Nintendo of America Lines Up Some Last Minute Festive Deals

Good for those who buy physical games and for those who will get a console.

A shame for people like me who only buys digital and already have all amiibo I want (5 of them only).

I have to check out that coupon that came with a Happy Meal toy I got. That Peanuts Movie tie in game looked decent as far as tie in games go.

I wish NoE bothered with good retail sales like these.

@RainbowGazelle well at least you boys aren't getting the shaft every Thursday with the vc selection like us Americans are!!
I wish the boys at NOE were running NOA!!

Was hoping Best Buy would've had more eShop card sales this year as they have had the previous couple of years.

@hcfwesker it's not listed but eShop cards are 10% off until the 19th as well. They were 15% on thanksgiving weekend unadvertised, so I snagged one then. The past two years I've noticed 20% off sales after the holidays (probably to get people with cash and gift cards on the door).

Oh! These Wii U and 3DS game deals look grea- ooooh... target... Canada...

Bland

OK, out of the nearly 11 million people who own a Wii U, how many people are running out and buying 2 and 3 year old games for $60? not many. If a game like Hyrule warriors would cost say... $40, I think a lot more people could pick it up and Nintendo would make a lot more money.

Zzzzz.....

Already have most of them, and don't care about the rest... 💤💤💤 ...

@hcfwesker They are on sale right now!

My wife and I just ordered Smash Bowser, Fox, and Villager amiibo!!

@Olmectron well said. I was in Target today and saw this in person. I really wish there was another eshop sale. Perhaps this Thursday... Hmmmm

Several things I'm interested in...Too bad I'm broke!

Yoshi was $39.99 at Target last week and now they bumped up $5 this week closer to the holiday, but it's still technically a deal at $44.99.

@Olmectron out of curiosity what 5 are those? I have a total of 22 because I collect collect collect. (I'll get you one day ness)

That mint green 2DS with MK7 is great at $80. I got that when it came out and left NES Remix in it. Two games, tons to do, good to stash away in a desk drawer for short sessions. Love the thing.

Haven't stepped foot in a target store since the N64 era, but I might have to stop by tomorrow if I can get Omega Ruby for a decent price, and brand new at that.

@kshixson If you want to make fun of Nintendo game pricing don't forget to include Lego City Un dercover. On the eShop it's in the Lego section at $50 next to all the other $20 Lego games. And it's 2 1/2 years old.

NoA should be named Nintendo of USA.

Hopefully Walmart will price match the BestBuy deal of Buy one game and get 40% off the second for Wii U games since I don't own/want a handheld console. Other wise I will pickup nothing because it is over 50 miles one way to the nearest bestbuy store and also target. So I usually get most of my games from walmart or gamestop sometimes from amazon, but since they are the closets to where I live. This still isn't that great of a deal but I guess it is better than nothing.

@rjejr is it even on the eShop? Tried to buy it digital when the boys destroyed the 1st disk.....ended up buying the disk again. Lego City is great though and worth the $50, it needs a sequel

Was hoping for some eshop card discounts... but oh well. Gotta pick up the smash/splat bundle for a friend.

@Gerbwmu "is it even on the eShop?"

By "it" do you mean LCU? Yes, there is a tile/square that says "Lego Games" and it lists about 5 or 6 games including LCU near the bottom of the list. Not Lego Dimensions though, I don't think that has had a digital version on any system, probably b/c of the portal being new and very necessary.

You can even buy LCU on the website.

And while the game may very well be worth $50, in my brain any game more than 2 years old is only worth half of it's original price. That's just the way it's been since Nintnod started Players Choice and Ntneod Selects so many years ago. And Sony has always had Greatest Hits.

Maybe in the spring when they start promoting the NX they'll throw Wii U owners a bone w/ a Selects budget line and I can finally buy LCU for $30.

@Yorumi "2ds and a 3ds"

2DS vs "new" 3DS XL
mono - stereo
no NFC - NFC
no 3D - new and improved 3D (and it is much improved)
no nub - new nub stick
tiny screen - XL screen
1 screen* - 2 screens

*I know the 2DS has "2 screens" but it is only 1 piece of screen, which is probably cheaper to make and install than the 2 different screens in the new 3DS XL even if that 1 piece is bigger.

So while I do think the new 3DS XL is over priced, I'd like to see normal non-sale prices of 2DS at $99, new 3DS at $129, new 3DS XL at $159, the new 3DS XL is an entirely different thing than old 2DS and the more expensive price is surely justified.

I actually thought there would be a "new 2DS" this year w/ built in NFC since the system is geared towards kids and amiibo are toys, an dwy keep the old chips around just for the 2DS when they are using all new chips in the new 3DS adn new 3DS XL, but w/o the 3D effect Nintendo probably figured it wasn't worth the effort. No XC for 2DS owners, ever.

@Olmectron You know there is an "Amino F2P" coming.?? What will you do then? 😉

I picked up Omega Ruby for $25 from Target...good deal. The last time I bought a Pokemon game was Yellow!

Target says that the Splat&Smash bundle has been discontinued.
