Hence the [Switch] in the title.
yep, had to click through to realise that "[Switch] = Nintendo Switch, Switch is a pretty generic term, it's not like Xbox, Gameboy, Wii, PlayStation, etc. The word game somewhere in there might have helped :-)
anyway I was just helping anyone else who was confused.
Click on page just to find out what the product was……
Did you think:
[Switch] Octopath Traveler $69 @ Big W
was some sort of on/off switch for a dimensional portal to 8 mystical off-world lands?
@KLoNe: I had NFI. I thought to was some sort of luggage thing. I don't own a nintendo switch, to me when someone says Switch, i think a tradional switch, unless they use some sort of gaming context. as i said the word Switch isn't like Xbox, Playstation, etc it's exclusively used for a game console.
@supabrudda: NSW is used quite often now, but for us Aussies, that certainly doesn't help out at all!
Typically it's "game title (platform)"
I seriously thought it was a samsonite luggage.
Yeah I thought it was some luggage thing too.
I do like the Op does all the time, start talking about something & then people give you the WTF? look.
Yes, I have to agree with all the above comments that it isn't immediately obvious what the word Switch is referring to and yes I did realise after a moment but I had to re-read the title to make sure. It just makes browsing OzBargain less efficient if you have to question whether a deal is relevant or not. And here I go wasting more time commenting!
Was $69 on launch day from JB.
Where's the bargain
Not a bargain but this game is selling out all around the world.
Both SquareEnix and Nintendo are surprised at how well it is selling. Reprint might be a possibility down the track but who knows. If you want a physical copy, then I suggest you jump on it now…Um, this isn't like the early 90's when carts got a limited run. If this thing is selling, they will make more.
Switch carts are a lot cheaper than high capacity snes carts were.
Physical doesn't run out anymore
A few Big W stores have sold out, I wasn't able to get it at Brookside or Brisbane CBD, EB in the city should price match, but one of them was sold out too.
Says not available online.
You clearly do not remember the super nintendo at all.. Hell the Playstation 2 would have some issues with it.
Its style is inspired by 16bit Japanese RPGs.
Now $69 at Amazon so $59 with $10 Prime Video credit. Also 6% cashback from CR.
sorry for the ignorance but what's this $10 credit?
It expired now, but it was a credit for watching a Prime video https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/388910
It has been $69 at JB on the debut day
How did people get this $10 off voucher?
Watched a video.
Do you guys recommend buying a Nintendo Switch console with this?
There's a 3 hour demo you can try.
He's not going to be able to try the demo if he doesn't have a Switch!
True, maybe he can use his imagination.
It is a pretty good game. Especially if you grew up playing the 16 bit era RPGs. This is basically the spiritual successor to Final Fantasy 6/3 but with a lot of the modern tricks with graphics in lighting etc.
tldr; Yes worth it.
Switch is a great console overall so yes. Lots of great games including Octopath.
Sonic Mania Plus for $42 is cheaper than the $49 elsewhere too. Will need to grab that.
Good name for an Intel CPU.
The game is $69 on Amazon with Prime right now:
https://www.amazon.com.au/Nintendo-Octopath-Traveler/dp/B07D…
Yup, bought with $10 credit.
You're a true Ozbargainer, good work :)
I played this game, reminded me of Saga Frontier. I did not like SaGa Frontier
Was it not this price from launch at Big W? Big W and JB both had it for the cheapest price at launch. Day after, the price was increased to $79 at JB but has always been this price at Big W. https://www.bigw.com.au/product/octopath-traveler/p/699925/ No need to wait till tomorrow.
Came in here wondering what kind of provider switch this is about. Didn't think it was Nintendo related at all.
Update: You can now get this from Amazon for ~$55 using the $10 off coupon + cashrewards
Does anyone know how long it takes to get the credit?
I did it yesterday morning, and I'm kicking myself for not doing it earlier.
I hope it comes before the price rises again.
Mine didn't arrive either but I spoke to their chat and they manually activated it on my account.
No stock in any Big W in Melb. Does it mean Big W will get stock in tomorrow?
This game looks amazing but the turn based RPG is a deal breaker for me :( I'd love this graphics engine to be used for other games!!
A lot of games use Unreal Engine??
I think he means the visual style.
Sucks that you miss out on many of the best games ever made.
I think generally speaking, if the tag used for the deal is Gaming and the title contains Switch in it, it's referring to a Nintendo Switch deal.
Are these generally still available in store?
My local Big W had sold out. But I was able to get a price match at the nearby EbGames.
Eastland had none and I was unable to price match at eb:(
Got EB at Casey Central to price match $69 for their last copy :)
BTW: it's a game for the Nintendo Switch if anyone else was wondering.
