Few discounts on Pinball Fx3 tables for the Switch at the moment. Just picked up the Universal Classics one for £4.

(Jaws, ET and BTTF I think)

Borderlands Legendary Collection (1, 2, pre-sequel and DLC) is £21.99 on Switch, which is a bit of a bargain for 3 games.

NeoCab is currently £3.59 (80% off) on Switch. Had this on my wishlist since it came out, and have now added it to the huge backlog of Switch semi-visual novel games I seem to keep buying and never get round to playing.

That the one on Apple Arcade too?. Enjoyed that and it isn't overly long.

Yeah that's right. When it came out I was a bit loathe to pay £17 or whatever for the Switch version when it was 'free' on iOS, so this is a perfect price to try it out.

(I realise I sound like a dick saying that, it's really not a case of me not valuing games or thinking £17 is too much for a game - it's literally down to personal finances!)

Microsoft Studios is having a sale, which means I bought Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition. This might be the 4th time I've bought that game?

WRC 9 is currently £3.19 on Xbox, that's the latest WRC game and even though WRC 10 is coming out in September which is still a while away so that is a great price. I think it's a pricing error as the RRP is listed as £7.99 which seems far too low for a newish game which should be RRP £49.99. I have managed to buy it and install it on my Xbox, hopefully Xbox won't notice.

Epic are doing their summer sale again where they give you £10 the price any game over £13.99, those in the sale and out of it. Then they give you another £10 voucher if you buy something. I picked up Metro Exodus (which last week had a next gen patch) for £3.99.

The new F2P online client came out everywhere yesterday, which is free to download but has an £8 or £9 premium pack, plus MTX for in-game currency and associated cosmetics.

The retail SKU Super Bomberman R (which is a separate though related client and includes some single player content) is still £30/£35 I think though...

I don't know if owners of Super Bomberman R can play against people with the F2P client - if anyone can find out please let us know - but my hunch is that they are likely completely separate.

oh really? dang.
still pretty cool though, at the very least it will let me give the game a try before seeing if i want to pick up the real deal. I don't think I've played a bomberman game in over a decade.

You'd have to imagine that the newer, F2P version will be much more popular online than the older version. It also supports cross-platform play, which is cool!

Man, so this is the opposite of a bargain, but I recently thought I'd like to play LA Noire again so looked to pick it up on Switch. It's £80 on Amazon!? I didn't realise it was a 'rare' game...?
