Pre order on Amazon now down to £41.99. Not showing the usual Prime discount yet but that would bring it under £40 if it applies. Release date set for 1st December 2017, really looking forward to this one! Edit: Prime preorder now working, down to £39.99 with Prime
Aah where are the console bundles or special edition console haha. I want to buy my Switch and this game in a bundle. I've always said the moment this is released I buy a switch!
Does anyone else find the combat animation odd though, I am sure there is a reason for it but it feels like it's moving in super slow mode!
Maybe when we play it, it will feel fast. I know the original had a cool effect like it but in this one it feels too slow. Hoping that's not the case.

I was reading a hands on preview that said the combat required monitoring a few different parts of the system. Maybe that's why it seems slow to watch but might feel more frantic to play?
Either way I'm really looking forward to this. The excellent combat in Xenoblade Chronicles X ruined Final Fantasy 15 for me. It made FF's party based combat seem super shallow from my point of view

Yeh I am sure there will be a reason for it! I have faith in them. I was so excited for Xenoblade X, bought a Wii U 2 years early thinking it was coming out sooner than it did lol. Got X and I actually didn't like it :disappointed:
The combat and graphics are cool but it felt nothing like the first game, i.e story / characters which the first had, plus the awesome combat. So to go into X and see it was not a gripping story or anything magical, was a big downer for me. It just didn't have the magic feeling that the first had. For me anyways.
But this new one seems to, I dnt like the art style so much on the characters but I am getting over it the more I see it and I can put graphics aside so that is ok. Game looks marvelous. Can't wait for it!

Is this a really good price to place the pre-order even without the Prime discount?
voyager123 to Asunai
15 Sep 17#12
yes because its a SWITCH game they really seem to dropped a lot below £40

I managed to get a few recent titles for below 40 (Mario + Rabbits, Splatoon 2 etc.) for my new Switch. But I noticed the price doesn't drop much usually on them.
So ordered, shall see if there will be any chance for further drop later.
Looks like an awful design to me and for kids and fans only.

aghh I want a Skyrim pre order less than £59.99 :disappointed:

Because the game is so big then the cart will cost alot more hence the increase on price!!

15 Sep 17#15
didn't think about that but the old 360 version cant have been that big to fit on a standard DVD so I'm sure they could squeeze it to an affordable size.

I think that might of been upscaled from 720 but this runs at full 1080 might be wrong, but still dvd are far cheaper than carts!! Bad move for Nintendo but can see why they did it

Skyrim is now £44 from a RRP of £49.99 at Base so the increased price of memory isn't the reason, £59.99 must just be a place holder

paulj48 to voyager123
15 Sep 17#23

voyager123 to paulj48
15 Sep 17#24

We all thought that until Nintendo announced the official release date during the week. Looks mostly done with English audio. Must of been working on this way over 2 years.

That's my initial thought to be honest but I made the preorder as it seems a decent price. It's been £60 or so on Amazon as a preorder prior to the release date announcement this week.
It's also worth noting that Amazon don't have a release date set yet. Hopefully once that is locked in the Prime discount will be added. Sub £40 for this should be a good deal.
