Nintendo games/consoles bargain alert thread

thehappyworm

Eesh. Apologies for getting your hopes up if I'm wrong.

On the other hand, if that Amazon blurb is in error, and Batman 2 is missing from the package you receive, I think it'd be reasonable to get on to customer service and request they send it anyway.

Edit: Just noticed that the product description also talks about Nintendoland being part of the package. Getting a bit silly now. I'm starting to think that if I look long enough I'll see they're also including Monster Hunter 4, GTA V Wii U, and a special edition of The Wind Waker that includes all those missing dungeons.

Not really a big bargain but a few quid off.

If like me you dont need this until xmas day as god knows how long it'll take them to send it...

Must resist Deus Ex.... Already own on 360!!

Banjo

Deus Ex dropped to 19.99 from 21ish in the last hour or so, so it's probably going to go to 14.99, as is Batman. Hurray!

murphyebass

I know I just said my wii u spend was over buuut and it'll be a controversial one but I'd like to get Sonic lost world but I dont wanna pay full price for it.

Any chance it'll come up? anyone heard any rumours?

Banjo

Haven't seen anything, but hold on till after christmas, it'll drop like a stone. No one likes it, everyone loves it's direct competitor which is out tomorrow and it was a high-profile title, bound to be plenty of them in the Amazon warehouse that need shifting. Lego and Rayman will keep you going, don't worry. Step away from the "compuper". (Gotta love Frank Honey's dialogue )

ah I know your right but I like sonic at xmas.

but yes again I know your right.

Personally I dont think it looks as bad as the reviews its getting.

Anyway I'll wait for now on it.

Hi there. Theres an amazon offer tomorrow for a Wii U Premium. At the moment when i click on it its £230 and at the top just below the title theres the "Nintendo Wii U Bundle" offer. Clicking this you can pick 2 games for free with it from a list. Will this be available with the offer tomorrow or is it a separate offer with just Nintendoland free tomorrow?

Also, I havent been following the reductions. Can anyone guess a price drop?

CastorTroy

Well today's bundle went from 239.99 down to 199.99. So probably go down to between that and 189.99. Today's didn't go too quick. I don't think you'd be able to add the 2 games

Corholio

Batman: Arkham Origins £19.99

Wii U amazon now £179. you get the two games. came to 225 euro for rayman, zombiu and nintendoland

CastorTroy

Great price.

I see 2 3DS XLs on offer today

AlanS181824

Some great prices on Amazon alright.

Banjo

Deus Ex bumped down to 12:15 with WiiU Just Dance, at 2:15pm the MarioKart 3DS XL also popping up. Splinter Cell Blacklist is on for 4:15pm.

Remember kids, the 3DS X: that comes with Super Mario 3D Land is not worth getting - it's the same colour as the Mario Kart one, and you can claim a free copy of Super Mario 3D Land when you register Mariokart and the 3DS XL. Unless you want a spare download code for a friend?

Edit : Gamestop are tweeting their black friday deals. First one was headsets, second one was XBox games, 3rd was PS4 games. 3DS or WiiU should be next in line, but you just know they'll skip us and go to Vita or PC.... I wonder if Simon Schama would be interested in doing a 4 part series on the persecution Nintendo fans have suffered down the years?

sweetie

Went online at 9.10 to check for lego batman wii u (it was vita!) and saw the other wii u bundle. managed to get it and ordered even though my order from yesterday was dispatching but a quick phonecall with customer services means I'm getting a wii u and 3 games for 25 euro less.

Banjo

Zavvi have the following in their Black Friday sale :
Wind Waker HD - £29.99 / €37.19
Epic Mickey Power of 2 - £12.98 / €16.15 (also 2 for £25)
James Bond Legends - £8.99 / €11.15
Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed - £21.98 / €37.19 (cheaper on amazon I think)
Just Dance 2014 - £29.98 / €27.29 (Amazon lightning deal coming up at lunch time though)

CastorTroy

i'm thinking I'll pass on Deus ex since have it on PS+, but if Splinter Cell is £10 or less I may get it.

Too bad you can't pay and build items up over the day since I'm looking at Puppeteer on PS3 as well. So if could put them together it would cover the free delivery.

As for us Nintendo fans being persecuted, it seems we now fall below PC gamers in how people just don't get us.

sweetie

Any recommendations for a cheap (but good) case/cover for the wii u controlpad. Preferably on amazon so I can possibly order with something for free delivery? thanks

MoogPoo

Yeah I want the free shipping. Any recommendations for a good cheap game with Deus Ex? Was thinking Arkham City...

Banjo

Arkham City is great. Alas, it's the only one of the games I'm going to mention that I've personally played
Assassin's creed 3 is apparently good and is about £13 on Amazon right now
There's at least one seller doing Sonic Racing for around £16 or £17, that's also apparently quite good.

Looks like Gamestop have skipped both Nintendo platforms and jumped to PS4 pre-orders
And then straight back to Headphones, where it all began. Oh, the humanity!

Amazon Deals :
Just Dance 2014 £14.99
Deus Ex £13.99

Just Dance all sold on Wii U but not Kinect? Wonder if any of the Wii U buyers thought they were buying for Wii.
