Aussie Nintendo Download Updates (25/8) – Story Mode
It’s weird, seeing one console get a ton of new stuff, while two others get next to nothing, or just plain nothing. But for Switch owners, there’s nothing to complain about! Four new games for download, as well as a Pokken demo. And of course, don’t forget about the next ARMS Global Testpunch this weekend, available to download ahead of the starting times! It’s not all good news though, as Australia still doesn’t have PayPal for the eShop, while the rest of the world does. Hopefully soon!
The Jackbox Party Packs 1 and 2 are 20% off, with a catch- only if you own The Jackbox Party Pack 3! Astro Duel Deluxe also has a discount until Sunday, which is worth a look if you’re after more Switch party games!
The other thing worth mentioning, is the original three Pokemon Game Boy titles (Red, Blue and Yellow versions) are on sale! 20% off, but if you have a Nintendo Account, 36% off! And really, who doesn’t have a Nintendo Account by now? If the answer is you, click here to get started!

That was incredibly lucky for me then. I caved in and finally bought all 3 Jackbox Party Packs. I’d bought the third one and kind of resigned myself to probably having to pay full price for the second and skipping the first (unfortunately there is no double or triple pack unlike steam either). However, since I bought the third one I noticed the discount, which means that I was very fortunate that I went in the right order without realising it AND just in time!
Haven’t bought Jack box Party Pack 1 or 2 yet, now it’s a good time to buy, especially 2.
