As expected, the Nintendo eStore has just gone live with a bunch of deals. I'll update the full list shortly but for now:

I think I've captured all the 'big deals' for now (it's time for bed, after all) but there are many more now available on the estore. Some of these games are now cheaper than physical, and others are just equal to the equivalent best price for physical.

    Oh, yay. This makes digital prices about the same as everyday physical prices. I can barely contain my excitement..

      I prefer digital because they cant get lost or stolen and there is no need to be swapping sd cards

            @YellowKnight: My son and I both have my account on our Switches. He can play any game I purchase digitally on his Switch and on his own account. (The only downside is that I must have internet to verify my have licensees before I can play)

            Not sure why I was negged for mentioning this above.

              @[Deactivated]: One more thing about game sharing is that it's impossible for you to LAN even with two Switch using the same copy of the game. Online, however, would work but for games without pre-made group good luck with finding each other in random matching lobby.

        Be VERY careful buying digitally from Nintendo or Sony (Steam and Microsoft seem more reasonable). I've had bad experiences with both companies and now only buy physical media from them apart from indie titles. Sony's PS+ auto renew got me and they refused a refund the next day and Nintendo implied that the pro controller could be used for all Wii U games and refused a refund for me when I bought Resident Evil 4 and found out it wasn't supported. Both companies were quite rude about it too. Nintendo were more professional than Sony though. The Sony rep literally laughed at me when I asked for a refund.

        Would love to pick up a physical copy if it was priced close to this - recommendations for gumtree are not exactly helpful or consistent :P

        I've been seeing it on gumtree and Facebook marketplace for a few years around that price. In Brisbane anyway.

    • scud70 on 12/04/2019 - 08:37

      its not as bad if you got nintendo shop credit in previous sales :) so its an extra % off …

    • ItsMeAgro on 12/04/2019 - 11:49

      Aren't Nintendo still horribly behind with digital, too? In the Wii days your games were flushed when your console died, weren't they?

      • Linkwick on 12/04/2019 - 12:01

        Yeah, but now they're tied to your account. As long as you make your new console your "primary", all licences will move to that one (you'd now have to be online for the old console's games to work after migration). That's how people like "Where's_That_Cake" do game-sharing. :-)

        Game saves are more difficult - you have to have an online subs ($30/yr) to get cloud saves, & so far you can't physically transfer to a new console (eg. on a microSD).

    • AngusD on 12/04/2019 - 08:12

      $62 as a "sale" price on a 2 year old game is not a good price. It's just good by Nintendo standards.

      By comparison, the <5 months old Red Dead Redemption 2 is currently $64 on PSN. Horizon Zero Dawn which came out almost the exact same time as BotW is $25.

      • Wonderfool on 12/04/2019 - 10:55

    • mingofmongo on 12/04/2019 - 08:19

      I use canspend.com or nintypricer.com

    • ekto on 12/04/2019 - 09:36

      Use https://switcher.co/deals/

      The site also lists the cheapest the game has ever been and when it was. And it is much faster than eshop-prices and the other ones linked.

      • sakurakiks on 12/04/2019 - 16:10

        What's a good site for physical prices? Been using dekudeals, found some good deals but it's not always completely up to date :/

        Or just any site that shows the best price whether physical or digital

        • mingofmongo on 12/04/2019 - 21:08

          Canspend.com is brilliant as it tracks Australian physical and digital prices

  • Mr Lister on 12/04/2019 - 07:29

    Monster Hunter is probably the best discount there; it's slightly cheaper than Amazon's price for it.
    Got a JB gift voucher I'd like to use for it but you can't buy them online which sucks.

  • Lockdude on 12/04/2019 - 08:06

    Starlink Deluxe edition is a great price, and something you can't get elsewhere. $60 for what is the complete game is an awesome price. Might trade my physical copy into EB Games to take advantage of this.

    Also Overcooked 2 is a great price. Love the first one so finally bit the bullet. They seem to place this game on a 30% off sale every two months, so if you miss this, just wait till June - when I'm sure they'll pass it off as an end of financial year sale.

    • Linkwick on 12/04/2019 - 12:10

      re. Starlink - agreed!! The digital versions have a ton of DLC, saving you from buying all those toys.

      Including Switch-exclusive Starfox:
      * "Standard" digital includes 5 ships, 7 pilots 12 weapons
      * "Deluxe" has +1 ship, +3 pilots & +3 weapons (so 6 ships, 10 pilots & 15 weapons)
