Nintendo Switch: Thread 10

[importaku]

I started that trailer thinking wtf but as soon as the gameplay kicks in... it looks amazing All in

Yeah it's pretty chaotic takes it's cues from various games and mixes it all into something special. I can't wait to see how the copy paste mechanic comes into full play i was concerned that you could easily break the puzzles by just using certain copied elements repetedly, however the copy and the paste effects only last 10 seconds so you can't just cheese your way through.

Anyone noticed that Amazon UK have seemingly removed all the big Switch games from their stock?

I've had a few games on my Wish Lists for months now and was going o pick a few up but for several weeks now, they've all been removed for sale from Amazon UK, but available from other sellers. Not sure if it's just a stock refresh or something has occurred?

Younger daughter has asked for a Turqoise Switch Lite for Christmas so that she can play Animal Crossing with her sister. That bundle might be the answer.

It’s because loads are out of print now so when amazon runs out of stock it’s only the marketplace ones left. Sometimes amazon gets more stock back in on certain titles but for the most part once it’s gone from amazons inventory I have noticed it rarely comes back in stock.

Hence me grabbing stuff on or close to release to avoid this as marketplace sellers tend to hike the prices up. However the USA amazon has a different problem it seems there’s a beef with Nintendo so you find even new stuff like Zelda will not go up for preorder from amazon usa, people been complaining that loads of upcoming titles can’t be preordered from them only through 3rd party sellers. Europe and japan unaffected by this just seems to be USA.

That’s some good info, thanks for the heads up!

I’ve mostly been a digital Switch owner, only buying physical when the game hasn’t been released on UK shores. But I was considering getting a few of my favourite Switch games like Mario 3D World, Zelda BOTW purely for my little retro / game shelf. Had them on my Amazon Wish List for yonks but haven’t picked them up.

Maybe won’t ever be able to now or will have to look on Nintendo’s official UK site. Wonder if Nintendo have stopped printing them completely?

Amazon have got that in stock atm (from them, not a third party seller).

Argos and Currys have both that and Zelda BOTW in stock.

F-Zero: GP Legend/Falcon Densetsu and F-Zero: Climax (previously a Japan-only exclusive) will be dropped onto the Switch Online + Expansion Pack GBA service next week.

Will it make the OG GBA cartridges any cheaper on the resell market? Unlikely. But it's good to have them, I guess.
