This week's big Wii retail game making its way to the Wii U eShop in North America is none other than Punch-Out!! Launching at 50% off the regular price, the revamped classic brings along with it the next wave of Throwback Sales across both NA eShops. These deals will be available until the next update on 29th January, so make sure to take advantage of them while you can.
Here's what Nintendo has in store this week:
- Punch-Out!! - $9.99 (normally $19.99)
- NES Remix 2 - $10.49 (normally $14.99)
- The Legend of Zelda (3DS eShop) - $3.49 (normally $4.99)
- The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds - $29.99 (normally $39.99)
- Kid Icarus - Of Myths and Monsters - $1.99 (normally $3.99)
- Kid Icarus: Uprising - $24.49 (normally $34.99)
There are some pretty solid deals to be had, though we are surprised to see that the original Punch-Out!! didn't make the cut. Are you planning to pick up any of these deals?

I hope Punch Out Wii will come to Europe too at 50% off. I hope all Wii games will have this re-introductory price.
I hope a lot of people buy Punch Out. First, it is a great game, and second, it may lead to more stock for the Little Mac amiibo.
Of the discounts maybe KI for Gameboy.
I was really hoping for Super Punch Out to be discounted, oh well.
I got this game at £4.99 when I saw it in a shop
@Mrclaycoat You can get it in Club Nintendo right now
The only things I don't already have are Punch Out! (Wii) and NES Remix 2.
..I actually have everything here, but there are some good ones. Punch Out Wii is definitely worth that. KI:M&M for 2 bucks is nothing, but honestly that's the one out of the three KI games I kept losing interest in.
My personal opinion but I think the NES Remix games are better priced around $10 anyway.
I will probably look into NES Remix 2.
A Link Between Worlds at 25% - $10 off is a pretty good sale by Nintendo standards, game is still usually $40 on shelves.
I'll save my money for next week though. Possibly still own all 3 Metroid games - 2 from their Gamecube days - but $10 for the remastered trilogy seems like a must buy.
I was just going to download Punch Out, but I'm tempted to get Remix 2, also. Well played, Nintendo.
Oh Nintendo my wallet can't handle this much crazy deals!
Throwback Sale. Hope to see something like this happen in Europe too.
Been eyeing Punch Out!! and NES Remix 2. I really enjoyed the first NES Remix and I've been too busy with other games to warrant the cost of picking it up.
Man, Nintendo is hitting my wallet hard lately.
@Jahir It's one of the few games I'd really like to have off TV though sadly. I'm totally cool with playing most of my classics on Wii mode but the punch out series is something I'd rather play off TV while watching TV...cuz I like to party.
Punch out for sure.
@earthboundlink In that case, there's the discount you'd then get for the Wii U version. You'll be saving more money that way than you would have with the throwback sale.
Tempted with NES Remix 2 but I have a feeling it might be a Club Nintendo February reward...
How much playtime would I get out of Punch Out!!?
@TurianAgent
It's definitely worth the $10. If you do all the Exhibition challenges there is plenty longevity. Plus fighting your way through the circuits and title defenses. Plus finally unlocking a secret fighter.
i got kid icruas and it is my first kid icruas game too
Getting PUNCHOUT!!
I can't wait for Punch Out Wii to come to Europe.
By the way, there is a rumour that the secret Punch Out character can be found somewhere in the crowd, you just need to find him.
If they do this intro price on Wii titles every time, not just for a month, I will definitely pick up more of them. So convenient.
Why wasn't NES Remix for the 3DS not on here?......sigh.......
woke up this morning and remembered i had to get Galaxy 2 while its 10 buck. im excited to pick up punch out later today.
also nes remix 2 for 10 is great for anyone who needs it
might get kid icarus uprising. It's almost impossible to find anywhere (in the US) for a decent price. The prices on amazon are over 40 for used and 80 for new. Out of stock everywhere else except used at gamestop which would be 38 bucks. I don't know why its so expensive, this might be my best option, although I'd rather have the cartridge.
Love how Kid Icarus Of Myths & Monsters is included in the sale yet was one of the Club Nintendo rewards last month. Uprising is a steal at that price. Can't recommend that game enough - it's easily one of the best games on the system. Only complaint is the control scheme takes getting used to and isn't very friendly towards lefties (I'm a rightie though). Otherwise it's absolutely fantastic.
I want Punch-Out, but at the same time I need to be space conscious as I don't have the funds for an external HDD right now and Prime Trilogy next week will take up a lot of room (have to delete NG3:RE to make room for it).
Ok, Nintendo, you got me again. I know I promised to not buy anything until 6 months after MH4U, but you announced a fire emblem gam and rereleased punch out and metroid prime trillogy. Just please tell me that Zelda and Xenoblade X are scheduled for the end of the year. If youd are to release Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn I'll be forced to buy it too.
NES Remix 2. Was still enjoying NES Remix 1 and figured we'd get a price drop eventually. So, jumped on it. Probably@ $10 both would have sold a lot more from the start, right?
Punch Out is very tempting. I never did buy that but was always interested. Starting these with the week long 50% discount is very effective against my psychology. lol.
The whole indie sale is awesome, too. Last week, since we already owned bit trip runner 2 we didn't have to buy in to the sale prices. I bought every last one on the list!
Uprising and Zelda Link Between Worlds are nice deals, too, and great games, but I already own them. Kinda hoping for Ocarina to go on sale as I bought into 3DS late in the game and am holding out for price drops on that and Star Fox...
Somehow I fooled myself into thinking I have time to play all this stuff.
@Mrclaycoat You can download it on Wii mode and then pay 1 buck to play it on your gamepad. The first one plays great that way
@IceClimbers You can buy it and download it later, that's what I did
@aaronsullivan I'm sure Star Fox 64 3D will get a sale eventually as it's the only Star Fox game on this generation of consoles so far
i want punchout just so i can use balance board.
@Grumblevolcano Right? It has to get a sale soon, somewhere. I would never say that about Nintendo even a few years ago, however. The landscape is changing.
You know what else? I'm realizing that these sales have gotten relevant enough that they have really pulled me away from bargains on Steam and the App Store for my Apple devices where I usually drop money on games I might not play until a later date. That's a big change.
Hmm... going to go buy Punch Out now...
I think ill finally take the plunge on Uprising. Borrowed it from a coworker a while back and really enjoyed it.
On the fence about nes remix 2... Not sure if it has enough content plus I feel like it may just pop up on Cub Nintendo in Febuary or as a platinum reward.. Hmm decisions, decisions. What do you guys think?
Can anyone tell me if Punchout Wii is playable on the Gamepad and not the Wiimote+nunchuk?
