Looks like Amazon Australia is price matching Target. Can be potentially be purchased for as little as $79 if using NAB10 or CARD10 if you have not used those qualifying coupons. APP20 can be used as well for as low as $69 if using the Amazon app assuming you have not used that coupon either.

Alternatively Amazon gift cards might be be able to be purchased to make even cheaper.

    Missed a bunch of sales on this one. Everyone went JB or Officeworks while Target sorted their system out, and now Target has sorted their system out people are doing the + discount for $79. Amazon failed for once

    Been playing the game the last few days, it really does deserve all the credit that its getting. Feels like the spiritual successor to mario odyssey.

    It is simply a must play video game.

      100% agree with you. Really hard to put down once you start playing it; a real joy to play and good challenge.

          I swear to God they have a RNG to just spam a new treasure chest or something just within reach so you go to that thing and then there's something else just writing each and so on until 5 hours later you're going to bed at 3am with work in the morning

          It's an incredible game.

      I played Mario Odyssey on the switch all stars recently and it feels so bad coming from BotW

      I hadn’t played odyssey before it but I prefer the movement of Mario 64 so far.

      Those all take a backseat now that DK is out though

      • Dan83 on 21/07/2025 - 22:53

        You prefer Mario 64 movement!? I didn’t enjoy it because of the movement so stopped playing. Similar with sunshine. Each 3d Mario game has iteratively improved on the movement imo, with odyssey the best. Then Astro bot perfected it lol.

          Nuttys comment is a bit confusing, as they mention Odyssey in the the switch All-Stars, but Odyssey isn't in the 3D All Stars bundle…

            @Wip3out: Sorry, you’re right.

            I was thinking of Super Mario Galaxy. The camera in Galaxy is garbage and the movement isn’t great

              @YoursTruly: So good. Check out the Omega collection on PS4 if you haven't already, looks and plays amazing - the full game is playable in VR also which is mind blowing at first.

                @Wip3out: Played them all across all consoles (except handhelds) - and yes the VR mode of omega is amazing effect.

                However, something about the initial 3 handling and presentation is yet to be beat IMO

                • Wip3out on 22/07/2025 - 12:22

                  @YoursTruly: Yep they are awesome for sure, and crazy how well they hold up, still look great on my little PVM and on the Vita.

            @NuttyGoodness: Yeah man I wish I had a ps5 just to try out astro bot. Unfortunately isnt worth getting just for that game…

          @dan83 if you have a PC or Steam Deck I suggested checking out one of the recompiled projects for SM64. I can't remember exactly which one I played but it ran at 60fps+ and they tightened up the movement.

          • Dan83 on 22/07/2025 - 22:29

            @Slurped: Cool thanks. Hopefully full 3d movement of the right stick too.

    • Ruddaga on 22/07/2025 - 08:23

      I've learned the best way to play it is to just explore and work out where the bananas are hidden naturally… I made the mistake with the first couple of worlds just destroying everything and chests flooding me with map locations… way more fun to just explore the worlds and find it all by yourself. Currently on the resort level and have 100% everything prior.

      • Rigondeaux on 22/07/2025 - 22:14

        Also on the resort level. got tired of smashing through everything. So also just naturally finding bananas :)

        They said happy to credit the $10. Took 5 min on the online chat.

          Yep I just got the same. Told them I didn’t want to waste time returning just to order again. Also said I was disappointed in the price drop just days after. They gave me $15!

                  @ekto: They said the same to me, but "There will be $7 shipping cost to return but as an exception we will refund it once the return completed"

                  Right until the end they kept trying to persuade me it was a refund of 9c, as if somehow tax would apply to my reorder, but they didn't charge it the first time… clearly used to working with an american customer base.

                  Guess we'll see if they actually refund that, or if I'll have to fight for them to refund the shipping fee too…

    • brokeneither on 22/07/2025 - 08:48

      Switch 2, new console, only dropped a month ago. Many were expecting S2 games to abe at least be over $100-$120 due to the US game price increases.

      Switch 1 first party launch games were roughly $79, so $89 is not bad at all for new generation first party launch games.

  • IRON on 21/07/2025 - 22:01

    Great game! Got it at Harvey Norman price matching Target and using gift card I got from the mario kart bundle deal with 10% gift card.

    • A 1 on 21/07/2025 - 22:38

      How did that work? Those gift cards (spend $500+ get 10% back in gift cards) were only valid for 1 month from the date of issue. So they would have expired around 5th July. Were HN actually lenient on the expiry date?

        My one said 2 month expiry but when I tried to use it they said it had already expiried. I showed them the email which mentioned 2 month expiry and they had to reactivate the gift card in order for me to use it.

        • dvsbastard on 22/07/2025 - 08:24

          I am glad you posted this I just tried to use mine and it says expired even though my email says 2 months from issue as well!

        • A 1 on 22/07/2025 - 08:29

          Oh nice one, I had to preorder Bananza otherwise my gift cards would have expired (1 month expiry).

    • DeToxin on 22/07/2025 - 10:54

      Lucky you got yours, I preordered from HN specifically to get those gift cards and on release day the store I was supposed to pick up from had none, and didn't get stock till like a week later.

      MFs knocked my credit score by about 40 points even though I cancelled the line of credit and the order.

      Never again will I shop at Harvey Norman

    • nosey on 22/07/2025 - 08:08

      I tried this about 4 months ago. The employee had never heard of it lol.

      Also my games werent in stock in store and i believe they said they couldn't have them delivered from other stores.

      If it works though, great !

      • Shenannigoat on 22/07/2025 - 16:27

        I did this with Kirby recently having traded it in three years ago. My local store had it in stock but they needed to manually look for the transaction in their system and had trouble seeing it. I ended up showing them the trade-in price from my EB World account on my phone and they put it through as a price match.

        After all that, the Switch 2 version is a paid upgrade and not even out yet. But I'll be ready I guess.

  • RocketToSpace on 22/07/2025 - 02:43

    If you have Prime use APP20 to get it down to $69 with free delivery too. Gotta use the Amazon App.

    I was gonna hold out till next week to get the game but screw it decided to get it now as they'll probably put it back up to $99 by next week.

          Wow nice! Amazon Support is awesome when it comes to stuff like this.

          What's even more awesome is Amazon doesn't price gouge like Coles and Woolworths does. You can find several grocery items on there still being sold 2x/3x cheaper than the prices at Coles and Woolworths for example - 170g bag of doritos on Amazon - $2.80 / Coles/Woolworths same item $5…

    Due to Nintendo only making 64gb carts for Switch 2 we might see a lot more of this.

    Shadow Labyrinth Switch 1.
    Includes a free upgrade to Shadow Labyrinth for Nintendo Switch 2
    The upgrade will allow the game to run at 4K resolution, 60 frames per second on Switch 2. Once the cartridge is in the Switch 2 system, it will download the switch 2 version to be played like a game key card (internet connection required).

    … 11:35PM I got my package from Amazon - 1 hour and 30 minutes AFTER the due time. I only just found out now at the time of me typing this comment. Left a note asking them to knock on my door then leave it at my door… seems the knocking part was ignored. Anyone from 11:35 PM to now could have stolen my package.

    Do better Amazon real pathetic. Should never have gotten rid of Australia Post or StarTrack as delivery couriers.

  • jace88 on 23/07/2025 - 11:14

    I appreciated Amazon refunded the preorder difference, and I also asked for a credit given they only delivered it on Monday (ie. a few days after launch day).
