Nintendo Switch 18-game bundle worth £32 plunges in price – and players say it ‘puts other titles to shame’
AN 18-game bundle for Nintendo Switch has plunged in price, much to the delight of users.
The package has received overwhelmingly positive reviews - but you'll have to get it fast to take advantage of the massive discount.
Switch players can now access some of the best-loved titles from two series of cult classic games.
Some of the earlier offerings from a pair of long-running beat 'em up franchises - Double Dragon and Kunio-Kun.
The bundle includes the first three Double Dragon instalments, dating all the way back to 1988.
There are then a further 15 entries from the Kunio-Kun series and its related spin-offs.

This includes everything from straightforward street fighter games to dodgeball, football and ice hockey-based variants.
Gamers will, in most cases, be able to choose between the "original" and "quality up" versions of each game.
As the names suggest, the former presents the games exactly as they were in the '80s and '90s, while the latter features improvements to graphics and gameplay to make them more palatable for the modern audience.
The "quality up" offerings have also seen online multiplayer and new screen and sound options added as a bonus.
