Earlier this week a host of titles went on discount in North America, some of which were outlined in last week's download update without firm prices, and a whole load of others that came as surprises. We held off believing they'd all be covered in today's download update only to be foiled; there are plenty of discount details in there, but not all of them.
So, as you dust off your credit card or eShop cards, below are the prices and new discounts not featured in either of the last two download updates, with the whole Holiday weekend — and longer in some cases — available to grab the deals.
Wii U Temporary Discount
- Darksiders II — $9.99 until 2nd December
3DS Temporary Discounts
- Yumi’s Odd Odyssey – $9.99 until 1st December
- Harvest Moon 3D: The Tale of Two Towns – $9.99 until 1st December
- Hometown Story – $9.99 until 1st December
- Reel Fishing Paradise 3D – $9.99 until 1st December
- Gabrielle’s Ghostly Groove 3D – $9.99 until 1st December
3DS Permanent Discounts
Finding Nemo: Escape to the Big Blue – now $19.99
Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion – now $19.99
Disney's Planes – now $19.99
Along with today's Download Update that hopefully provides a full picture of the eShop deals in North America. Are you tempted by any of these?
Thanks to all that pointed out these discounts in the comments, forums and by email.

Nothing in the UK at all? I'd have grabbed Darksiders II, Hometown Story and Harvest Moon at those prices.
There's even a few more...the rest of G-Style's games (alien on the run, jump trials supreme and undead bowling) are also going for $2.99 like crazy construction and chain blaster...
I picked up Wheel of Fortune for ten dollars also, it's been great playing it with the fam today!(for Thanksgiving)
got dammit, i should have waited to get darksiders 2 for $10 instead of spending $30, oh well, despite that its a good game
Is hometown story any good?
@8bitforever
Thanks for the tip, I'm downloading now!
Why, oh why, oh why. I just spent my $10 on 3d galaxy force and Wario land 3. Why, oh why, oh why.
Yes! I didn't get Darksiders 2 when they had the sale for 19.99 so I'm definitely getting it this go around! Though they did give it to me for free with XBox Games with Gold a while back my, but it was sans DLC.
@deKay @Manaphy2007 I got darksiders 2 practically on release for a tenner 'cause HMV (local media shop) was closing down
Darksiders III confirmed.
@Sparx
I have heard nothing but bad about Hometown Story. The camera seems to be a major issue, iirc.
I'm considering Lego Marvel and Darksiders 2 for $10 each. Although both are apparently known to be riddled with bugs so I don't know if I'd like that.
Do anyone recomend lego marvel heroes for wii u? I just got darksiders II and I am also tempted for metroid fusion and wario land 4
@Thomas - Do you want these?
Well it looks like I'm finally getting YOO. How much space does it take up?
@FeedingTheWheel
My file (including the save file) says 1,030 blocks. That game is a steal at that price.
Darksiders II is definitely worth it for that price!
Nothing for me — pretty disappointing sale in my mind.
Paper Monsters Recut got a discount ($3.99) too that I think started today
If Yumi's Odd Odyssey was on sale for $10 at any time other than the holiday season, I would consider it. We're planning on getting three copies of Fantasy Life, at least, so between that and other Christmasy stuff, I am not rolling in dough. Not even rolling dough. No dough being rolled, by my body or a rolling pin, literally or figuratively. My mom has celiac disease. Gets sick if flour is around.
I still stand by my earlier statement that that game has terrible advertising. The review makes it sound fun, but the game banner just shows a picture of some anime girl. Nothing about fishing, or platforming. Does nothing to convince you that the price tag is worth it.
I'm running out of space on my SD card. :S
I just paid $20 for darksiders 2, but it is good because my wii u would need extra download space for this game anyway. Plus, I get the game on physical disc!
I bought Paper Monsters Recut and Metroid II earlier today. I really wanna get the Azure Striker Gunvolt discount, too.
Got wheel of fortune and jeopardy today for $10 apiece, which is about as much as I'd be willing to pay for them. Not expecting greatness but they'll make for good family games to complement smash bros and mario kart methinks.
Hmm. Maybe I'll check out this Darksiders thing.
Darksiders 2 is incredible. Play it.
Darksiders II at $10 is a steal. I got it back in April when it was $20. It was the best $20 I ever spent on the eShop
@PvtOttobot i got mine on june of this year along with dx3 ($15 new) for wii u
@Genesaur you should, if you dont have it for ps3, xb360 or pc then get the wii u ver cuz it includes the dlc and stuff
Id say Darksiders 2 for $10 is the best deal anywhere for Wii U this week! Only other great deal I've seen this black Friday is $15 MK7 and 3D Land at Target. Happy Thanksgiving
Shame that Europe seems to be getting nothing. Other platforms do have discounts in Europe also today.
darksiders II
Really, I am interested in that game, and its 10? Deal.
Microsoft is selling many 360 games for less than € 5 in Europe too. Thanks Nintendo for not sharing these discounts with EU...
Wait, Darksiders II retail is € 10 everywhere! Oh dear.
I downloaded Smash Bros this morning and Tengami and Lone Survivor yesterday, but clearly I need to visit the eShop again - fingers crossed these deals are coming to Europe!
And Sony has - 50% on many NEW games in EU too. Thanks again Nintendo.
Darksiders would be mine but I'm a limey so I'll have to settle for some donkey Kong action instead!!
@8bitforever Whoa, seriously? I'm totally getting that one then!
I want to buy Lego Marvel Super Heroes, but I hear it has a huge amount of crashing bugs, and some game breaking bugs. Even some that prevent 100 percent completion. Don't know if I want to waste my money if the game is like that.
FYI, Darksiders II will give you 60 coins on club nintendo and Lego Marvel will give you 50 coins and those are $10 games.
Every time I see something at an incredibly low price on the US shop it makes me that much less likely to ever spend four times that for it on the EU shop.
But hey look: Darksiders II is $5 on Steam.
@Gold Yep, I'm still waiting for Azure Striker Gunvolt to drop down as well.
@Sceptic PC games always get better deals/ and are usually cheaper (except upon release) than console games, this is nothing new.
@CharleSketch FACT: lego marvel is amazing.
I'd consider picking up darksiders 2... If nintendo had thought ahead about digital downloads and put a realistically sized drive in the Wii U, or at the very least allow me to upgrade the internal drive like I could with the PS3.
I know you can connect an external drive, but that takes up USB space, doesn't load as fast or reliably depending on which drive you use, and it looks awful. I'd rather spend a little extra time swapping internal drives and then forgetting about it.
@AshFoxX I disagree. In fact, I think this is a preferable set up. I don't have a proprietary drive, I don't have to take apart a case and I happen to have a drive that matches my Wii U and looks really good sitting next to it!
Best Buy is running a pretty great deal on Wii U games at as part of a new Cyber Monday sale. As Nintendo Life decided not to share...
Buy one title, you can get a second for 40 percent off. The selection includes Super Smash Bros. Wii U, Bayonetta 2, Hyrule Warriors, and more.
