Switch

Update (12/3): A number of these games have now “sold out,” but a few titles like New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe and Super Neptunia RPG are even lower than what we listed yesterday.


Original (12/2): A slew of games have been given pre-order discounts over on Amazon. Bayonetta 3, New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, Tales of Vesperia, and Final Fantasy are among the eligible titles.

Below are some of the highlights:

Much like what has recently been sold in North America, Nintendo is now selling a Switch bundle featuring Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in Europe. It includes the console, Neon Red/Neon Blue controllers, and a free full game download code for the game.

Various retailers are selling the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Switch bundle, including the Nintendo UK store. It can be purchased there for £279.99, a saving of £49.99 if purchased separately.

Square Enix has updated the official Japanese website of Dragon Quest Builders 2 with some information on the game’s Endless Battle Island setting; we’ve rounded up the details below (credit goes to Gematsu for the translation):

In Dragon Quest Builders 2, the residents of the island will actually help you build certain structures. All you need to do is make the blueprint and put the necessary materials for the structure in the storage chest. The residents will then proceed to build that structure according to the blueprint using materials from the storage chest.

Other than castles, you can also build magical weapons that can be used in the fight against the Hargon Order. Weapons include the Zap Barrier, which prevents enemies from advancing, the Sizz Tile, a trap that creates a pillar of flame when enemies step onto it, and the Woosh Vacuum, which attacks enemies with a huge tornado.

Enemies aren’t the only obstacle you’ll come across in your travels – you will also have to navigate difficult terrain. This includes underwater caves, strong storms and blizzards.

During a recent episode of the Game Informer Show, Toys For Bob producer Peter Kavic and art director Josh Nadelberg participated in an interview for Spyro Reignited Trilogy. The two were asked if it’ll be appearing on other systems, to which Kavic said the team’s “focus was on PS4 and Xbox One.” When specifically asked about Switch and if it could run on the platform, Kavic indicated that he’s “yet to even see it tried.”
