After somehow being able to source a Nintendo switch [Neon] I needed some games, now most of these games separately are $70+ so to bundle them and have it delivered I thought it was an alright deal!
Alternative to this deal The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild & Mario Kart 8 Deluxe [$124.91 delivered]
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/222496843982
Considering the switch is what 3+ years old now and these games aren't the newest I'd say it's still along way away.. have you seen how much the consoles alone are currently fetching? 🙈
Is it a good deal back to your original question, yes I believe it is. If you recall the days of PlayStation 2 games brand new would easily be $109 as the Norm! I guess times have changed but in the schemes of things newish decent games under $60 are a win in my eyes
FWIW, all three of these games have been under $60 before.
Yes notice the word before? 🤔 I'm talking about current and available deals
if you have a cheaper deal currently, then please post it.
@J6: Sure, next time there is a good sale on Mario Odyssey or Mario Kart, I'll happily post it (if someone else doesn't do it before me).
@J6: And I said when there is a good deal I'll post it. CURRENTLY there is not a good deal on those games, in my opinion - which is exactly what I am saying. Just because it is the current cheapest price does not make it a good deal - but if you want to pay this price for these three games, then go for it! Enjoy. :)
@caprimulgus: i don't think you understand that everyone is referring to the current climate. for the current situation, the prices are great. what use is a good deal in the future if we're in the current?
@[Deactivated]: I understand; I just don't agree. (Not sure why this is so hard for everyone else to understand, but whatevs!)
If you think this is a great deal, then go for your life! I don't think it is. Each to their own.
If there was a deal I thought was good, then I would post it. There isn't a deal on these games that I think is good, so I haven't posted (what doesn't exist). That doesn't mean that I think this is a good deal. I never said this wasn't the cheapest available price available currently. It is. I just said that I don't think the current prices are a good deal. Understand?
As I said below, I suggest that people wait on a sale for Mario Odyssey and Mario Kart. That is my recommendation, take it or leave it. If you prefer this deal, then buy it!
@caprimulgus: Well with that thinking why not wait 5 more years when the next Nintendo console is out and these game are going for peanuts? Some people…
@smartazz104: …or just wait a month til the next sale?
Whatever mate, it’s your money…sorry for trying to be helpful!
@[Deactivated]: Why, because a bunch of idiots are negging me? lol
If I have saved one person from buying Mario Party, then my job here is done! :)
Resale value of ANY game with the word 'Mario' in it.
I Woudl be careful of these games too as they don’t show if it is AUS or EUR carriages
It's gamersmen a retailer in Australia.. you'll be fine
Is there an issue with EUR carts?
I've gotten a few that I've received from EB/Amazon when i purchased the game day 1.
Most of the cartridges are EUR in Australia, there would be no need to make specific AUS ones unless the game was censored differently in Australia
Pretty sure the switch is region free anyway.
They still have actual brick and mortar stores/museums.
In my opinion, you'd be better off buying Mario Odyssey and Mario Kart separately (~$50-$55 each on sale). Personally, Mario Party is the only game I regret buying, YMMV.
This deal makes the games around $58 each so id say that's the sale price right now, Mario party if you don't like it could sell back if you wanted.
Wait so you comparing digital to physical copies? 🙈 Looks like you got more negs out of this mate 🤣
Wait so you comparing digital to physical copies?
Both physical and digital have been cheaper. (The three links I posted were all physical)
Looks like you got more negs out of this mate
All good! I still think the deal you posted is bad. Let's agree to disagree. :)
Wow really? Mario party is the best game for up to 4 players at home! Love it
Yes really. But if you enjoy it, then that's all that matters! :)
I would suggest the following 4+ player games (depending on what sort of games you're after):
-Overcooked 1 & 2
-Towerfall
-Killer Queen Black
-Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime
-Puyo Puyo Tetris
-Tumblestone
-Death Squared
-Diablo 3
-Rayman Legends
-Ultimate Chicken Horse
-Duck Game
-Mario Kart
Personally, I think all of those are better than Mario Party! :)
Wow, thanks for this list of recommendations! Mario Party was a disappointment for me too, which is a shame as I really thought I'd enjoy it.
I love Overcooked, Death Squared, and Mario Kart.
Huge recommendations on Overcooked and UCH. UCH gets requested every time I bring the switch somewhere
Puyo Puyo Tetris is the cocaine of puzzle games. Even if the hardcore argue over it being unbalanced. As long as you loved the original Mario Party and understand that it’s like a board game in digital format you’ll love it. Great for kids.
Hey. Switch noob here. It's seems like Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is, like, impossible to get these days? Or do I just not know what I'm doing? thanks
@wombat81: You mean the physical release? The physical release was a limited run (Super Rare Games, I believe), so yeah, will probably be hard to find.
Digital is available here:
https://ec.nintendo.com/AU/en/titles/70010000001375
Would like to add
Nine Parchments to this list.
Basically a diablo lite and great drop in an out for short plays.
honourable mentions to
Mario & Sonic a the Olympics as a better executed mario party.
and
Mario Tennis Aces. Just tennis but super easy to learn hard to master.
what are the differences and if it worth getting both?
Mainly the exclusive legenndary pokemon, and other exclusive pokemon between the two editions, and different gym leaders.
https://www.ign.com/wikis/pokemon-sword-shield/Pokemon_Sword…
You don't really need both, because you can trade to get the exclusives. I would just pick the version with the exclusives that you prefer.
Thanks. Kids already have Sword so I guess not necessary to get shield for them.
I should this was a switch console bundle and almost had a stroke
Haha sorry mate ! If you look at my post revisions the first post title started with Nintendo switch, I removed it immediately as I knew it would cause confusion, good luck hunting down a switch console if that's what your trying
Edit: actually I can now see a mod has changed my title for the deal by adding [Switch] is this what is causing the confusion?
Too expensive, you are paying 88 dollars each for Mario Odyssey and Mario Kart
No your not ? This deal makes each game $58.92 delivered.. must be to early for you 🤠the deal is for 3 games not 2
it was supposed to be a joke
but joke aside, if you want to go through the hassle of selling super mario party (will be no where near the ideal 58 dollars), you are better off spending the time looking for cheap copies of the other two games.
You missed the + Super Mario Party as well
Don't worry i thought it was a good joke
Nice one! There's also The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild & Mario Kart 8 Deluxe:
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/The-Legend-of-Zelda-Breath-of-th…
Good deal OP. There will also be those who will argue the deal is not good, because there have been lower prices historically (I hate paying a dollar more than I have to, do I do understand), but that doesn’t mean this isn’t a good deal, especially given the current circumstances where there is limited availability of some game titles.
Really liked Super Mario Odyssey
Just received the worst email ever.. I'll go cry in my corner now.. I no longer have a switch console coming :(
Unfortunately, your order has been cancelled.
Your order has been cancelled due to insufficient stock.
The payment of $469.00 taken for Order # is in the process of being returned to you. Please allow up to seven business days for this process to be finalised.
Would be nice if they'd give you a store credit as apology. I hate it when stores can't keep their website and stock levels in sync.
As luck would have it in my world, I hunted on Facebook Market place and found someone who had listed a Neon Console within 1minute, with The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild near new condition $500 flat! So I pick it up tomorrow morning they only live nearby too!
Nice when these things work out!
@Quantumcat: Even nicer to know the seller needs the cash to pay rent due to less work! So I feel kinda good buying second hand!
which store did you buy it from?
I would buy a switch for one game, Pilotwings…
I remember finishing Pilotwings 64 and then just cruising around the island for hours, landing in random places and exploring…
Consider getting a 3DS and Pilotwings Resort, it's pretty good.
Yeah, I did have that on day 1 of release. I enjoyed it :)
Your forgetting Metroid??
Nah, the only reason worth getting a switch is for the Star Wars Pinball game.
Yeah, good deal if you want them now, but it's JUST a deal.
Only good if you want all three of those games. Now I just hunt down secondhand games on FB and Gumtree
Wow I bought my switch during the Amazon bargain basement sale last year and now I feel like it’s a stock market investment as it’s gone up so my on the second hand market.
No deal here… eshop is doing promotion…
What deal is that? Also this is for a physical copy not a digital one ,
On the Australian eshop or the US / EUR?
Thanks brother (sister) Gomo for the console deal of BW. Got it yesterday…
As for this deal, why people keep comparing digital copy to physical copy (o・・o)/
Can someone enlight me on used games market? I look at ebay and people push bid to over $50 for a used game? EB selling Pre owned copies for over $70? Buy now option on ebay are all over $50 used? If these observations are true, I can't see how this is not a deal unless yo don't want all three of these.
No worries mate, I guess everyone has different choices when it comes to buying stuff , either all today my order finally arrived !
Pretty odd tho that both my Odyssey and Mario party weren't in wrapped plastic yet my my Mario kart8 was , not saying it isn't new but usually they are all sealed wrapped
![[Switch] Super Mario Odyssey with Super Mario Party & Mario Kart 8 Deluxe $176.76 Delivered @ The Gamesmen eBay](https://files.ozbargain.com.au/n/62/530462.jpg?h=7336adbb)
is it that great a deal though?
you would have to want all three and sone of these are slowly descending into the occasionally slightly discounted category
