So you got your new Switch? Why don't get this gem too! Price just dropped to $62.95 from $78. More savings plus the cashback!
CamelCamelCamel.
Digital edition is on sales in the eStore until the 29th $62.95(30%off) or $85.45 bundeled with the expansion which is a digital only add-on anyway.
Mario Odessy also for $53.30 (33% off).
I just got a switch… Mainly bought it for flights. Will Zelda fit on the built in storage and can you play digital only copies without a net connection?
You'll need a microSD if you want to fit more than 1 on board game.
Actually - that’s not really true.. sure having an SD card is worthwhile, probably needed and also very cheap now - but I have Mario Kart, Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 2 and Zelda, plus some indies on the internal memory. It’s not very much space, but it’s obviously not ‘1’ game.
From memory Zelda is around the 12-14GB mark, odyssey something like 5 or 6, splatoon I think was only 3 or something and Kart is around 7 ish. I would say you absolutely need an SD card, but not for 1 or two or even three decent games plus small ones.
Edit : updates to games will obviously take some space also of course.
@cwongtech: Yes, generally the first party Nintendo games are quite small (good compression?) but the third party games tend to be a lot bigger.. but that’s usually if they are multiplatform and not specifically developed for the Switch platform. e.g. Mario + Rabbids is small even though it’s third party, assumedly because it was developed for the system. But most ‘ports’ are huge.
@Mortal Krumpet: Mainly because Nintendo isn't big on voice acting, whereas other titles often have scripts longer than an average movie due to multiple dialogue paths through scenes etc.
No sure - I got a physical edition of Zelda and a 128GB card day one so I've never really tracked it. I'm temped to go digital and sell my physical game cartridge - certainly would if there was any discounted eStore prepaid cards going around .. that doesn't happen often enough for sure.
It' pretty cheap these days to grab a 200GB card (think i just saw one for $45 on Amazon but OZB has been littered with deals on those and larger lately).
400G was/is $95
@Diji1: yeah I ordered the 400GB from Joybuy a week or two ago… could be a while for it to rock up though.
Mario + Rabbids Gold Edition just dropped to $39 too, on Amazon. Great price.
Brilliant game, if you're into Zelda it's all you really need for your Switch as it'll keep you busy for ages.
And Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is $60.
And Cashrewards is up to 12.5%!
JB Hi Fi said they will price match this.
You can get an additional 12.5% off through cashrewards though
This is true, but I want to play now!!!! haha. Also, I use shopback but it never seems to work for amazon. So I am not that fussed to miss out on the % back
Need to add to cart after activating cashback.
@Turffe: Yeah, that's how I did it. I've had multiple purchases not work and they are being investigated. Never had any issue with other sites.
this has to be the highest profit margin game of all time. not only has it sold like hotcakes, its never been on what i would consider a "sale" price, nor do i see ever it going on "sale" for 1-2 more years.
This is normal for most first party Nintendo games for a long time. They treat the value of their games different and there games have a long tail where most other games sell a majority of copies in the first few weeks
Exactly. Independent game stores actually prefer to carry Nintendo, because they know that they're not going to discount them after 3 weeks and wipe out their profit margin.

Since the switch came out they've been doing regular eshop discount sales, it's already been this price quite a few times.
how many upvoters actually didn't already have this game i would suggest about 10%
I think there’s a lot of new Switch owners here thanks to some of the deals on Friday.
