bunch of digital games cheaper than the Eshop sale.

They have Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope digital for $14. You would earn $3 in gold points once redeemed. Worth it?

I did an online purchase for a 12mo card and it worked a few days ago (on Monday). I didn't even known it said it was for new memberships only.

Dumb question -- why not just buy eShop credit? It's the same discount, and no fear of something going wrong.

Unfortunately the switch version of 3 is a really bad port job (maybe it’s been patched?) and the first game is kind of a bare bones proof-of-concept compared to its two sequels But these are really solid kart racers with a lot of love and respect for the IPs put into them. Nostalgia p0rn for 90s kids.

If you enjoyed the first one this is more of the same. Really enjoyed it. Didn't play any of the DLC though.

I didn't realize eshop credit was on sale when I asked.

I wish we could still use Gamestop credit to buy eshop credit online; that'd be perfect right now.

Well I bought the first one, but never played it

It looks like an awesome game with glowing reviews, and a no-brainer at that price! But maybe it's not for me. Strategy games give me anxiety. I tend to stick to more simple games :lol:

I'd suggest playing the first one for a little bit and see if it's up your alley

There is a demo you can download if you want to give it a whirl

 

[Schmoop]

Been wanting Links Awakening for a while and was hoping last years $30 price would come again (since Walmart screwed me with a late cancel) but I guess it isn’t to be.

 

[Twilightsparkle]

VGP opened up preorders for an ESRB Switch release of the Apollo Justice trilogy.  It’s not exclusive to them so it should appear at other retailers.

Yup. Worth noting the prices too. Dragon's Dogma is less than $4, RE5 and RE6 are less than $5 each, with Megaman 11 being less than $9. Might not like RE6 much, but I did enjoy Mercenaries Mode in that, especially since you can play as the L4D2 characters on the Steam version.

 

[lomaxgnome]

Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom Collector's Edition like new from Amazon Warehouse, qualifies for the current 20% off making it $63.33.

[psunami]

Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remaster is $34.99 already.  

Glad that I held out for a bit.  

 

[ArugulaZ]

It's Namco; the price will only continue to drop. I paid $30 for Mr. Driller Drill Land when it launched, a decision I rue in light of its recent drop to four dollars.

The physical is also on sale at Play Asia.

I sold my GameCube copies to subsidize the cost. I try not to have duplicates in my library.

Does anybody else remember when consoles went on sale for Black Friday?

Like the PS5 for $350?

Nintendo has been about including a game and hasn't really had sales since like, the GBA or something.

I use Newegg every generation with a coupon and bundled with smash since they started doing it for the wiiu. Ended up being 235$ for the switch with smash back then. Smash is a system seller for me. Though I didn't like switch as much as I did gamecube. But world of light definitely sunk 60-80 hours into that by itself so it was worth it.

 

[keyblader1985]

Back in like 2016 I paid $100 on Black Friday for the New 3DS standard size, which is like the rarest 3DS model in NA now.

I remember that deal. Still mad that I missed out on it, I never wanted the XL.

 

[psunami]

I'm hoping that my kids forget about theirs someday so I can add it to my 2DS and 3DS collection of consoles. Such a wonderful series of systems.

 

[briandadude]

There were also 2DS bundles for $60 there at the end.

Switch era has been poor value all around. The downside of a wildly popular console.

 

[blackwaltz34]

I regret not buying a secondary N3DS or 2ds when they were getting phased out. I know it was the right decision at the time considering my job was worse and I using my gaming budget on Switch stuff…but it’s hard to say no to a deal, especially one in hindsight.

 

[elessar123]

I regret selling all my new 3DSes I guess. I was tired of storing them. But at least each one was like $400+. Should have kept at least the Pokemon Red/Blue or one of the Zeldas.

 

[ArugulaZ]

Look, Switches are gonna be stupidly cheap in a couple years, after Nintendo's next thing arrives. I remember how Wii prices crashed through the floor in the 2010s... given the number of units sold, it's only a matter of time before Switches can be found at yard sales for a couple sawbucks.

It'll be that much better when it's hacked. For all the griping people do about the Switch's limited hardware, it's going to be one hell of a handheld emulation station once an exploit is found. It could be the next PSP, except much more powerful.

The launch switches can be hacked, after the v2 revision Nintendo fixed the exploit, but I bet over time the newer ones will be hacked too. The vita took a long time but was eventually hacked.
