Thanks to the $20 off deal for purchases over $100, there's a great price on Donkey Kong Bananza (and Baby Shark Beverage Napkins).

Note: I thought the deal was for $100 purchases, but it wasn't counting when I added a $1 Big W bag. I thought this could be because it was a bag, but decided to just go 5c over and save the hassle.

EDIT: Game over! Looks like Big W updated the code to comply with the rules they set out. No preorders (Bananza) and no clearance items (Baby Shark Napkins). It was fun while it lasted. Congrats to those who got the deal!

    Thanks! I thought it was one per account but I have done this twice now :/

      Interesting. For me it says "Code has already been used". So I wonder how you managed it!

      • +4

        No idea?? All I know is I have paid $90 for MKW and $80 for DK. Don't know why I got negged for exploiting a bargain which is basically one of the pillars of this website….oh well :p

    I like to imagine the analytics team at Big W HQ, going crazy trying to figure out why there's such a sudden demand for Baby Shark Napkins (and subsequently ordering 5x more than forecasted)

    • +2

      That's when you swoop in later and buy the excess stock for a song.

      • +2

        Gonna be a big fish in a baby shark pond

        for a song.

      I'm pretty sure Big W ships in stock items straight away too. So I'm equally fascinated by the warehouse people who will be wondering why they have so many orders for a single pack of baby shark beverage napkins.

      • +7

        Yeah I already got a tracking number for my napkins. Can't wait. Donkey Kong is just a bonus.

        • +1

          And those napkins have excellent resale value, so double win!

    The reviews for this unreleased game are great. 5/5 stars according to a review on Big W.

    ive been looking everywhere for a deal that will help me save on baby shark napkins
    thanks so much :)

    Generally, in my experience Big W is probably the best place to buy Switch games on special or at a new low price, depending who publishes the game.

    13 Sentinals Aegis Rim at $24.00 retail is a prime example.

  • This seems to be applied for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Nintendo Switch 2 too.
    Should I buy the Switch 1 game + upgrade pack instead?

    • +2

      Based on the US pricing (10USD), upgrade prices in Australia will be roughly 15AUD (though local price has not been confirmed). The upgrades are also free if you have NSO. So that doesn't directly answer your question, but it might give you enough info to make a decision.

      • I don't remember the source but I think Japan was 1000 yen which would be $10 for us if we go off their pricing. And besides, it's probably easier and cheaper finding a second hand copy of BoTW and getting the expansion than a new copy of BoTW - NS2.

      • I ordered the switch 2 and new to this ecosystem. I don't think I'll buy NSO anytime soon since I rarely use my PS plus extra & gamepass.
        But I think I would go with the switch 2 version as it comes with the game card right?

        • +1

          If you don't mind the price and want it all in one, get the NS2 version. If you want it cheap, get a second hand copy of BoTW from eBay or something and buy the expansion pass. In the end it's up to how you would like it.

          • @WinterStar: Thanks @WinterStar, but nvm, the code does not work for pre-order product xD

            • @whozmr: Interesting, it was working for others last night. Maybe Big W noticed and fixed it?

  • Awesome thankyou, The one game i wanted too haha

  • +2

    Am I missing something but code doesn't work

    Code is valid from 14/03/2025 to 17/04/2025

    I thought that's today?

    Also wondering if the code excludes preorder games per the original post.

    • seconding this - I can't get it to work.

    • This just happened, I think they flicked it off, probably fixing the categories it can be used on.

    • Code is valid from 14/03/2025 to 17/04/2025

      Not sure where you got that from, here's the text from the Big W offer page
      Offer begins 14 April 2025 at 12:01am (AEST), and ends 31 May 2025 at 11:59pm (AEST).

      Also wondering if the code excludes preorder games per the original post.

      Yes, the page says that

      The following product exclusions apply:

      • All Apple Products
      • Gaming Consoles
      • Pre-Order Products
      • Clearance
      • Gift Cards

      But no, that doesn't seem to be applying in practice on the Nintendo switch stuff. Even the Switch Console is working. So not sure what's going on there! And I'll not the baby shark napkins are on clearance, and was allowed!

      • Tried it with a few different Switch games/accessories and got blocked :( Looks like they've plugged it.

        • Oh no! That's disappointing :( I wonder if they keep an eye on ozbargain…..

  • Code was working, I purchased $100 gift card, I go back to checkout, code stops working.

    Awesome.

  • The following product exclusions apply:

    • All Apple Products
    • Gaming Consoles
    • Pre-Order Products <—- not working then
    • Clearance
    • Gift Cards
    • I'll update the main post to clarify - but yes it says this. But yet, the code applies at checkout

    • +1

      Ah, seems they've updated so these no longer qualify. Well, it was fun while it lasted!

  • codes not working

    • Yep, expired now unfortunately. They updated the way the coupon works to exclude preorders and clearance items (which it was meant to in the first place, but wasn't in practice).

  • +2

    Thanks. I managed to preorder donkey kong and a pro controller before they stopped it.

  • +1

    It's $4.55 more for those who still want it ($84.55 when using everydayrewards discount + 5% discount GC)

  • Worked for me, although I did it an hour ago, so must have gotten lucky

  • +5

    Hello, I'm here to collect my Baby Shark napkins and Donkey Kong for Nintendo Switch 2

  • +1

    Thanks, I was lucky enough to get the deal and now I have a chocoate bar being delivered 😂

  • Damn miss the boat

  • Hope my order doesn't get cancelled 🙏

    • Can you let us know? Great deal, good luck

      • I got a shipping label from aus post for the first 2 items ($1-2 items), so not really sure they can cancel the entire order at this point

  • +2

    I felt so jaded by the Switch 2 Direct, but by now I've hyped myself up so much that all I can think about is Donkey Kong Bananza and holding my Switch 2.

  • +3

    All good, there will be way more deals on this game in the future.
