Animal Crossing Deals & Offers

Haha my bad “Used” games as “New”! Honestly just do a basic google search, there have been a fair few complaints about this. There is a thread on here about issues with them too. uk.trustpilot.com/review/graingergames.co.uk hotukdeals.com/discussions/grainger-games-reviews-2702186

Well that's counter-intuitive! (lol)

Anybody bought it from them yet? If you ordered new, did it come sealed? Research has taught me to be careful of Grainger Games selling ‘New’ games as used.

Would this have much longevity if played purely single player? I don’t have 3DS friends haha

Why would they, the game still sells at full price 5 years after it launched

I'm a huge Animal Crossing fan, but I can't help but notice that KK Slider doesn't quite look right.

Nah, don't do that. I'm voting hot. They'd be good for party bags if your child has geeky mates

Good point! I didn't even notice that. I may have to vote cold on my own deal now.

Yeah, I didn't know about them either, I like them. Overkill on this though, there are only 8 characters so you get 3 of each one. Good if you know 2 other people who would like them though.

For those that want to get the apparent £20.99 deal.... (cheeky)

I recall the price drop as well - went for PS4 edition and then saw Switch drop its price - Rage mode...

Big retailer in shock black Friday pricing scandal! (lol) (lol)

Toys R Us were given the rights to sell it for a short while before Xmas.

Mmmm weird, i remember contemplating which console 🤔 £20.99 lookin back through HotUk No idea where I put the receipt

Yay! I might be able to complete my collection! Heat added! :3 (party)

Price matching Argos http://www.argos.co.uk/product/6348584 http://www.argos.co.uk/product/4178299 Series 1 album with 1 pack of cards £4.99 http://www.argos.co.uk/product/4534376

Random. Cex buy some for decent money but it is a lottery.

They are totally random

Good price for the amiibo. Glad I missed this at a tenner a while ago.

The Amiibo cards are not cheap at all when you consider there is quite a lot of them. We have approx. 30-40 individual cards and there is no doubt many more don't have. And then you have to factor in you are going to get duplicate cards when you buy them. I don't think the cards even gloss over the Festival Wii U game or add anything myself. The cards are best used IMO with Happy Home Designer on 3DS. Now that is a good game for kids. The kids become designers in the Animal Crossing world and they take on projects, and the cards give them new projects to design.

@Evilmonkey Well, the main game itself has zero challenge, you just go around the board with a few animations and the one who collects most happy points wins. It's really just a game of chance mixed with a cartoon. The more interesting game is the island mini-game where you have to escape an island working cooperatively. It is still very simplistic, but it does require a bit of discussion about strategies etc. However I think it requires the amiibo cards, not just the figures that come with the box. The cards are not very expensive (less than a fiver for 3 cards I think) and I have ended up buying a few packs. They are somewhat collectable and each character has slightly different abilities so it's fun to mix and match (and part of the pre-game discussion with my daughters). That game might interest a 10 year old, but you'll probably only play it for a year.

Great price for the amiibo, but the game is absolutely horrendous, it's a joke

I am going to offer a differing opinion on what age group might likes it. My kid and his friend were ages 6-7, they played the game once and just found it annoying and stupid. My kid tried it again one further time, almost like just to make sure it is a crap game, and it was again a case of not wanting to play it. There is so little to it and it is dreadfully basic and poor even for a young kid. Leaf and Happy Home are both fantastic Animal Crossing games for kids. You would therefore think, this game even if not to those standards must be decent, but no it does not even get anywhere near close to being "decent". It must have been quickly produced, it is like they barely got started and finished the game off very early. Somewhere, there is someone digging a hole beside the ET hole for the remaining stock.

I'm loving this game so far! Trying to make all the Christmas items. :) My ID is 5317 8391 051.

I added you (y)

Link to your mynintendo account for leaf tickets... don’t be giving Tom Nook your money!!!!! heres my ID 47366142406

Yes it works fine now.

Just downloaded it too, but I'm getting that error as well. :( I wonder if we're just allowed to download it today but not play it, or if there's an unexpected problem. Edit: it's working now. :)

Im sure I've seen these being sold for as low as £3 but they still took ages to sell.

A couple of Game stores near me had this "preowned" (but brand new) for £4.99, so I bought one. My God, the game is terrible.

It's a nice game but my boy is very competive and we cannot play it for this reason, he cannot stand it if I win. The island mini game is fun and it has been added to the Animal Crossing New Leaf on 3DS in the update.

Nice review! I play with this daily..... to get 5 free items in Zelda Master Mode :)

i was going to buy this for my kids a while back, then i saw this review:

anyone else found decent suppliers for these or is otterbox the only special one here?

By newcomer I mean someone who's hardly used the site and only posted one deal. Using it more often now with keyword alerts and stuff and I was surprised to get the same thing over and over. Always good to understand the etiquette of the system. :)

ah right voucher codes thanks, i see one is a 3ds power supply as well

It was a tshirt when I ordered last, but here is what I could find right now:- https://www.vouchercloud.com/nintendo-vouchers?utm_campaign=237731297&gclid=Cj0KCQjw0ejNBRCYARIsACEBhDNLNtsJXWXUxHTV1OuTK0S9bxXKAXslj14ymZriDzNtYWTP_37FHVYaAv7vEALw_wcB

they only have a single model "New Nintendo 3DS + Nintendo presents: New Style Boutique 2 - Fashion Forward Pack" pfft 2 year warranty is good to know though - whats the gift voucher thing?

Same here too, all showing as full RRP, the ones in the capcom sale are showing up fine though.

Picked up the virtual console games for the 3ds, then spent my coins on Zen Pinball 3ds. Wished they had put more VC games on sale, I would advise people to get them now if they want them as prices don't usually come down on them

Same situation here. Got a new 2ds XL today, set it up, linked accounts etc. Got Street fighter no problem but the summer sale prices are not showing up - just full rrp. Have emailed customer support but maybe it because the 2ds XL launched today and they have a big influx of new users?? 🤔

Same situation here mate. I've also read that it takes up to 3 hours for the prices to adjust after linking your Nintendo ID with my nintendo website. Well, its been 3 hours for me and no change so far. I was able to download a pinball game directly to my 3ds by using their website so I know everything is linked for sure.

Majora's mask is coming up as £39.99?

If you see any amiibo other than latest fire emblem and shovel knight get them scanned. Chances are they are 99p. Over past few weeks I have managed to get luigi, daisy, ROB, chibi and Cyrus

None in Eastleigh. They have another one reduced but not much

​ Yes there are 2 amiibo with different outfits.

my mate got to of these yesterday in game in teeside park. they were marked 9.99. but when they went though the till. they came out as 99p

​because video games

Game are OOS - That's a third party seller....

Now £7.99

Probably because it's slight re-post, or maybe people are sick of 99p nintendo game deals

Heated, amazing price for this, genuinely puzzled as to why this is starting to go cold...

We like this game, especially on a cold dark afternoon.

Yeah... Traded it in to CEX today. £4 exchange. Reckon that will come in handy for something of substantially better quality.

I find this game totally relaxing and the amiibos are very cute. No regrets in buying it.

My condolences..

Paid bargain bucket price for this last year. Regret it as due to its big box, it's somewhat hard to sell online, and CEX offer peanuts for it.

£7 in store at Smyths.

I'd snap it up at this price, alas I fear this is a wild goose chase.

another amazing bargain. how do you do it. hmm

I got it for £10 from Asda a while back. Lucky find for anyone who manages to find it!

it was in asda coventry walsgrave :)

Which Asda was it in? Thanks for posting

Engrossing and fun game for young kids. Does need a good amount of cards to enhance and extend the game time though.

indeed. I think that was the basic conversation between John George and Paul when they let Ringo have a crack at songwriting and he came up with yellow submarine! i imagine my 7 and 10 yr old daughters will make use of it tho .

sounds like it's worth the £8 as a standalone then but not worth getting anything else for it, but if you have other games in the series and cards or amiibo for that then you can use them on this, just in now way buy them for this as a standalone game

This game is not bad. Just there isn't much point to it then buying amiibo cards. but I don't think that many other party games can do more.

I purchased from TGC and played it once so far. Fact that there is no real main menu and the whole game evolves around the same board game with slight tweaks to change each month. I will admit I beat the CPU :) Just think about the amiibo, they can also net you some free rupees etc on other titles.

Poor Mario Party clone designed to sell Amiibos.
