What are the games for the UK? I'd really have liked to get most of those VC games.
they should give some for free as an apology to fans!
Luckily it's not just a North American treat, there are similar discounts in Europe too, guess it's time for recover Dream Team!
(But to be fair there are MANY more discounts in NA, the discounted games in Europe are only 4-5 for each platforms)
No Pikmin 3 love?
Hmm...I was hoping for a Codename STEAM discount as I've been considering buying it to complement my Marth and Ike amiibo.
The Wii U discounts don't interest me as I have the desired games, but as for the 3DS, I'll get Animal Crossing New Leaf and Kid Icarus: Uprising.
Also I would of gotten Mario Tennis Open but why is it the most expensive 3DS game on there!?
The only thing that kinda interests me is Yoshi's Island DS on the Wii U vc.
I'm having trouble deciding between Fantasy Life or A Link Between Worlds... unless I just go ahead and drop $56 for both.
Most of the videos are up in the eShop as well. Starfox looks tolerable now.
In Germany part of Zelda, Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem and Mario franchises up to 30% off
@Bassman_Q both are awesome if you need a quick review Fantasy Life more casual, Zelda more intense
@A01 That is ridiculous! a VERY small selection for Europe
@OneBagTravel Pikmin 3 was in the sale they had back in April.
3DS:For Europe(in euro's)
chibi-robo lets go photo €9,09
Pokemon mystery dungeon gates to infinity 27,99
Mario and luigi dream team 27,99
Mario tennis 3,49
Mario tennis open 31,49
star fox 64 3d 31,49(lol)
Animal crossing new leaf 27,99
Fire emblem awakening 31,49
Legend of zelda: Link Between worlds 31,49
I wouldn't mine some of the 3DS games, but I have 3 3DSs in the house and I only go physical so the games can be played on all three.
Sigh, Europe only gets a few of those. I've picked up Metroid Prime Trilogy, it's a bargain with the offer.
I have too many video games. I have every game on this list that I already want. Great deals but none for me. Good thing though since smash bros cost me $30 this week already
@MightyKrypto apology to what? we got FREAKING MOTHER, 3 smash dlc chars and yeah...
Would have got Captain Toad and Kid : Icarus. If they were on sale here in the UK
Any word on Nintendo's new loyalty scheme at all?
North America
Probably would have gotten Captain Toad and the Oracle Zelda games, but I guess my Euros are not so important since they're not Dollars
Fine, at that price, I'm gonna give HW a shot ^^
Why couldn't this be sooner?! I could have waited for the discount for Awakening....
I own so many of these. Many of those look like such a steal. Still not used to Nintendo sales.
Captain Toad, you will finally be mine ! (Trust me , the shame for not owning this sooner burns my soul everyday )
@Storytime7 It was also free for people who bought MK8 in time
Got Dream Team, yay! Too bad no Majora Mask, my physical copy of the game is broken so I consider getting the digital version, but I'm waiting for discount. Well, it just released a few months ago, so just wishful thinking of mine...
By the way, why is this a surprise? I thought it was expected. Last year they did this discount too.
European sale is rubbish, like lemon in a paper cut after today's "news".
As per usual we get an inferior sale in Europe.
@crimsontadpoles Was Metroid Prime Trilogy Europe only? I've been wanting it for a while, but I didn't see it listed.
If this doesn't scream "damage control", I don't know what does.
@AlexSora89
They had sales last year too, so no, I don't believe it's damage control.
Iwata went on Twitter and basically apologized, in a round about way... That... was damage control.
My poor wallet
nintendo's stock dropped 1.7% today and it's only lunch in japan. i guess a bad e3 will do that
and it's going down more
Iwata... It's time to retire...
Need someone with a little more spunk.
Why does Nintendo hate Europe so much?!
First the Humble Nindie Bundle region lock fiasco and now the eShop sale that sees Europe get about five games discounted while America has about 40!
@Zelda_Rocks Yep, it looks like Metroid Prime Trilogy is only sale in Europe I'm afraid. I'm still jealous of the USA sale though. Europe only has around 6 games per platform on sale.
You can already get the digital codes for the majority of these slightly cheaper from several sites online so nothing to take advantage of here.
and, again, here in EU we get the short end of the stick - thanks Nintendo, after a wonderful E3 i couldn't expect less from you!
All Lego games in sale except City, still € 60? It seems I'll never play that game...
Any EU love Nintendo?
@AlexSora89 The sales been going all day though. How is it damage control.

Anybody know what the price is in GBP for Fire Emblem: Awakening? Might be tempted by that if it's around the £20 mark, as that's far cheaper than it is on most sites, new or pre-owned.
Nothing says 'sorry' more than, 'will you please accept our over-priced games at a heavy discount', when you're at your most vulnerable as a fanbase??
Nintendo is the wife abuser I wish i'd married...and then reversed my opinion once I realized I had the power to obliterate not only him....but his worthless, in-bred hick family too..
So.... What are the EU WiiU & WiiU VC sales?
Is Toad Tracker a good game to turns with? Or are the levels kind of lengthy?
I'll be damned if I'm buying ANYTHING digitally on the Wii U.
Europe gets royally shafted again, cheers Nintendo! It's the beginning of the end now anyway, after the trickle of Wii U games who is gonna buy the NX? Goodbye Nintendo, thanks for the memories.
You all should download Fire Emblem Awakening first!
@paleboyjack I know that feel.
That's a lot of sales!
That's a lot of sales!
@LunaticPandora why?
Well, perhaps I will finally pickup Hyrule Warriors. I think I have everything else that looks interesting. It is either that or Splatoon this month.
@crimsontadpoles Thanks.
Mario Golf: World Tour
Super Mario 3D Land
are mine! I've been waiting for a discount like this for ever, im still undecided wether i should get Link Between Worlds though, after seeing Tri Force Heroes, im kinda in the mood to wait and get that instead.
Shame that they consider the Dr. Mario game on 3DS to be too new to discount...
Luckily most of the games are ones I don't already own. So far I've bought Super Mario 3D Land, Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga, and Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. I really want Fire Emblem and some of the VC games but I don't have enough in my eshop balance right now. I'm really excited about this sale because I usually won't buy a game unless it's on sale.
I just realized Fantasy Life was on there D: I missed it on the eshop! That would've been the first thing I bought!
Not very good deals overall. I might pick up Uprising since I don't own it. I have played it though and it was great.
I might pick up Awakening too.
I wouldn't mind Lego the hobbit and beyond Gotham at them prices but alas I live in the UK where we are treated like second class consumers compared to the US, oh well never mind I am sure lots of great games are on the way after that spectacular E3, er hang about............
Let's not get to excited. Most if these games are already 30% or more cheaper from Amazon and other online sellers.
If Nintendo continue to over price their download games and then take 30% off it is not really much of an offer.
A downloaded movie or music album is always cheaper than a physical copy, For some reason Nintendo does not think this should apply to games.
Anyone that pays for the starfox 3d download must be dumb. You can buy a second-hand copy for about a tenner.
