  • I saw it at GameStop earlier but passed. I know it's inferior to the other versions and I just don't have the love for it that I have for Doom. And that massive download. I feel like I should have grabbed it. Don't really know if the price is going to drop on it much. Ah...



    Let me know how it plays, though, once you give it a go.
  • Will do! Im looking forward to it! Did a free Prime trial and it knocked the price down to like $47 for wolfenstein!
  • Not sure about the US but Switch games really don't drop in price up here. Sure there are sales but most games stay at or close to release price. Kind of crazy
  • Attack on Titan 2 is on sale at NewEgg for $30 with code EMCPWPW86
  • Oh, cool. Maybe I'll get that. Thanks for the heads up.

    If you still have the BB GCU, you can grab 1 or 2 games that drop down to $20 ($16 GCU) each week or so.  I've purchased at least 20 of my Switch games that way.  Of course, these are all 3rd party titles.  1st party titles haven't really gone below $45 in my area.  I just picked up Arms, Fire Emblem Warriors, and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 all used last week from Gamestop's B2G1 free used sale because that's the cheapest way I've found to get them.



    Otherwise, there haven't been too many "sales" or clearances yet from normal stores like Walmart or Target.  I always go in and check and never see any decent sales or price drops that are equal to Best Buy and/or Amazon.

    No GCU in Canada.  Even EB (our GameStop) doesn’t have B2G1 used sales either.  I would be all over that.

    Yeah.  Around my parts, it's actually hard to find decent used games for Switch.  It was the first time I found 3 first party titles in used at one Gamestop at once to take advantage of the sale.  They have that sale every few months, but I've never had that many first party titles available.  Usually it's third party games that you know will drop in price or have already dropped in price and GS hasn't updated their used pricing model yet to reflect that.

     
  • So I buought a new $30 during it's first week of release and got 30 coins for registering it, but then I see it on the eShop for the same price but you get 150 coins for it. What's the deal with that?!

    They changed all the amounts of coins a little while ago when they turned them into actual game discounts.  Maybe that’s what happened?

    I just figured $30 is $30 regardless of physical or digital, so they should theoretically get the same amount of coins. That's $1.20 rewards difference.
  • I just finished Dk tropical freeze. Challenging boss fights, even the first world boss is hard to kill. It's a good game, but I just couldn't get into. In terms of platformers, I much preferred Rayman on vita over Dk.



    I just purchased xenoblades chronicles 2, will be loading that up tomorrow.
  • Speaking of nothing going on sale....



    Canadians: Walmart has South Park on sale for $39.96 instead of $79.96. Just saw it online
  • You get more coins for digital purchases, less for physical
  • Alright, ended up getting that Attack on Titan deal and a copy of Nights of Azure 2 on eBay. 2 games for the price of Wolfenstein. Don't feel too bad anymore.

    Nice! Glad i could help
  • Man, I am so happy I waited for Ys VIII to come out on the Switch. Thoroughly enjoying it. The LE turned out really nice too.
  • An amusing typo on Thimbleweed park
    Make sure your vreading skills are up to par with this game

    Same. Picked up AoT 2 also. Looks fun
  • Pretty late to the party but I started Mario and Rabbids last weekend and this game is really fun. I'm at the end of the second world now. I doubt I'll get the DLC unless they do a gold retail package here in the US, but this game is a lot more fun than I was expecting.



    Hoping to have it finished by Friday when Octopath Traveler releases.

    Game is amazing. Gets way better as you go on and the final bosses are sweet. You will love it. Game is definitely a gem.

    Congrats on Ys! I'm 29 hours in and about 85% on everything. By the way, I believe Shining Resonance was delayed to Friday.
  • Was it really!?   Wackness!
  • I started playing Ys VIII last week and I'm really enjoying it. Really looking forward to Octopath this Friday!
