Ikachan for $3? Yeah, I'll pick that up. Already have Mutant Mudds, Bomb Monkey, VVVVVV, and NightSky.
Kinda tempted for MMDeluxe but meh.. Wish there was some VC sales on the Wii U eShop.
Ikachan is $3????? Perfect!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll get MMDeluxe and Bomb Monkey. But i have everything else except ATV which i don't care about.
If you like platformers, get Mutant Mudds and VVVVVV. If you like games in general, get Nightsky!
Also VVVVVV has one of the best chiptune soundtracks I've ever heard. Here, listen to some of this.

Damn, I have pretty all those games. Ah well.
More proof that Nicalis has something against Europe. No discounts or Cave Story releases. >:[
So only Mutant Mudds as a discounted title on the Wii U? Bummer!
Definitely getting Cave Story on the 3DS though. Been meaning to for a long time.
There's also quite a few more sales including Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures for $19.99 ($39.99), Project X Zone is going for $14.99 ($34.99), Witch & Hero for $2.79 ($3.99), Sword & Soldiers 3D for $5.59 ($7.99), Hometown Story for $29.99 ($39.99), VectorRacing for $4.89 ($6.99) and...well 3 pages worth of items listed on the 3DS eShop.
@MisterSmith I really hope that Project X Zone sale hits Europe!
Seriously guys. Just buy VVVVVV. It's one of the best games ever made!
Toki Tori 2 is also on sale for $7.49 in North America
Only 4.99 for VVVVVV...well, okay...I'll give it a try. I have Cave Story on Wiiware and there is no incentive for me to buy it on 3DS. I already have Mutant Mudds. I am not interested in anything else on the list.
As awesome as the European discount are, I'm still pretty bitter about not having Cave Story on Eshop!!! What gives Nicalis?
Since I don't have a 3DS, I guess I will only get 1 game from this list.
Toki Tori also has a discount on Wii U only 1.99 in case you missed the sale when it first released.
I hate how so many games are so cheap on PC. It means that I end up owning them all for nothing, so I can't justify re-buying them on other platforms despite the fact that I'd rather play them on those platforms. Cave Story on my 3DS would be so cool, but I've already got it.
Where's the Ubisoft game sales and the Toki Tori 2+ sale where it's super cheap if you bought all 3 Two Tribes Classics? I really wanna buy ZombiU ($13.49).
VVVVVV is a must-buy for anyone who doesn't have it.
@DerpSandwich If the console version is the best version and you like the game (For certain because you have already played it). Don't see why getting it again should be a problem. (Much preferable to trusting reviewers anyway and getting ripped off like I did for Mutant Mudds at full price).
If it is a worse version at a later date costing orders of magnitude more then it doesn't deserve the money.
I have probably bought 500 indie games this year or so most of them are stuff that shouldn't have even been sold in the first place. At Niaclis prices that would be a serious amount of money.
Just punched the fourth hole in my Nicalis eShop Loyalty Program card. Here's hoping NightSky entertains me as much as their other 3 offerings have.
So little love for Europe :_(
@DarkCoolEdge Free Super Mario 3D Land for the newcomers and Mario Deluxe is enough I guess
I think it is awesome that the sales end on January 2nd. This gives us time if we get eshop giftcards during Christmas to spend on good games on sale to top it off.
@Giygas_95 good choices i got both
@dadajo just watch even more games will go on sale next week... heres hoping for mario 3
This was released on the PSN recently. Usually it is Nintendo that gets a later port of a game not the other way around.
I got Ikachan, might get Cave Story but I got the DSI ware version, also recommend Bomb Monkey!
Copped Mutant Mudds: Deluxe on the Wii U and Cave Story on the 3DS, haven't played either. Nintendo could win me over with some more sales, and there's plenty of time left for it. Next Thursday will be the day after Xmas, wouldn't be a bad day to release both Link to the Past or Mario Bros. 3, and have some more sales across the board.
I'm expecting some eShop cards for Christmas, after which I'll grab Cave Story.
hah, one discount for Europe and a eight for North America. That's... typical.
Where is Cave Story eShop version for Europe? Nicalis is so damn slow with their European releases, always. That will never change.They just don't care.
Also Ikachan has not been released in Europe and it's ELEVEN months since the American release... seriously...
If only Nicalis would release Cave Story+ here in Europe I'd be very happy.
For some reason I don't think it's going to happen.
Would really love that Cave Story+
C'mon Nicalis, bring it to Europe!
Picked up Mutant Mudds and NightSky, considering Cave Story, though I've played it on Mac, possibly VVVVVV.
Just was finishing up the Grannie levels last night on Mutant Mudds. I bought it the last time it was on sale and I have to say it is definitely worth $4.50.
Hmm. I might get Mutand Mudds Deluxe. I already have the 3DS version, so I didn't want to pay full price just for the ghost levels, but at half-price it's pretty tempting.
And $3 Ikachan sounds good too.
Speaking about Mutant Mudds Deluxe, I played it for an hour, and I still do not get this game. It is sorta difficult (which fits my taste), but the gameplay was rather primitive (and frustrating). I did not understand all the raving reviews about this game. VVVVVV, in contrast, was amazing.
i hope i can get into the eshop before this ends so i can get ikachan, nightsky, and mutant mudds deluxe.
