      • The way I see it is, if the game is fun for replays, I would've replayed it as an adult already. I bought megaman Zero collection day 1 because I played that soooo many times. It's a game series that keeps on giving.

        Some games are better left as one time experiences, or simply not as fun as an adult, but it's hard to tell without playing again.

        • +1

          I think there are so many games now that overplay their hand on the first run through that the amount we replay and replay will dwindle.

          Like Ghost of Tsushima was an great 25+ hour game, but could have been a mind blowing 10 hour game. They burn you out on their mechanics before time is up.

          I'm just glad Nintendo and Sony are still banging out excellent single player games. Couldn't hate anything more than 'games as a service'.

  • Thanks OP.

  • Thanks, bought 2 so that I can re-sell after stock runs out…..
    Nah but seriously, bought one for me and one for my brother. Appreciate you posting this deal, so happy that I can support an aussie business and still save $/

  • Is this the game that Nintendo is touting as a limited release?

  • Are we able to cancel the eBay order easily?

    • Have to message the seller, usually its easy.

  • Does anyone know where I could buy the Mario Game & Watch at RRP without paying crazy $$$ to the scalpers on eBay and Scumtree? Badly wanted one due the Nostalgia factor alone but missed out. Yes I know I can use emulators, etc. and I'm aware even at $80 it is a ripoff but I just want the real thing!

    • +3

      Just be patient. There should be more batches available to preorder later. At this moment, first batch should be sold out all over Oz.

    • I saw that, wow, $220 bidding at the moment on eBay where there initial pre-order runs on Amazon only retailing $60!

      • Yes it's unbelievable, the same nes snes classic saga all over again. I've checked all usual outlets but sold out everywhere. I'm hoping they would have more production runs or the shops including Target and BigW would have physical stock on launch day. This being Nintendo I would not be surprised if we'd have plenty of stock to buy over the counter on and after launch.

    • +1

      Preorder bigw site

      • Nice find - Thank you both. Just got one.

  • +1

    Thanks OP. Been dancing around the idea of ordering this. The fear of a limited run combined with seeing this price has tipped me over the edge lol.

    • +2

      Haha welcome to the club mate

  • Will this work on a Switch Lite?

    • +1

      It's a switch game, so definitely.

    • Works you just use touch screen for the pointer

  • Done, thanks OP!

  • +4

    Best of both worlds, bargain and supporting local!

  • Wow, 339 sold in last hour. How many of them are from Amazon.

  • this is a bit unrelated but would love some help, do you know if the game and watches will be available on the day of release or is it strictly a preorder?? miss out and really need one, thank you

    • +1

      No ones knows, but given the experience Nintendo had with the NES/SNES Classic I would be very surprised if there aren't a few more chances to buy it.

      • +1

        What do you mean? They did heaps of runs on that thing. It was limited to the demand in the end.

        • More shipments, unless they have serious manufacturing issues I expect pre-order restocks and more availability after release.

      • okay cool thats what im hoping, thank you for your reply

      • apparently i can pre order up to 23 of them lol

        • I went up to 28!

      • damnn missed out again really cant believe the luck im having with this thing grrr thanks anyways

  • Thanks a lot OP, no really, i needed to buy yet more games today :P

  • wonder how many they will actually get? how many copies of a switch game are in a box?

  • Should I buy this, or is a nostalgia trip just not worth it, as per usual?

    • +3

      These games are absolute classics imo.

      Someone ported Mario 64 to the 3DS so I've been playing that lately, and feels every bit as fun as it used to, instead of just playing for 10 minutes and getting bored.

      • +1

        Nintendo already ported Mario 64 to the DS lol

        • +3

          And it's a bit crap since you have to use the dpad

          • @Merlict: It was fine

            • @Circly: I think it lost an awful lot by having only 8 points of movement vs the analog of the original. It was pretty jarring when playing on a 3DS which had analog controls but that would translate into what the DS supported.

        • +1

          They remade it into Mario 64 DS, yes.

          But I mean the original game, just a straight port with widescreen support on the 3DS.

          I tried playing the DS version, couldn't get used to the controls and the physics didn't feel as tight.

    • If you haven't played Sunshine or Galaxy they're definitely worth it

  • Ordered it. Thanks OP.

  • Thanks OP! Just grabbed myself one.

  • +1

    Thanks OP, now i can also suck at mario 64 as an adult :)

  • Ordered even though this is the first time I’m hearing about this release.

    The limited run got me worried and I don’t want to be forced to pay scalper prices when I eventually decide I do want this.

    Thanks OP :)

  • I was tempted to cancel my order from Amazon but after seeing the delivery date could take up to 1-2 weeks longer to arrive from Games than Amazon I think ill pay the extra $6 and go stay with the Amazon order lol

    • +1

      Gamesmen is always on time. The estimated del is just them being cautious for Auspost being slow

      • Which auspost is slow. So chances of a delay are high

      • +1

        My experience is that they are always delayed. Probably depends on location. I’m in Brisbane.

  • Does amazon pre order still have their price protection?

    I was late on the 60, but might cave for $69 and hope it’s adjusted

    • +1

      I think the price protection is only between the time you order and the time its shipped. Otherwise they might as well just keep selling it at the lower price. Happy to be proven wrong though!

  • shipment date Estimated between Thu. 24 Sep. and Fri. 2 Oct.

  • +2

    Super Mario 64 and SMB3 are the best Mario games ever

    Fight me

  • Woahhh the nostalgia is strong!!

    I saw the trailer on Youtube - looks good but……. will there be an option to play the games in widescreen 16:9 resolution of the switch?

    The trailer shows 4:3 for Mario 64 and Sunshine :(

    • No widescreen

    • 64 yes. sunshine is widescreen

  • +1

    More than 10 available / 994 sold

    Surprised this deal is still active! that's alot !

    $62,940.08 in sales Mario and Luigi thank you all

    • Nah, Nintendo have low margins, ebay and Paypal have high fees, there are lost items using Australia Post. I'm wondering if they clear $5 per sale.

      • +1

        Agreed, if they had this price on their website I would gladly go through the website instead. eBay/Paypal/postage is expensive.

  • Is this deal only available for eBay plus? Getting a this code cannot be applied error

    • +1

      It worked for me without ebay plus.

  • Are Gamesmen gonna have enough stock?

    • 1,089 sold. It was around 200 earlier this afternoon lol

      • 1422 sold now pretty high!

  • I think every retailer that has these still have pre-orders open, limited release sucks but at least so far there's no indication of it running out any time soon.

    Nintendo would have to be crazy to have no stock around Christmas… fingers crossed.

  • +2

    Brilliant. Thanks. Another Amazon cancel.

    Much prefer to support an Aussie retailer.

  • Is this game limited edition?

    • +1

      It's going to be pumped out till March next year till then no more production nintendo says

  • Take that Amazon, now if you would price match, that would be great!!

  • Is there anything different about these games or are they just a direct port of the originals?

  • If you have a modified switch Mario 64 already has a port running on it that will be better quality than the copy in this release which is a shame. It came from the reverse engineered code and is based on the pc port I believe.

    • Not reverse engineered, but made from scratch

  • i don't have a switch console yet but bought this one :)

  • +3

    Amazon has now matched this price of $63.32. Good news for anyone who pre-ordered on Amazon as their Pre-order Price Guarantee means you'll only pay this price.

  • Just wondering if anyone has successfully pay this using Afterpay?

    • Yes I did worked fine for me

      • That is so weird. My order was approved through afterpay first payment deducted and was then cancelled the next day. Contacted ebay help. They initially said my paypal and card are not verified which is untrue and they follow by saying seller has limitation on their paypal account which again is bs.

        • Bizarre, can you just cancel and re-order to try again?

          • @Gomo: Nah, It was cancelled anyway. It didn’t work either after I re-order. I went to Afterpay they said it was not their decision to cancel it. It was eBay. I went to eBay they have no clue too. Anyway, I was just trying out Afterpay for fun.

  • Mine got shipped! Might actually get it on launch day~

    • Mine too.

      • Mine too. I wonder where it's coming from. I'm in SA.

        • I reckon NSW since they are based there.

          • @spedohero: Didn't arrive for me today I'm Brisbane, however it says it's in transit with expected delivery Monday will wait and see,

    • Mine shipped 16th too, didn't arrive today. Just checked and it's expected for delivery 24th Sept - 2nd October. Looks like I may have forgotten to apply the free express shipping…

      • Same, there was free express delivery?

        • Nah cost an extra $4 or somthing im not to fussed

        • Not sure if it was there at the time, but the page offers it now with ebay plus.

  • Mine was shipped without plastic wrapping and no booklet inside, anyone else the same?

    • +1

      Same, to be fair though, no Switch game I have bought has come with a booklet, but lacking the plastic wrapping maybe is because it's a retail copy that they put on shelves and then put in the game cartridge when you bring to the counter.

    • +2

      When was the last time you received an instruction manual?

      Also Nintendo games in Australia aren't routinely sealed from the factory.

    • Yep same no wrapping and wasn't aware there was any included booklet ?
