The best deals of the week in handheld and mobile - May 8
|

Mobile gaming is pretty much the cheapest form of video gaming around. Still, we all love a good deal.

Each week we cover the best deals in handheld gaming, predominantly covering the latest discounts for iOS and Android gamers.

We also cover a few deals on smartphones themselves, as well as a selection of handheld offers. If it's portable and cheap, we're looking out for it.

Smartphone deals

We'll often recommend Wileyfox's phones in our budget handset roundups. One of the British manufacturer's best phones is currently available for a great price.


Handheld deals

Nintendo has revived its 3DS brand with the New 2DS XL - but don't think that means the great 3DS game deals are starting to dry up. Quite the opposite.


  • Nintendo Selects Paper Mario: Sticker Star on 3DS for £10 (normally £14.99) - buy from Smyths
  • Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan on 3DS for £7.19 with 20 Gold Points (20% off) - buy from Nintendo
