Just be aware you get 3 months free access to Just Dance Live which has hundred of songs. After that it’s £20 a year. You really do need it as the best songs can be found there.
Lad will dig this for his birthday.
Thanks OP! My daughter loves the Just Dance games - 4% quidco too :)
Thanks good deal, daughter will be really pleased with this for her Switch. Heat added
Good price @myshon - my kids love these games :)
Career mode is something I've always had an issue with in Tennis games. The only recent game with a career mode I can get into is Tennis Elbow 2013. Before that was Game, Net and Match which was 1998!
I don’t think it’s a case of having a sparse line up of players, more that it’s expensive t get the licences to have them. It’s a relatively small publisher remember. EA have given up on Tennis games. I’ve high hopes for this game, but if the gameplay is right and the career mode has longevity, I can wait for licensed players and tournaments. Whether they be free downloads or not. 🤞
If you're interested in running homebrew and custom firmware, the scene just exploded and its based around an un-patchable firmware bug. The only way to fix it is a hardware revision from Nintendo, so if you wait to buy chances are you wont be able to use this exploit
I think theyre talking about hacks
Its annoying coz I kinda want those two - the roster will be sparse as it is - holding two big names back is all dubious in my eyes.


Ok. :S
In my world? No. On hukd, maybe, we're stretching comparatives here. Again, pointless. The majority of freebies require something paid for, thats what im saying. Pointless argument. If its not pointless to you, then I do hope your pushing your point on all applicable freebies. Otherwise ask yourself why here and nowhere else? Fanboy? I wouldn t even wish I had time for that nonsense, nintendo, xbox, ps, really couldnt give a rats arse about whose better, if "I" enjoy something thats all that matters.
Stupidity? So these games with gold and ps+ are free in your world huh? And "again" is obviously in reference to nintendo re-releasing wii u games at full price yet again for the sad nintendo fans that accept it and lap it up.
Not sure if "again" is in reference to Game or Nintendo but cant see why you have to buy again on Nintendo, unless you're coming from old to new console. Either way its a pretty poor/pointless argument, its a freebie in as much as the majority of freebies are. When you start saying its not free because you have to buy the games first, you're diving head first into the rabbit hole of stupidity.
It costs nothing to register the games? You have to buy the games(again) in order to register. That's not free.
Thank you.
Who cares about the game......£64.99 for a Harvest Moon mug is the way I'm seeing it. (y)
Really wanted this (would of been my first HM) buy everything I've seen and read about it screams awful. Looks like a shit mobile game.
Yes, since 2014 Natsume have been shamelessly using the Harvest Moon name. Story of Seasons is the real Harvest Moon :) Interesting reading all about it on Wikipedia
Harvest Moon is just a name these days, the original developers moved on to a new game called Story of Seasons.
I've ended up with two copy's of this special edition and not a fan of Cex. If anyone would like to trade for their Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Mario & Rabbids Kingdom Battle or Pokken Tournament I'd be happy to discuss.
Was too busy doing what now!? (excited) :p (flirt) ;)
Was too busy debating and missed it but thanks for all the positive comments, will definitely snap it up if I see it at this sort of price :)
Thanks I just ordered :D Best price I've seen for this edition
Seems like more stock. I just ordered a copy now.


Yep Base changes the price so no need to cancel (y)
That’s how I’m reading it.
Thank you. :)
Base alters the price. You don’t need to do anything.
Thanks for that. So based on base's T&C's we would have to cancel and reorder to get the current reduced price otherwise if the price increases from £28.99 but does not go above the original pre-order price then we would still pay the lowest price on dispatch. Its a shame its not like amazon's price promise. If I am wrong about this then please correct me. :)
I'm glad they're releasing all these old games on switch but come on, £25 for 16 years old game ?! You can get them on steam for less than a £1 each: https://www.g2a.com/syberia-steam-key-global-i10000000233004 https://www.g2a.com/syberia-ii-steam-key-global-i10000000280004 They should release virtual console on Switch - that's what I'm waiting for but looks like they're not going to do that:(
Couple of squid on steam
Whenever I see this cover I instantly assume it's one of those trash asset flip games found on Steam. They really could do with changing that
I personally cant believe they are charging this much (for re-releases), especially when the games are so old.
We are probably about to come in for some criticism, but I also appreciate and desire a bit of nice box art, and an attractive cover. There should be a Wooly Mammoth on the front cover. I don't get why with repackaged *budget* games they go out of their way to give themselves extra work and ruin the cover and replace with inferior stuff. At least it doesn't have a big "selects" logo on it :) I think I will buy this version anyway as a good deal. Will wait till it has been released in June though, as if you buy it a day later you can use your 365 points to get a few quid off. Bit silly they don't let you use your points on pre-orders.
I have this game and it's poor compared to the PS4 version. It stutters a lot and slows down. Kids probably won't care though....
Really? I wonder what damage Pac Man and Mario handle on my generation, eating pills, chasing ghost and stomping on koppa Troopas heads. Personally never had more than a speeding ticket, never a parking ticket, never in trouble for violence and am actually a member of charity against such as was raised with a violent threat father. I think it's more the parents not the video games, teach them right and they have knowledge and respect. After all, it's a proven fact video games doesn't promote violence but decrease it, its a parents job to make sure its age appropriate. Not directing that last part at anyone.
I noticed slow down when a lot of action was happening at same time, for example destroying a silver statue and generating a lot of studs. However, a minor issue with an otherwise great game, at this price highly recommended!
(y)
The game is no different from 30 to 50 years ago when young children played around being cowboys and Indians. Shooting each other with bow/ arrows and guns. Fast forward 20 years ago and it was ninja turtles where kids went around doing flying kicks, playing rough on each other. Let kids be kids. Boys especially will always be interested in this and Lego is certainly the best exposure for extremely mild elements of crime/ violence. As a parent you can just explain these actions and educate them on the real world. Let them be kids but also don't put them in a bubble. Harmless fun exposure like Lego is probably a good start. Explaining and educating is always the best policy. Anyone who uses gaming as an excuse, for example that one element that made them commit crimes or violently hurt people, are talking rubbish. It's parenting (all kinds, scenarios, broken homes, DV etc.) , bad influences with friends/ other kids, lack of discipline, social media that 'can' influence children to act in that kind of way. But I do think it's important to try and review most kinds of entertainment that your children watch. But mild increasing exposure over the years is needed. We all know of someone who was put in a bubble far too long and it shows significantly on their teenage/ adult life. *please this is not a dig at yourself. I do not know anything about you. My opinion/ point is that Lego games are not bad at all and probably a great learning tool in general life etc.
Downloads ftom Russian eShop comes with free novichok DLC too!
Revolut is your friend for currency conversion without fees (strong)
Looks good with a wacky story but gameplay seems meh to me. Not sure if I will get it.. Heat for price!!
When you upgrade to a next gen majority of the games your holding on to are then worth near nothing.
nintendo exclusives should b bought on cartridges as they hold thir value, and 1 day u will likely want to sell it on if u upgrade to next gen of console
Base has the pre-order on 39.85£. They are having great prices las months (since I realized) and prefer to buy from other places instead of Amazon. https://www.base.com/buy/product/mario-tennis-aces-nintendo-switch/dgc-mtans.htm
from the looks of it this just seems like mario tennis with a story mode, not really worth 40 so gonna wait for a price drop
Looking forward to this. You'd think they'd be bringing out a new strikers game though given its the world cup this year. Very odd
Noice- I'll be picking this up. Like a bit of Norse mayhem
https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/credit-cards/travel-credit-cards The worst cards have a spending fee or minimum charge for foreign currency transactions. 50p - £1.50 on top (horror) Bad for small transactions
I was charged 4p extra on top of what the game costs. I'm fine with a small transaction fee as i only intend to buy the small games digitally
Your welcome, enjoy :)
Just bought through mobile £4, all works perfect, thanks man!
The US & Canada are relatively easy as I use PCGameSupply.com to buy eshop top-up cards (usually during a discount offer). I've also used the Russian eshop but that's treated like an EU store so my Revolut card works there. The only slightly more convoluted one was the Japanese store, had to set up an Amazon JP account. And I do have different accounts for each store.
Well worth the money. Great game!
It's super difficult to buy from non-EU stores from the UK, unless you create a whole separate account and have a card that works.
On sale until the 1st May, the top three prices being; Mexico $209.99 approx. £8.21 (not sure about any additional taxes) Canada $14.99 approx. £8.38 (plus at least 5% sales tax) United States $14.99 approx. £8.43 (0% sales tax if you choose the right State) Full list HERE.
I was playing the demo the other day and I thought to myself, "when this comes up on sale, I'm going to get it". The rest, as they say, is history.
This lot seem to think so.
This any good
£14.15 @ Sweden eshop
I ordered this last week, great deal, but please note that if you want the exterior box to be in mint condition then you might be disappointed as they ship them in plastic packaging. Mine turned up a little tatty, but I can deal with that. :)
I’m trying my luck via AliExpress. Almost the same pricing, here’s hoping it arrives without any nasty surprises (embarrassed)
A great controller. I used this to complete Celeste on the Switch (a fairly difficult game) and had no problems whatsoever. While the d-pad isnt perfect, it is MUCH better than the one on the official Switch Pro controller. It pairs with the Switch straight out of the box. You are able to turn the console off with the controller, however you CANNOT wake the console with the controller and so will have to press the power button on the Switch to wake it. The best feature for me though is that I can pair this with multiple devices at once. For me this is: 1: Nintendo Switch 2: PC 3: SNES Mini with 8bitdo dongle. You can switch between all devices really easily without having to pair each time. When you turn the controller on, you just hold a button down that represents the device you will be using it on, i.e hold down "Y" for Switch, "X" for PC, then press the "Start" button. It will automatically go into the correct mode without having to pair each time for different devices. It also remembers the last device you used it with so only need to press the "Start" button to go back into the last used mode. A very well made controller. It supports everything the official Switch PRO controller does EXCEPT NFC (only useful for scanning amibos). Its not as comfy as a PRO controller, but if you have ever used a SNES controller then you know what to expect. Hope this is useful.
yes, but it'll take a few weeks
Is it free shipping to the uk with the pad before I look to order one
im sorry to hear that, i would open that case immediately, you've already waited 3 months thats more than generous imo. Also in my experience paypal almost always side with the buyer so i'd like to think you'll have a good chance of getting your money back. good luck (y)
Lashed out and got the mini figure one lol. My son saw this and immediately wanted it so thanks for the heads up and what is a significant saving. Heat added
Just debating whether to pre order the one with the mini figure for an extra fiver.....
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying there have been issues with orders going missing or being late, my issue is specifically with their so called loyalty scheme. They were extremely inflexible with me and had I instead converted my points and placed my orders two days later, I would then have been entitled to the extra points. Seems a bit ridiculous to penalise a customer for the sake of two days, rather than give them what they should have been entitled to by rights, especially as the orders had not been despatched by that stage.
I ordered a couple of games from them (one was a pre order) and got the first game two days layer. No issues with 365 so far, however it is early days for me.
I would implore everyone on this site to NOT use 365games. I placed two orders one day after another and used points I gained previously to convert into vouchers to use on those orders. On the third day, I received an email advising of a promotion whereby if I convert my points into vouchers and redeem them against an order, I can gain an additional amount of points, eligible for one week only. As I had literally placed two orders over the previous two days, I asked if they could give me the points, instead of me cancelling and reordering, as I had already converted my points into a voucher and redeemed it. They told me basically if they did it for me, everyone would have to get the same treatment, so tough. I rated their service as poor in response. I got an email back from 'Mia', a trainee customer service person (that should have been the clue), that she might be able to offer me some points as a token gesture, but just to be clear, I wouldn't be getting anywhere near what I could have received had I placed the order when the promotion went live. She then had the cheek to demand that I change how I personally rated the service that she gave me. Needless to say, I gave them a mouthful. I have cancelled my order for Shenmue (the other was too late to cancel) and I will be closing down my account. I would strongly recommend everyone else does likewise, as they do not give a damn about customer loyalty, unlike thegamecollection and base.com, who have to date been excellent and of course don't take money up front. Previously I would defend 365games but after this email response, I will no longer support them and will be closing my account. Please think twice before using this company if you care about loyalty schemes, as they have no loyalty to their customers.
I know someone who swears by Toby deals and it's really caveat emptor. She hasn't had any issue, but as others have mentioned, after sales service is almost non-existent on this one.
As I understand it, these are Asian market imports so even if you have any problems (I'm on my 3rd Nintendo Switch since launch, 1 LCD screen, 1 battery) trying to return it to "Toby deals" Nintendo won't touch it as it as not an EU model either.
Has anyone actually bought from them so actually knows what they're like? So tempting, especially with the code WELCOME6 for new customers that gives you another £6 off.
Not going to chance it even at this price I'd rather wait and buy from somewhere more reputable still heat for a good price for anyone that trusts the company :)
Looks like one of those wowcher clone companies
Oos.
Expired
Loved this on PC. So much better than the random nature of the first game.
Very good game but how is this hot?!
How is it irrelevant? It's a comment relating to his opinion on the price, which is kind of the whole idea of this site. As a sarcastic jibe, your comment is vastly more irrelevant.
Would you. Thanks for your irrelevant comment.
If I was paying this price I'd expect it to include all 3 games

Introducing Nintendo
If you’ve ever had an interest in video gaming, Nintendo is a brand that needs no introduction. Since the early 1980s, the Japanese company has sold hundreds of millions of consoles, accessories and in-house game titles. They have introduced the world to household names like Mario and Luigi, Donkey Kong and Zelda, and pioneered technology like light guns, motion sensors and portable gaming systems.
With an exciting new range of consoles and games on the horizon, this buyer’s guide explains how to buy Nintendo products, and how to find the best possible Nintendo deals.
Gamer’s Rule: Nintendo
Nintendo was actually born in the Japanese city of Kyoto in 1889, but at that stage, Mario wasn’t even a glimmer in the founders’ eyes. In fact, Nintendo’s first products were playing cards, a sign of the company’s future direction.
Things started to change dramatically in the 1970s when the company began distributing American made consoles like the Magnavox. In 1979, the firm introduced the first ‘game and watch’, a precursor to the Gameboy and 3DS. Next came the Famicom, which became famous across the world as the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).
1989 saw the release of the Gameboy, the world’s first genuine handheld gaming console, followed by the advanced Super Nintendo (SNES) in 1991. Famous titles continued to flow, including Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country and Super Mario Kart.
Another milestone was reached in 1996, when the Nintendo 64 was released, the first mainstream 64-bit console. In the interim, Nintendo had even made a brief foray into virtual reality, launching the experimental Virtual Boy in 1995. Innovation continued with the Game Boy Colour and Advance in 1998 and 2001 respectively, before the Nintendo DS arrived in 2004.
The 2000s also saw advances in home consoles, with the GameCube debuting in 2001, before the Wii came along in late 2006. Integrating sophisticated motion sensors, the Wii was something completely new, and it was followed in 2012 by the Wii U.
In the meantime, handheld gaming moved forwards, thanks to the 3DS, launched in 2011, which brings us almost up to date. Well, not quite, as 2016 also saw the announcement of the Nintendo Switch, the latest in a long line of advanced gaming products.
What Can You Use Your Nintendo Wii U or Switch For?
Nintendo’s most recent consoles are not conventional gaming systems like the PlayStation or Xbox. Nintendo have always taken a different approach to their products, incorporating educational, child-friendly features.
That’s why the Wii was designed to facilitate things like workouts with sports-themed titles becoming some of the system’s most popular offerings. Both the Wii U and the Switch include active games that carry on this theme.
The new Wii Remote controller included with the Wii U also allows you to hook up different controllers and play collaboratively with family and friends. The system can also play a range of downloadable entertainment, including a range of games and apps.
A web browser is included with both the Wii U and the Switch, which function as social media consoles, allowing you to check the news, send e-mails and stay in touch with friends. There’s a camera on the controller and the Wii U can even be used to stream online movies.
The Switch adds a few extra capabilities. Most obviously, it doubles up as a standard console and a handheld due to its innovative controller. You can hook up eight separate Switch systems for huge multiplayer games, but you don’t have the option of streaming from online services like Netflix or Amazon.
Nintendo: Important System Specifications
OK, so that’s the basic uses of the Switch and the Wii U, but what about their specifications? The Switch has built on the Wii U in many areas, but the Wii U remains an impressive gaming product. For hardcore gamers, the devil may be in the details, so here they are:
For the Wii U, released in 2012:
- 25GB Blu-ray disc and 8GB of internal flash storage capacity
- Processor: Tri Core, 3GHz PowerPC-based 45nm

- Bluetooth Bluetooth 4.1 and Wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac compliant

Nintendo Switch: Playing Out and About With a Home Console
It might also make sense to compare the Wii U and the Switch to the most advanced Nintendo handheld, the New 3DS:
- Storage: 4GB Micro SD Card
- Processor: 804MHz quad-core ARM11 & 134MHz single-core ARM9

- Weight: 329g
- Battery life: 3.5–7 hours (max)
The Nintendo Product Range
Nintendo have a huge list of historical products, many of which are still available (if not manufactured). For example, you can always expect to find 3DS deals and even first generation Wii consoles are available from time to time. Here are the most important products to look out for:
- Nintendo DS - The first 32-bit handheld console, the DS was launched in 2004 and its fold over appearance has become familiar on trains and in cars across the country. It is marked by a pair of LCD screens, the ability to easily link multiple DS consoles, wireless connectivity and a built-in microphone. All in all, the DS, the DS Lite and the DSi, sold 154 million units becoming a worldwide success. They are still popular today.
- Nintendo 3DS - The successor to the DS, the 3DS was launched in 2011 and is still being updated today. Copying the dual-screen approach of the DS, the 3DS introduced 3D graphics, without the need for special glasses and added new non-gamin features like access to Nintendo’s Miiverse social network and streaming services like Netflix or Hulu. The original 3DS was soon joined by the 3DS XL, with a longer battery life and the cheaper 2DS, a slightly stripped down model. Finally, in 2015, the ‘New’ Nintendo 3DS was launched, adding different controls and a faster processor (see the specs section for details).
- The Original Wii - When it was launched in November 2006, the Wii took the gaming world by a storm with its motion-sensing controller. In fact, it outpaced both the Xbox 360 and the PS3, selling over 100 million units. Featuring excellent backwards compatibility with GameCube titles, it was an instant success.
- Wii U - As the Wii started to seem technologically outdated, Nintendo brought out the Wii U in 2012. A direct competitor for the Xbox One and PS4, the Wii U was much smaller than the Wii and featured a wholly new controller, with a touch screen. Again, backwards compatibility was included, as was compatibility with new controllers like the Nintendo Balance Board. Extra non-gaming features like the Miiverse were included too, adding more functionality than the classic Wii.
- The Nintendo Switch - In 2016, Nintendo dropped another bombshell by announcing the release of the Nintendo Switch. In this new system, the console unit spends most of its time in a docking station connected to a home TV. However, users can remove it and use it like a conventional tablet as well. The new Joy-Con controller is another innovation, allowing gamers to grip it like a normal controller or attach two controllers to create a handheld system. With high-end processor specs, the Switch is the most advanced system available after its release in early 2017.
The New Nintendo 3DS
What About Retro Nintendo Products?
Retro gaming has become a craze amongst nostalgic gamers (and even a younger crowd), and Nintendo has embraced the trend. Drawing on their long history of gaming systems, they have brought out a product called the Nintendo Classic Mini - A tiny version of the 1980s NES that plugs directly into your TV and has a classic NES controller.
The NES Classic Mini comes with 30 pre-installed games, including classics like Super Mario Brothers, Metroid and the Legend of Zelda and it comes in a collectable 1980s-style box as well.
You could also think about getting hold of an N64. Cutting edge in 1996, the N64 remains fun to play, with great games like Mario Kart 64 and a well-regarded controller. N64 titles are freely available from Amazon and plenty of other HotUKDeals merchants, so if you have a desire to step back in time, it’s easy to do so.
What to Think About Before Buying a Nintendo Console
Obviously, Nintendo buyers have plenty of choice at their disposal. The first thing to think about is what kind of gamer you are. If you are into high-spec action games like Call of Duty, it may well be that none of these Nintendo systems fit the bill, and you might look into Xbox or PlayStation models. If you are looking for an accessible, family-friendly system, Nintendo is the company to turn to.
If you intend to play on the move, the 3DS is clearly the best option. It has an excellent range of titles, you can download extra content if needed and it competes well with the PS Vita, the main alternative. However, if you want a semi-portable system to use in the home, think about going for the new Switch. With its adaptable tablet format, you can take it to bed or use it in the lounge, and leave it to charge in the TV room when not in use.
For pure gaming, the Wii U remains the best choice. The Switch may be more advanced, but the Wii U has a huge library of games like Mario Kart, Super Mario World, Splatoon and Super Smash Bros., as well as backwards compatibility with the Wii. It may be four or five years old, but the Wii U still measures up favourably with the PS4 and Xbox for sheer fun (although with its limited graphical power, it’s not the system for death match fans).
For parents, the key thing is that Nintendo is a family-oriented company. They always seek to control the content of games produced for their systems, avoiding bloody, graphic titles and focusing on pure gameplay instead.
How to Purchase the Right Nintendo Games
There’s no point in owning a Nintendo Wii U or a 3DS without having the games to play on it, but how should you go about finding the right games for you and your family to play?
Naturally, you’ll find plenty of discounted titles at the Nintendo HotUKDeals listings, but pay attention to a few things before making a purchase. For instance, if you are buying for a child, think about their age and skill level. Racing games, action games and sports titles tend to be more accessible for younger children, while RPGs appeal to older children as their imagination and cognitive skills develop.
Look at the ratings of each game too. Each title will have a rating sticker on the front of the box. Look out for games marked ‘EC’ (early childhood) or ‘E’ (everyone) for games that won’t pose any risks to your kids.
If you need any information about the gameplay, head to Nintendo.com, where you’ll find a database of every title available (something that you don’t get with Sony or Microsoft).
What Alternatives Should You Think About?
Before you plump for a Nintendo Switch, it’s worth thinking about the alternatives. After all, you could also go for a PS4 Pro, a PS Vita, an Xbox 360 or an Xbox One S. A new Xbox is slated for release in 2017 (‘Project Scorpio’), so that may be a factor as well.
Generally speaking, PlayStation and Microsoft systems deliver faster, higher resolution graphics and are suited to hectic action games. If you enjoy playing multiplayer fighting games like Call of Duty or Destiny, an Xbox or PS4 will be ideal.
The catalogue of titles available for Xboxes and PlayStations is also larger (although Nintendo focuses on producing quality, not quantity). Both the Xbox One and the Wii U have good backwards compatibility, while the PS4 does not. However, the PS4 Pro is better suited to virtual reality gaming thanks to PlayStation VR, which could be a deciding factor if VR gaming intrigues you.
What Kind of Accessories are Available for Nintendo Systems?
As with any gaming console, Nintendo’s Switch, 3DS and Wii U consoles have plenty of accessories which can enhance the gaming experience. Here are some of the most common to include with your original purchase:
- Extra controllers - Nintendo Switch and Wii U bundles tend to come with a limited number of controllers. If you intend to play games in larger groups, add an extra controller or two when you make your purchase. You’ll often find that merchants bundle in extra controllers as an incentive.
- Specialist controllers - The Wii U and classic Wii acquired an excellent range of additional controllers like the Balance Board and steering wheel. There’s also a smaller controller called the ‘nunchuk’ which adds functionality to certain titles, particularly RPGs. You can also buy something called the ‘Wii Zapper’, a housing for the nunchuk and Wii remote which resembles a gun.
- Cables - You can purchase extra cables like RGB cables, which link your Wii to a standard TV, LAN adapters to connect Wii systems to non-wireless networks and Wii Speak, an audio sensing product which allows you to add speech elements to compatible games.
The range of accessories available for the Nintendo Switch isn’t clear as yet, but you will certainly be able to add extra Joy-Con controllers. Look out for other specialist controllers, speakers and cameras, as Nintendo are likely to bring out plenty of ways to add functionality to the system.
Where and When to Purchase Your Next Nintendo System
If you want to purchase a Wii U, a New 3Ds or a Nintendo Switch, what’s the best way to go about doing so?
The first place to look is the excellent Nintendo website at www.nintendo.co.uk, which features specs and details about accessories, games and bundles. But it’s not the place to make a purchase. Have a look at the bundles on offer and then search for them on HotUKDeals to see if a UK merchant is running a discount. Then, head to their own website or a high street store and complete the purchase.
You’ll find Nintendo deals from big brands like Currys, GAME, Smyths Toys and Argos, as well as Amazon and eBay sellers, and the Nintendo Store itself. Compare prices and find a deal that suits you.
It also pays to check the listings at certain times of year. As Black Friday and Cyber Monday approach in late November, have a look for Nintendo offers, as there tend to be plenty of special promotions. January Sales is another good time to check. However, expect to see plenty of Wii U deals as the Switch is rolled out too.
Save Money on Nintendo’s Products at HotUKDeals
Nintendo remains a massive player in the gaming industry. Their Wii U and 3DS lead the field in family gaming, and the Switch looks set to join them. You can save plenty of money on your next purchase by regularly checking the Nintendo HotUKDeals listings.
Still a ripoff
