Ten Games Discounted in European eShop Sale

... and we just get a sale on SML!? >:[ Hope we get something equal announced soon. Great for you guys though!

I knew sales would start as soon as I bought Dillon's... I bought it a week after E3... Blast. My total savings would have been enough to get Link's Awakening...

Hopefully they bring this to America too, even if I already spent all my eshop credit...

Oh man I own all of them except for Fun Fun Touch Golf and Dillon's Rolling Western. Also I'm broke!

I have some of those games already but I think I'll get Zen Pinball and Rolling Western now that they are cheaper.

Kingdom Hearts and Theatrhythm downloads available now, you say.
Downloading...now!

Nintendo discounting things? LOL GOOD ONE!!!

I'll pick up Mighty Switch Force when it's on sale.

I'm pretty annoyed. Why? I have all those games already! >
And I am really angry about it!!!!!

But, I guess you should all go and grab a bargain! That olympic app sounds pretty cool, a great way to get everyone in the olympic spirit!

Already doWnloaded all of them. Do I get some kind of re-imbursement for price drop? No? Demos are a welcome announcement

The original, faithful consumers treated appalingly by Nintendo again.

Ah, why can't North America get this many sales? The only one we get is for a game I already have.

This makes Reggie seems like a cheapskate.

@LEGEND_MARIOID Buy something in any shop whatsoever and see if you get the difference reimbursed when it drops in price

Oh my god thank you Nintendo you make me so happy this week!

Well, because I'm amazing I already own 6 of these 10 games. That leaves Minigolf Touch and Lets Golf which I still wont buy Nintendo (garbage), Mighty Switch Force and Zen Pinball. So I suppose I'll be getting one of those. :3

Already own the majority of those, but may get one of the golf games.

Zen Pinball 3D would by my favourite from that selection. So addictive!

Perhaps it's time to pick up some of these titles now. But wait, the discount are for all European countries, right? Not just those with Euro as currency?

If only I didn't have most of these games anyway...

Own 7/10 of them already. At least I can get Dillon's Rolling Western now, I was put off by the high price.

This is great news, was on the fence for Mighty Switch Force but I'll certainly get it at the reduced price now

@James - I understand that but you know as well as I do the eShop is most likely massively over-priced in the first place. Nintendo KNOW that and that's why they're offering these "discounts". In fact they KNEW that. They should have been priced like this before, maybe even less. To be fair Nintendo have "re-imbursed" Nintendo customers before with the 20 free GBA downloads and the free NES game on wiiware when the web browser price was reduced from 500 points to zero. They should do that now, because of this "over-price" issue imho

I may buy something if I find a Card but there don't seem to be available...

Taking the opportunity to get Super Mario Land and Dillon's Rolling Western while they're on offer. Maybe even Mighty Switch Force! as well.

@LEGEND_MARIOID
You bought it at the old price because you thought it was worth your money, right? It wasn't overpriced for you. Sales are great for bringing in people who don't value the games as highly as you. It's fair as fair can be. If you thought it was overpriced, you shouldn't have bought it. Right?

@LEGEND_MARIOID by offering discounts Nintendo are doing what every other company has done for decades. I think Babybells are overpriced. I didn't feel like Tesco needed to reimburse me when they had them on offer for two weeks. Chill out.

@LEGEND_MARIOID I see what you're saying but that's crazy logic. Also the 3DS price drop knocked about £50-70 off the console's price — here we're talking pounds! Just enjoy what you have and think how lucky you are!

How come we only get 1 sale game? If we got the same deal as in Europe, there would be a couple of titles I would download. I already have SMB.

The funny thing here is that while discounted they're still more expensive than the default US store prices. I might get a couple, but not any GB. I tried that Myths and Monsters game i got from a free code and it was terrible. Blurry with no colour option (or any options for that matter)... i can't believe people would pay for this.

Them demos.
OMG

Wait, a sale? On a Nintendo platform? This means that I'm finally gonna buy Pullblox and Mighty Switch Force!

@Stine Good! Mighty Switch Force is debatable, but Pullblox was well worth its original price - there's a huge amount of content in that game! They are both well worth £4.30 though and anyone who does not have any of the games on this list should download them right away! (other than Fun! Fun! Minigolf TOUCH. Don't buy that)

@James Actually James you can do that here in the states. If bought from the same store and at anytime I. The next month it goes on sale you can take back your receipt for a refund of the difference.

Majority of the 3DSware games are kind of worth getting because they are good games and made with effort and care. I'd pay out for them to buy the games, support the service andkind of support the good work by the devs. I don't have psbox consoles or ios devices anymore so I can devote my budget to the. However I was refering to the eShop DL software prices which can't be comapred to retail prices of food! Completely different animal (though I used 3DS price reduction example because that was a Nintendo comapny price reduction). In the modern world they are most certainly high even though they come with a 3D effect. Nintendo gave no indication that they'd reduce prices. They've very rarely done that for wiiware or dsiware which are overpriced as well. For what its worth I would recommend those titles highly. It doesn't mean I wish they weren't 99p instead of 8 quid. Also over a periof of 18 months or so, how much could u potentially spend on the eShop? Close to 50 quid?

Are these prices permanent or only for a limited time?

Sorry, yes, we are lucky to have such good quality games on the 3DS. Just "debating" DL price issues.

@Retro_on_theGo You've already got cheaper games on YOUR eShop, seeing as Mutant Mudds is £8.10 here and the equivalent of £5 in America. Nintendo is bad at currencies.

@Cipher you should really enjoy those game discounts now they're definitely a must have.

I am so excited! So I downloaded the KH demo......only to find I now have 90 blocks of memory left

the 8-bit/GB games in particular are vastly overpriced to start with. these price drops are more like what the prices should be from the get go. and they're still overpriced IMO.

I'm in NA, but this is nice. Already had most of the games anyway. Would liked to get Rolling Western though.

@LEGEND_MARIOID the point wasn't the item in question, the point was that you can't expect to be reimbursed whenever there is areduction in price. A better example is Super Mario Galaxy - it is currently available for less than its launch price. I don't think anyone who bought that at launch expect or feel they are entitled to be paid back the difference in costs.

All in all, this is just 2 week of a very small amount of games being a little cheaper. Companies don't reduce prices as an 'acknowledgement that they are overpriced', especially not for such a short period of time, they reduce prices to encourage further sales.

Damn you nintendo you really want my money don't you. There is 3 games there I want on the list that I am going to get but I am going to have to pick up a points card or 2 in the next week.

I will be getting Pullbox, MSF and DRL and I still have to pick up mutant mudd.

Finally, sales! Sadly, the few interesting games are the games I have already!
But I also see 2 new, interesting demo's! And that Mario and Sonic application: I don't know, but it will be free! Could be fun stuff, like the Pokedex 3D. Hopefully it doesn't munch to much SD card space, like Pokedex 3D did!

Does this apply to NOA too? i want that discounts too. I only have zen pinball and the other games are on my wishlist.

i can FINALLY Get dillon's rollung western,AND buy some retro games! i've been meaning to get it loads but there are alot of good gameboy,gamegear,NES games in there.

I'd like to get Dillon's Rolling Western on sale.

@Vintage Some people are really that out of touch, believe it.

Silly Nintendo, selling games for 20% off on your Anniversary sale... Pullblox and Link's Awakening for €4,80? That's cool, now what am I gonna spend the remaining €0,20 on when everything else besides your OTHER anniversary sales are rounded to whole euro's?...oooooh Super Mario Land is €3,20... yeah, I see what you done there, Nintendo.

20% is pretty poor, Should be around 50%. Still this is their first sale so thats a step in the right direction to stimulate sales.

Europeans - buy tons of games and convince Ninty that sales are profitable!

I'd buy SML here in the US, but I already got it.

You Europeans got lucky there. Hope we can share the luck over here soon.

So I would note, not only are there sales on the eShop, they are for games that are actually good, not just a bunch of crap no one will buy. Still you will find people complaining, as is customary.

Lol at first i though it said Discontinued and not Discounted, imma so eshtupid

I wish we were as lucky as europe getting all the cool stuff before us.

I ain't complaining, but it sure is a bummer that both the Vita and 3DS are taunting us with digital sales in Europe only at the very same time. Bad luck for us I suppose.

Also, I agree with Token_Girl, I'm going to buy Super Mario Land just so Nintendo gets the point about sales working. And I hope Ymmas is right about getting another sale next weekend that's a pretty good hypothesis.

@H_Hog - Haha, nice.
You could always pay the precise amount through credit/debit card though.

@sinalefa - Stop saying Europe is lucky with this sale. Please realise that eShop games in Europe are on average 30% more expensive than in the US. That means that even with this sale we're still paying 10% more than you.

@Geonjaha

Yeah, I know the pricing is crazy, with the parity between Euros or Pounds not matching to the USD prices. I was talking about how you have discounts on ten games while we only have one game on sale. No offense intended, though.

Still, I hope these sales work so you can have them over there all the time so you don't have to pay that much for games.

@sinalefa - Sorry, got a little caught up there. No problem. :3
