Nintendo Confirms Final Week Details For Its Super Smashing eShop Sale

I'd love to go for a Kirby or DK game, but I've got to save for Smash.

By the way, highly recommend New Leaf to those who haven't played it!

Nice! For anyone who doesn't have Pikmin 3: Get it!!

Avoid Tropical Freeze so that Retro Studios would no longer take the easy way out and wow us next time. Get Pikmin 3 instead

Oh man, for anybody on the fence on Pikmin 3, now's the time to buy!!

Best game on Wii U along with Mario Kart 8 in my opinion.

I don't know why Pikmin 3 is still regularly priced at $60. I love it a lot, but it's a really short game and should be marked down considering that other games that are much longer have been.

Star Fox... so tempting... but I'm almost out of memory... eh, who cares. Christmas is soon, so I'll get it then. @LucinaSmash What's wrong with you? Tell everybody to GET Tropical Freeze, not to AVOID it.

Eh. Not interested.

This entire "sale" was meh.

Never played a Kirby game. Should I start with Kirby's Dreamland 3 or The Amazing Mirror? I only have about $8 so can't get both.

Oh no we alredy have 2 copies of AC NL in my house... Is it time for the third one?

Tropical Freeze is calling my name, and I'm extremely tempted to drop $30 on it, but something else is telling me to hold off. Black Friday, perhaps?

Tropical Freeze for that price is a steal. So is Pikmin 3.

Already own Pikmin 3 and Tropical Freeze, but I'll definitely be picking up Animal Crossing and perhaps Starfox/Pacman.

They definitely chose a perfect selection for the last week of the sale.

Tropical freeze!..sweet!...black Friday will reduce the prices to eshop levels anyways, but with eshop I earn money back through digital deluxe program and club nintendo coins!

Dang I just bought a used copy of Tropical Freeze from Gamestop for $40

Tropical Freeze, for sure!

@Dipper723 I'd say Amazing Mirror. While the gameplay is similar to a typical Kirby game, it is a lot less linear, letting you go different paths, and if you get the hang of the map, it becomes easier to tell where you need to go. It's great if you like exploring.

BTW the Digital Deluxe Program expires by the end of this year. So hurry up ppl and use it!...I'm expecting Nintendo to extend the program but knowing them, who knows right?

Donkey Kong got some good sales! I already have everything except Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures, so I might get that... But I also want to get Azure Striker Gunvolt...

This week looks like it could get some other Dankey Kang game, like Dankey Kang 3 or that rare Dankey Kang game which was from a CN promotion last year.

I'd like to buy some of these games but since I'll buy Hyrule Warriors this week and Smash the next one so I might just buy Kirby's Dream Land 3 :C

Also, here are the mexican prices for the Wii U sales:

DK Tropical Freeze MXN $649.99

Donkey Kong MXN $39.99

DK Jr. MXN $39.99

Pikmin 3 MXN $699.99 (do yourself a favor and buy this one)

PAC-MAN and the ghostly adventures MXN $157.00

Kirby's Dream Land 3 MXN $69.99 (buy the other 2 on the 3DS!!!)

Kirby & The Amazing Mirror MXN $59.99

And... that's it, I'll check the 3DS sales later.

@Dipper723 Start with Kirby's Dream Land 3. It is the best and polished Dream Land (the other two are GB classics). Although, SNES Kirby Super Star is the most amazing Kirby game so far! If I had known that, I would have played first KDL3. By the way, Kirby Super Star is a Club Nintendo reward this month, so go for it if you got the coins!

PIKMIN 3!!! I would buy it once again, but already got it physical... I don't know... I just love the game. I would pay to be able to boot it without having to switch discs @_@

Got Star Fox 64 3D and Donkey Kong Country Trpoical Freeze... today started off as a good Birthday lol

Amazing Mirror for me. The Metroid of Kirby games.

@Thomas
Here are the Canadian ones that are different. Weekly price update coming shortly.

Donkey & Diddy Kong
Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D — 3DS eShop, $24.99 (normally $34.99)
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze — Wii U eShop, $34.99 (normally $54.99)

Villager
Animal Crossing: New Leaf — 3DS eShop, $24.99 (normally $34.99)

@ghasfarost I'm kinda in the same boat. I bought a bunch of games (including Pikmin 3) in physical form before I got my NNID and HD set up. Now I want to trade em all for digital versions.

Anybody who doesn't have Pikmin 3, definitely consider it now. Top tier game on the Wii U if you ask me. It's short, but really good.

Getting tropical freeze for sure!

Why is star fox 64 3D still full price? I figured it'd be normally $30 by now...

Don't understand the love for Pikmin 3, just started playing it and I am not really fan of it.

I will get the Kirby Wii U VC games though.

i´m tempted with tropical freeze but 11,5 gb install....mmmmm....

I am so unaccustomed to Nintendo sales like this. For those unimpressed, I have to assume you haven't paid attention much to Nintendo game prices over the last 30 years.

Probably won't be able to let Tropical Freeze go by at $20 off or those Kirby games or Star Fox... own most of the others I think.

I would recommend Pikmin 3 if you don't have it. Fantastic game.

Please can we have some more EU sales please Nintendo.

@Ryno it´s a difficult game at the begining but after you get the hand of it, it´s easily one of the best games for WiiU. I recommend playing with the wiimote

@brewsky I have seen it on sale for $30 retail. Not currently, but I know someone had that sale. Go physical!

@donvito
Time for a hard drive. You can do a portable-style with a usb-y cable plugged into two ports. Can't believe how inexpensive those are now.

@Ryno
Pikmin cab be a bit of an acquired taste. I find the overarching game structure interesting but frustrating sometimes. I didn't use "charge" enough when I first started which made things more difficult than necessary. I didn't really start to fully love the game until I started doing the challenges after finishing once and going back through trying not to lose any Pikmin.

DKTF is normally $55? It was at $50 retail at release! Digital pricing is ridiculous.

@joebro

that's completely illogical. Price a game on its length alone? don't ever run a business, you'll bankrupt that company in no time. It's a Nintendo title with copious amount of replay ability. Their business plan continues to let their titles sell over a extensive time table. Tsk tsk.

Huh. I just bought tropical freeze. I may take that back and get the eshop version.

tropical freeze for 30 that is great for anyone that doesn't have it

DANG IT! I'm literally 3 bucks away from Animal Crossing! And I thought New Leaf was going to be my first game in the series. Better luck next time

gah, if only TF was $10 bucks cheaper I'd be able to afford it and smash next week, looks like I'm gonna have to either choose or see where I can salvage up those extra $10

Dang, I really want Tropical Freeze, Pikmin and Star Fox, but I already splurged on Kid Icarus, and Smash is out this week. >_<

That is such a steal for Tropical Freeze. Such a fantastic game. If you don't have it yet then this is the time to jump and buy.

ANIMAL CROSSING NEW LEAF YES!
That being said I realized they missed a good opportunity to put the Streetpass games on sale.

I'll be grabbing Star Fox. I've been meaning to get it for a while. I don't buy physical releases so this is probably as cheap as I'll get it.

@LucinaSmash Pikmin 3 is a boring and pretentious sleeping pill passing as a game that only geeks and otakus "enjoy". Donkey kong Country is a fun, challenging, excelent designed 2D platform game that deserves to be played it by everybody, even more than the overrated and noboy-asked-for-it Pikmin 3.

@ghall
Yeah, I was really hoping for a 24.99 for Starfox, but its work

Aw man, Tropical Freeze and Pikman 3 are tempting! I'm definitely getting Star Fox 64 3D. I'm TRYING to avoid buying an external hard drive for my Wii U. I like being able to trade those games in if they suck, but I know both Tropical Freeze and Pikman 3 are great so, yeah. :/

Finally getting that Tropical Freeze...I was only expecting like 10 bucks off, I'm pleasantly surprised!

@Dipper723 don't get Amazing Mirror.

@aaronsullivan i think i´ll wait. just one more week for Smash bros! Loving the demo already

@dings it's still one of the more popular titles on the 3DS...market sets the price!

@minotaurgamer lol wut? Pikmin 3 is a great game, my 9 year-old cousin and my 6 year-old nephew love it as well and trust me, they're neither the things you said. And I'd like to buy DK TF but I want it physical

Buy Tropical Freeze if you haven't already. Seriously, DO IT.

Finally going to get Animal Crossing

What happened to this promo in UK? Just seemed to stop

I can soundly say you should get both Tropical Freeze AND Pikmin 3...

@fortuneandlame
Wow, I didn't mean to sound aggressive. I loved Pikmin 3, it's just that I noticed other games like Tropical Freeze's regular price were marked down. Literally every other retail game but Pikmin 3 and Starfox on this list were marked down on their regular price. I certainly am not a genius when it comes to marketing, just expressing my opinion on the Internet.

Why did Star Fox get such a crappy sale compared to the rest?

I said I'd be tempted to get DKTF if it was under $35. Well for $29.99 it is already downloaded. I guess I have a new game to play.

@LucinaSmash lol dk tf was a great game. what is wrong with you?

@minotaurgamer i asked for pikmin and it's excellent. sounds as if you dont like rts games.

@faint As someone who had never played Pikmin 1 or 2, I felt very lost with Pikmin 3. Fortunately I found a used Pikmin 1 copy a few days ago in GAME so playing 1 and 2 will probably help.

Wow, may look into Animal Crossing.

Pikmin 3 & DK: Tropical Freeze are 2 of the 3 best WiiU games. These are perfect prices for those who haven't bought them.

They really should be adding more titles to the eshop

So much stuff, i seriously dont know what to get.

Color me suprised, they didn't add Tripple Deluxe for kirby. It just seems off, after all, the game is almost a half a year old.

Welp, tried buying Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, but I was $0.06 short.

I'd be excited if I didn't already own every game on this list...

Now is probably the cheapest Tropical Freeze will be in the Wii U's lifespan. ♥︎

I really want to get tropical Freeze but that would take up 11 GB.... What should I do?

Oh! I think I'll get Donkey Kong. That's a classic!

I got most of the games, I can get DK nes but I got original edition, if I had a few more bucks I could get Pac Man...just wish it was the nes game that was on sale.
Also dang, Animal Crossing is cheaper then Star Fox.

$20 for Animal Crossing? Yikes, that's a steal. Granted, I'm willing to bet most of us already have it, but still...

@Tritonus
I was waiting for the Pikmin deal, Still on the fence but tempted I never played any of the pikmin games
will the wife like it?

Seeing as I have been wanting Tropical Freeze for quite some time, I had no choice but to take advantage of a deal like this!

@Allx360 That's why I ordered a 1 TB hard drive because after this game, my Wii U's original storage space is full!

@Allx360 EDIT: Nevermind, SD cards can't be used to download games.

@Dipper723 amazing mirror is different then most but that's what I decided to get and its amazing and unlike most that have worlds this is just 1 world that branch's out like crazy. Its also similar to a Metroid game in the sence that that's how the maps are tho I miss it having the multiplayer function but u will have 4 Kirby's somewhat working together and its also the longest Kirby game I have ever player.

No Triple Deluxe discount? How disappointing.

That Animal Crossing discount is tempting

I'd get Pikmin 3 or Starfox 64, but I don't have the money or the save space on my systems for them. But that's okay, because I'm getting Smash Bros. next week!

Getting pac on wii u. Really cheap and my HD is begging for more games.

Sweet! I may pick up DKC Tropical Freeze or New Leaf!

@minotaurgamer otakus, really? Really?

It seems you're being either belligerent, or intentionally showing disrespect to the community... not to mention the opinions of your fellow gamers; if everyone liked the same things I can tell you this world would be a mighty boring place.

Was looking forward to seeing how far Star Fox went down, but this is still a bit much for a digital download for me. I already own the physical version, of course, but a digital version would be neat for convenience. Oh well, I'll put the money towards the MK8 DLC pre-order.

Also, what the hell is with the picking and choosing with these discounts? Are these REALLY the only Pac-Man games getting reduced? There's several more options, like the Collection game for GBA on the Wii U VC. Why not that? Why are Pokemon X and Y not reduced? This could have been way better. Overall, a disappointing series of sales for me.

What's everyone who's tried it think of that Pac-man game, yay or nah?

@DiscoGentleman either my eyes are playing tricks on me or they edited the price, but I thought it read that DCTF was priced at 54.99. No big deal. Personslly I havent played it but I'm always looking for it cheap for a physical copy.

@chilenozo good points!

I didn't know that Tropical Freeze was going to be in on this sale! Who knows how long it'll take it to get down to that price again. Heck Returns (Wii) still hasn't really dropped down below $30.

Looks like I'll be nabbing Tropical Freeze!

DKC tropical freeze and Pikmin 3 are awesome definitely recomending it to anyone who is not sure, though DKC TF was more satistying to complete do to how challenging IMO

@OmegaStar What's ridiculous?

Another good week of sales.

I'm thinking about getting some of those Kirby titles and maybe even Pikmin 3.

The 3DS sales have been lackluster, overall.

sigh. No sales on retail games :/

Does anyone know about the Wii U Pacman? I've been tempted to get it. And $12 looks like a steal. I was just wanting some input.

@JoeBro Pikmin 3 is the best game on Wii U. It deserves $60.

I'm definitely snagging Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze at that price. As others have said, Pikmin 3 is also another incredible choice. I spent 20 hours collecting everything in the game and had a blast doing it. I got it for free as part of the Mario Kart 8 promotion though.

never played a kirby game before.which one should i get? and also should i get dkc tropical freeze? or should i just get a kirby game and nes rmix or something.....i have $13 credit in my eshop account and will add $20 for either dkc tropical freeze or a kibry game and nes remix or something.what should i do?

I took a chance on Tropical Freeze, really hope I like it!

Guess I'll get Dreamland 2 and Tropical Freeze...

Got Tropical Freeze, on stage 6 and i can feel already Retro's Magic + David Wise music

im not overreacting if i say this is (so far) the best platformer ever made ? Adn easily the best game of the WiiU

if this keeps going weel its seriously my GOTY so far, Last of Us Remastered could be a contender too, great game but its a remake after all

I said it before and I'll say it again, Pikmin 3 was an incredible experience. If you haven't tried it, I strongly recommend it. Can't go wrong with DKCTF either.

Are the Kirby Dream Land games worth it?

@Dipper723 Kirby Dreamland 3 though hopefully I wasn't too late.

There is literally no justification for Starfox still being that expensive. The game is a remake of a game that came out 15-20 years ago, and it can be played through in a couple hours. The Wii's N64 version is 10 bucks, so there's no reason for a remake to be 40. And a discount to 30? That's laughable; I mean, that should be its price when it's NOT discounted! Oh well, what do I know?

I'll consider DKCR3D, but all the rest I own already, besides Starfox. Not sure about Pac-Man. I haven't heard anyone vouch for that one.

And if you're a Wii U owner and you don't own Pikmin 3 or DKCTF, get those as soon as possible while they're still discounted. You will not regret it.

I would pick up Star Fox if they actually had it at a decent price. That game should default to like $20 max by now.

@LucinaSmash That makes no sense...

Pikmin 3 is a masterpiece, one of the best Wii U games. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is also great, but I sold mine to buy back Mario Kart 8 which I sold for Kingdom Hearts HD (long story). Would it be worth filling half of my GB with it? Already have Monster Hunter 3 from a sale last month on there.

I'll definitely be buying Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures. Been dying for a new 3D platformer on Wii U since Champion's Road Warrioring 3D World. Might get Kirby and the Amazing Mirror if I feel like it.

Is this coming to UK? I've been waiting for a star Fox price drop for an AGE would pick up pac-man ghostly adventures on wii u too at that price

animal crossing and dkctf

Get Tropical Freeze if you haven't already, beautiful game I love it, I have Pikmin3 have hardly played it yet but I'm really looking forward to getting stuck in to it. MK8 still dominating my play time!

@gabopr75 You bet especially Dreamland 3.

I missed out on the Mega Man X2 sale....T__T

I wasn't impressed with Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze when I played the demo, but then I wasn't a huge fan of the original SNES and GB ones. The only other game that would tempt me is Pac-Man, but I am starting to feel platformer fatigue (which is another reason I am passing on DK:TF)

I probably will just wait for Smash to land. I still have way too many games in the backlog that I haven't finished, and I am resisting the itch to finally finish Majora's Mask (which I will need to repurchase again).

Dat Tropical Freeze Tho.

Awesome! I bought Hyrule Warriors and the DLC for it today. So that gave me $10 form the Deluxe Digital Promotion that I put towards Donkey Kong Country - Tropical Freeze. Love that I saved even more. Why does DKC have to be 11GB. That's a damn big game.

it's a crime if every single WiiU owner doesn't have DKC:TF.... it is the definition of "must own"

I can't get these awesome discounted games. I only have enough for Smash Bros.

are these sales not coming to europe? i've been visiting the eshop on both my wii u and 3ds over the last few weeks and havn't seen any deals

Just get Pikmin 3 , trust me
Although story mode might be short for somebody but that's just perfect timing, it has really challenge mission mode that me and my girlfriend put hours and hours to play it , my gf is so addicted to this game. This is the most beautiful visual game on wii u as well, so beautiful that any screenshot can be a great realistic photo.
Just get it

Starfox or Pac-Man?
