Mario Kart 8 Deals & Offers

Nintendo are so crafty with this particular sale...get the kids to get a couple of new online games right before switching off the free online. It's really going to be interesting to see how well Nintendo sell this 'service'...I guess we would have learned about it today...imagine the direct will be next week now. Be a tough sell even if it is cheaper when you consider the majority of switch owners have it as a secondary console.

Can you buy these if you don’t currently have a Switch. Looking at buying soon and would be great To have these in the locker ready

Even that risk could work both ways

I think the risk is if they bring out region specific updates.

Any reason not to buy from cheaper regions/stores, such as South Africa, and save a few quid? There’re a couple of sites that compare region/store prices and show savings and lowest price.

I haven't play any other game except PC for last 5 years. And I really want to buy a new sole machine for some games. This post remind me and raise my interest for buy any sole machine for gaming. And I keep look at nintendo switch in last one week after this deal was expired, but I can't find any good deal. Please Help.!!!!!!!!

Most likely yes as eBay run these promotions time to time. They have one on now but unfortunately that is for selected sellers only. However if you are interested in buying one, I think it would be best to hold out for a couple a weeks until another promotion comes along

Do you think this deal will be on again?

Not sure about the Rakuten points as it says: 3% Super Points are earned on software purchases.3% Super Points are earned on hardware purchases

Exactly, not as flexible as you can’t take the money as cash, and the range of partners isn’t great, however they are regularly doing 20-30%offers.

Yeah, best way. The Wii U is on life support.

just picked up a cheap switch and Mario kart for 230 just to be on the safe side. Only want it for online play

Nothing announced yet. Maybe 1-2 years left?

Yes online still works and is free. Eventually the servers will get switched off like they did on the Wii but no date announced yet.

Is the wii u still online? And free?

Cheers

Should be 3.0.1 these will be old bundle stock if you are worried about it being hardware patched. They are few and far between.

Anyone know what firmware this will be on?

No worries haha

Cheers mate, unfortunately this switch purchase has pushed my phone purchase back!

Yes, as is the Buy Now Pay later :) https://www.very.co.uk/first-order-discount.page

Is this for credit accounts only?

10% off for new customers :)

barely resembles!! how many CC (or should I say Horsepower) is it??

It's his motorcycle from the Breath of the Wild expansion pass. It resembles a horse :D

is Link riding a horse around the track?

Now all they've gotta do is add a Diddy skin in the DK slot. Please please 🙏 Nintendo.

It's another skin, in the same way you can get different coloured Yoshi :D

Not digital? wtf

Voting cold because: - used - not digital Freezing cold nips added (highfive)

Splatoon a good price at £12.99 https://www.game.co.uk/en/m/splatoon-301287

Mario Shart is better.

Once again, we have been around for 10 years so to change the account details after selling them would be to scam / steal from our customers. If we did that, it would obviously not help our reputation. In fact, we guarantee all of our products, so if you ever have any problem whatsoever, we will issue a full refund or a replacement. We were one of the first CD Key re-sellers in existence, we started way before the likes of g2a or cdkeys.com and we are still around today, due to our top-rate customer service, and the fact we guarantee all of our products, without charging any additional 'shield fees' etc.

Indeed. I certainly wasn't advocating it, quite the opposite.

Have you bought an account before? I have and I lost access to the games I bought on each of the accounts... it was a cheaper way to get the newest games but in the end you have nothing. Even if you change details the primary email and security answers aren't yours but the sellers.

Just to add to my previous comment, I hate voting cold on here, as it might be a deal for someone. But I did on this because these type of things are so shady

I'm not being funny, but CD Keys is another key reseller and only sells keys, there's no logical reason for these keys to pre-activate.

100% agree the switch is beast, take mine everywhere.

It's basic supply and demand, this game is still number 4 in the UK sales chart over a year after release, and 3rd in the individual formats chart. As Nintendo games sell [relatively] strongly for a long time they stay at full price. Other games tend to sell mostly in the first few weeks and then sales dry up so pricing gets more and more aggressive. Look at FIFA, that has strong sales for nearly a year and maintains a relatively high price, then price plummets.

We also have had this since day one on the Wii U, didn't stop us getting so it can be played on the move now, with the Switch. It also has a few battle modes that were not included, and all the DLC is there too. I'm going to say that while you are correct the Wii U is a different platform, it will cost anyone who already owns a Switch £100+ to get the cheaper Wii U version, and again this is still technically a platform exclusive, since this version of the game cannot be bought for another system. Either way, we love both the Switch and the Wii U, and the level of value you get out of the first party titles is almost unmatched, using cost divided by enjoyment hours as the formula. :)

I get what your saying, however this game is a port from another platform (the Wii U) and was £20 on that platform back in 2015 / 2016. I would actually buy it again on the Switch for a similar price just to play multiplayer with friends, however it's hard to justify almost double the price for a port of an old game I've owned since 2015. Granted i'm sure many people didn't play it back on the Wii U so depending on your situation this might be a deal. For myself personally this is not a deal, however it would be unfair for me to vote either way as it is a slight deal compared to other places selling the game on the Switch platform.

My bad I knew it was something along them lines lol. Shame you have to spend 50 but still cheaper. I always use this to get full priced games for cheaper.

I got a discounted wii u a few weeks ago and other than having no box it was near mint and had mariokart 8 on it They wouldn't buy a phone I had because of a tiny crack in the screen surround or a camera lens which had a bit of dust in it (perfectly normal for a dslr lens) so they are fussy on what they take.

have you read the terms of the 2 year warranty? to be completely honest i don't know why you decided to be passive aggressive with me in the first place here. go to your nearest cex, look at the items that are labelled boxed/unboxed and then the exact same thing that is discounted and see the differences for yourself. in fact my brother just bought a discounted xbox one controller 2 weeks ago and took it back the next day because the buttons were sticking down once pressed. are you telling me that is perfectly working? coz i dont think so :)

I was in the same boat (lol) (lol) but hey, gameplay beats all right!? I'm jealous of the mario edition....

I saw on eBay; Zelda Wind Waker HD digital for £9.7x from Music Magpie. Seemed good

Yeah okay mate, so this is the process is it; CeX test an item and decide it is 'nearly broke' so rather than reject it, they categorise it as 'discounted', and buy it from the person selling DESPITE knowing that it's 'nearly broke'. They then sell this 'nearly broke' item with a 2 year warranty. (lol)

i dont think they come with manuals now

Received a couple of switch games today from music magpie, I noticed they are not sealed or shrink wrapped but I cannot remember if they should be, only bought a couple of other games (for my son) and I think he got them from the post before I saw. Should the games be sealed or shrink wrapped? Should they have a manual or some bit of paper inside the case?

If you have a son anything like mine he will want to play the switch before school, after school and during school too apparently once he's played Kirby! Be warned... Be warned!

Had all mine despatched.

Breath of the Wild (Used) is just under £30 on amazon via musicmagpie store https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B01N1083WZ/ Mario Kart 8 (Used) - £30 https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B01N1081RO/

OoS. Expired?

I agree with you on switch games being too expensive. I assume when you say 'opened' you're talking about the recently reported vulnerability that may lead to homebrew and emulators? What I'd really like to see from that, would be someone hacking the switch to run remote play from the ps4. Using a switch to run ps4 games would be brilliant.... In my opinion.

I like having original games but these switch games are far to expensive, once the switch is "opened" fully their game sales will dry up.

The OP said they should be in New Condition but the items are used. No MK8 left now unfortunately though!

Instruction manual says apply hammer directly to console to immediately end game.

Same here :(

My alert notification on my phone made me think crash bandicoot was £17.99 on the switch. Damn you for getting me excited!

Great price mate. Worth pointing out Boomerang also got a few copies for £15.

Monster price buzz! (flirt)

That’s great. But they are totally different concepts none-the-less.

I care for the sake of other people’s boredom and sanity enough to comment on your post. On behalf of the human race: nobody cares.

Yes, but the wii u remote can be used to play the game in hand held, portable mode, as long as you are close to the console, as for when you play on the TV.. the remote screen becomes just a gimmick, displaying the menu, map, inventory, which is interesting, but since you can get to the menu/map/inventory with the press of a button, you may end up never looking at the remote screen, or just using a wii u pro controller.

I haven't heard that Nintendo have stopped supplying Wii U games :{

Love the cognitive dissonance (pirate)

Regularly see the Neon go for £249 and the Grey for a little less, so its an ok price, not low enough for myself to bite yet tho.

Not bad if you have some club card points to use as well

In store too

Out of stock now but great find
