New North American Nintendo Selects Range Emerges in Retailer Listings

When these hit europe I'll finally get 3D World and probably some DK action as well. So make it happen Nintendo!

Looks like Ocarina of Time 3D is getting restocked in America!

Although I already own it if this ever comes to Europe, I'd advise everyone to get DK:TF! For me its still one of the best platformers ever made and at half its original price its a steal!

Nintendo Selects mean one thing - a consoles life cycle is coming to an end.

I love what I've played of DK:TF so will definately pick it up if these travel UK-way, hopefully for £19.99, as the current asking price of £32 is a little much, even though i'm sure the game is worth it.

Hopefully some Wii U selects will come to Europe too.Wind Waker would be a good choice,it's official price is still £49.99.The same as TPHD will cost with an amiibo.Lego City would be nice too.

Finally I can buy Pikmin 3 in a reasonable price because it's over 100$ on amazon or ebay and I wanted to play that game so bad... also Super Mario All Star and Animal Crossing City Folk are on my list! Good to have reprints of these games...

$30 for all of them? That means the 3DS games are barely discounted while super old Wii games are worth as much as Wii U games to Nintendo.

The 3DS selection isn't so great but the Wii U selection is freaking amazing. However, if they're really dropping Mario 3D World down then the Wii U is definitely getting knocked off this year or early next year, unfortunately. Isn't NES Remix Pack already $30 in America? I would guess that they'll go down to $20 for the almighty US buck.

I missed Super Mario All-Stars the first time around. Finally a chance for me to pick it up...if I hadn't just bought a GBA SP...and for the fact that I now own all four games in one way or another, (SMB and SMB3 on Wii VC and on the original NES, SMB2USA on Wii VC, and SMB2J on 3DS VC).

Super Mario all stars on Wii has been $100 in ebay for years so I'll be glad to get one of those

Got most of them, will defo get DKTF when these arrives in EU.

Does anyone know if the digital prices will reflect these prices too? I'm more of a digital guy but I don't mind buying physical if it's the only way.

Oh wait, North American...aww...

Awww, I own all the Wii U games except for NES Remix (and at 30 bucks, it's not much cheaper)

However, if this is true, I'm going for Mario all stars. I recently saw that game in a retro game shop for about $100. I guess it's because it was originally a "limited" release, but that's way too bizarre a price for me.

Please keep in mind that these are Canadian prices. It's most likely $20 in the US.

This better come to Europe because I'm desperate for dk3d , already have it on wii so wasn't prepared to pay full price again so fingers crossed!

I can finally get Pikmin 3 for my collection! I didn't get the Wii U until a year + after its release and some games were hard to find by then. Pikmin 3 is quite expensive to buy so that's a great price for it. I'll probably pick up that and the DK game for 3DS, I don't have that yet. I was hoping NA would get the Star Fox 3D like Europe did. That's another game that is hard to find is expensive to buy.

@Discipledoctor @IAmDeclanJay Why do you say that? Does Nintendo normally launch their Select range of titles near the end of a console's life cycle?

Oh I wonder if Nintendo will put out a patch to close up the hole in OoT 3D that people are able to use to for using the Homebrew.

@AVahne
Those are Canadian dollars. It could only be 20$ in the US.

Pikmin for only £20?! When will they bring that out in the EU.

I'm happy to hear this will give more people a chance to enjoy the wonderful Pikmin 3! My four year old son is actually playing through it again right now & we're both enjoying it all over again, incredible game... I didn't even like it first time I tried it! Enjoy

Better late than never , right?

Will finally leap on Ocarina I think. I own almost all the others.
Thanks for the note about these prices being Canadian, @abbyhitter ! I was ready for a big @rjejr rant.

Well, there's still the Wii releases.

just mario all-stars... i already own the rest.

@MJKOP I had a similar reaction to Pikmin 3 the first time. I liked it, but the whole experience felt off to me. The day/juice framing structure was unusual and I think I'd missed one of the key battle techniques for a long time. But even then it felt just a bit too easy with occasional frustrations anyway. It was just the charm and world that kept me going (and my kids loved it).

Then, I tried the challenges and started figuring it out for real and the second time through was really, really fun!

I can see how that would have gotten through QA and felt really good to those who played it over and over, but the initial experience needed some smoothing out or something.

@FragRed Kind of near so about a year and a half before the new console launches. For example the first wave of Wii Nintendo Selects was in May 2011 meanwhile the Wii U was released in November 2012. So by this logic the 3DS successor would be late 2016 or early 2017 (the first wave of 3DS Nintendo Selects came in October 2015) whereas the Wii U successor would be late 2017 (the first wave of Wii U Nintendo Selects are coming out in March 2016).

All-Stars and DKCR for me, have almost all the rest and I don't want Island Tour or City Folk.

While I have the digital version of Ocarina of Time 3D, I might just grab the cartridge version just to keep it in mint.

Finally, a discounted reprint for Pikmin 3.

Well, any reprint would've been fine, actually!

@IAmDeclanJay

I'm all for Pikmin and Ocarina!

I already own all of these except for Animal Crossing and Mario Party so these deals won't help me much but for those who have yet to play gems like Pikmin 3 and DKC TF this is a superb deal! Why couldn't Wind Waker HD have been part of it? That game is older than DKC TF and I would actually buy that one.

I take super mario all stars and some 3DS titles.

@GH05T That is butt ugly lol.

The only one I don't have that I would want is Galaxy 2 and I can get that now if I wanted on VC with gamepad controls.

YES OCARINA OF TIME

What is Yoshi's New Island doing there?

I might be pick out Animal Crossing since I have only played the 3DS games.

@aaronsullivan Rant about what, the $30 Wii prices? I'm guessing those will be $20 as always after Reggie gets back from his extra long 4 day Presidents weekend.

If you mean a good rant, which sounds oxymoronic, @Grumblevolcano tipped me off last night in his forum thread so I was happy then.

Good to finally see Wii U get some Selects games after nearly 3 1/2 years. I agree w/ those above about this signaling the end of the Wii Us life, but at the same time we've known about NX for a whole year now so no surprise there.

I am kind of surprised to see NES Remix, seems like a waste, but it makes sense as I think Wii Sports was one of the first Wii Selects and I think Nintendo has given up on Nintendo Land as it didn't get a sequel. Pikmin 3 was a lock as an almost launch window title, and there are 3 DLC packs worth $9 so they'll also make a little more money with that one. SM3DW is a surprise choice, I always thought NSMBU would be chosen so they can could sell the DLC Luigi levels, but maybe their being bundled together already ruled that out?

Anyway, glad to see it, now I can shut up about it, even if Lego City Undercover didn't make the cut, it probably wasn't deemed "select" enough. And to all the people telling me Wii U would never get a Select line

Not long now before the red Wii U Mini @Ryno

@GH05T Nintendo have never been the best at designing consoles, but even they could come up with something better than that. But the chances are the NX will be a hybrid so they got that bit right, though that controller is kinda big looking.

Am I the only one who's so picky that I would avoid buying these because on the Nintendo Selects art taking away from the originals art? I hate that I'm so picky about that. Lol. I'll probably get Link Between Worlds and Pikmin 3 though. Great deals.

Also I've been needing to get Tropical Freeze physical so I can free up 11 gigs on my Wii U. I got TF free from Club Nintendo during their last hurrah.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is $15 and Mario Party: Island Tour is $10 on the Nintendo Store website.

By the way, in the US Super Mario Galaxy 2 wasn't already part of Nintendo Selects? Here in Europe it surely is.

Hey....why can't we have DS as well? That baby literally saved Nintendo!

Great, now I can finally buy two games for the price of one! I'm definitely going to be picking up Pikmin 3 and DK: TF.

Good. Now I can finally get Super Mario All Stars

The problem with Nintendo Selects is that I literally have all those games already lol

@Mister_Wu Most Nintendo Selects have been Europe exclusive, NoA probably doesn't like the concept of discounts unless they have to.

i don't have all of those games besides Animal Crossing: City Folk, Mario Party: Island Tour, Donkey Kong Contrary Returns 3D, Super Mario 3D World and lost Super Mario Galaxy 2 (i could always get the digital version)

Nice. I'll probably pick up All-Stars, NES Remix Pack, and OoT3D.

Nice, I will be picking up dkc Tropical Freeze, Pikmin 3, Super Mario All Stars, Animal Crossing next month then! Pikmin 3 and Super Mario All Stars are hard to find for a cheap price, and the rest is just nice to see at a cheaper price! Kinda sucks that Super Mario 3D World will be $30 now considering I just bought that this month for full retail price of $69.99cad, but the game is great and at least worth it

@Grumblevolcano Thanks! This also means that this list of games tells us very little of what we could get in Europe.
Interesting the presence of Super Mario All Stars, since it was initially released as a celebration of the 25th anniversary, with soundtrack and booklet, while here I think there won't be anything other than the game.

I already have most of these, but it's good to see that more people will be able to enjoy the increasingly rare Pikmin 3. As for me, I might get Ocarina 3D at some point.

This is great news! Donkey Kong Country Returns, Super Mario All-Stars and NES Remix Pack are mine!

@rjejr

Lol of course Lego City would be mentioned. Wouldnt be a Rjejr comment without it.

What kind of deal is this?! 30 dollars now? Wasn't some of these Nintendo Selects like Animal Crossing and Super Mario Galaxy 2 20 bucks at one point in time? And that was enticing. But now they bumped up that price and are now selling games that range from 4-2 years old with a ten dollar discount? Please get with the times Nintendo. I'm not buying Ocarina of Time 3D a game that has been out since mid 2011 for ten dollars less. you're 3 years to late for that.

Sure, Super Mario 3D World at 30 bucks sounds nice. I mean the game was originally 60 dollars at one point but that's it. But wasn't Nes Remix 30 bucks when it was first released? Where's the incentive to buy that? I also want to add that if they're going to add Wii titles to this new Nintendo Selects section they are WAY MORE titles that they could re-release and a discounted price at 30 dollars. Not games like Mario Galaxy 2 and Animal Crossing which I'm sure you can find for much lower prices on most online shops.

I just cannot understand why they won't just price their games at 20 bucks. That was right on the money. I remember seeing Smash bros Brawl for 20 bucks and even though I already owned the game, that would've been a hard deal to refuse if I didn't own it. That goes the same for some others games like Mario Galaxy 1 and Pikmin 1-2.

In conclusion, these deals are complete jokes and are kinda insulting to be honest. "let's lower our games by a whooping 10 dollars! That'll reel em in!" No. It won't. You get with the times and slash these prices by 50% or more. I don't care if you believe these games have this unprecedented level of value that simply cannot be matched by other games. They're old. They're not enticing at that price point. And in terms of value, those Wii U games which we all expected to have some kind of online play and doesn't, doesn't exactly scream "value" to me personally.

At $20 USD, I might pick up Mario Party Island Tour. I got Yoshi's New Island for free and it still wasn't worth it!
Also, the eShop better get these price drops, too!

@ColdingLight The price is in Canadian dollars so chances are the US price will be $19.99.

Interested in Pikmin 3 if this ever gets to Europe.

Star Fox 64 3D still won't come down to a decent price...

Getting OoT and DkCR3D

@dominick4
Ocarina already got restocked. Check BestBuy website. You'll see it there.

@Grumblevolcano Well my comment can also apply to Canada as well. And yes, I'm aware the Canadian dollar is more than their US counterpart... For whatever reason. But knowing Nintendo of America and how cheap they can be, I'd be jaw dropped if they did decided to release these games at 20 bucks. But we all know they won't? Why? Cause it's Nintendo. They believe removing 10-12 bucks is a massive deal that cannot be matched. And it's funny, because when I look at other services like Steam or PSN and they discount their games most of the time at 50% or more It just makes me sad to see Nintendo sales being no more than 25%.

Mario All-Stars Yes please. And being Canadian, I have first hand seen the bump in game prices here, so I have little doubt that they will be cheaper than $30 in the US.

If these games will be $20 for the US I will pickup NES Remix that's the only Wii U game that I am missing out of that list, I know I can get it right now on Amazon for $30 but I will wait and see if it has a price drop before spending the extra $10 on it since I done own the first part of Remix as a digital download, and I might pickup another copy of Super Mario All-Stars since my original copy is Still Brand new sealed in the box don't want to lose the collectors value of the 25th anniversary edition.

I would love to pick up pikmin 3! I want the game but I'm not sure about it so this price point is great!

Note: the Tweet and page on their website are both gone....

Mario 3D World and Pikmin 3 for me. The rest I own already.

I already finished 3d world in a friend's house, but it is a nice again to come back to.

I echo the voices arguing about WindWaker not making the list. I'd add Link Between Worlds, Kid Icarus Uprising and some of the Nintendogs titles.

By the way, what were the first 3DS select games, besides Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land?

I'm way too ocd to actually go for these, but we should see the standard versions go down too. I had no idea Pikmin 3 had gone up so much. Guess I'll have to keep my eye on it.

I wish nintendo would have included New Super Mario Bros U in this collection still need to pick up that game, but I refuse to pay $60 for a Wii U launch game in 2016.

@sinalefa Last time though, I'm moving on. It was always about the lack of a Selects line on Wii U, that game was just the most egregious example. Well unless Nintendo adds it to the Selects. Though seeing 6 month old Lego Jurassic World for $15.99 this weekend on PSN makes me think LCU would need to be $15 before I would consider buying it. So $30 coupled with a half price sale. I'm buying Injustice and NFL Blitz later, so I think even the Nindie sale is getting a pass, my loyalties are only to my wallet.

Looks like I'll finally be getting 3D World.

I just got Pikmin 3 for like $80 on Christmas. I hope the original label is still expensive...

@CatMarioTime

Tsk tsk tsk, if you use that kind of language again you'll receive a ban mister.

~Waluigi

@CatMarioTime Those are Canada Prices so hopefully they will be about $20 here in the US.

I wonder if these will go on Amazon and count for the 20% off new games deal. In that case I would know where I would be buying Orcarina of Time 3D and Pikmin 3.

i shall finally have pikmin 3

@FragRed @Discipledoctor Not true, when Nintendo had player's choice games for N64, for example, Super Mario 64 was part of that collection in 1998, 3 years before GameCube was released. Again, on GameCube, Supers Smash Bros. Melee was part of the Player's Choice games in 2003, 3 years before Wii was released. I'm not saying NX will take 3 years to release, but it doesn't necessarily mean anything.

This is the second time it seems that Super Mario All Stars has had an extra life!

I would love it if it gets re-released in Europe.

Some of those seem a bit pricey for how long they been out :s

If this is real, Mario All-Stars and Mario Galaxy 2 for me!

I'll be grabbing Pikmin 3 almost immediately. I'll definitely consider the other games too. This is wonderful news.

Yoshi's new island is a nintendo selects? Surprised for such a mediocre game.

Anyway, it might be time to finally pick up 3D World. I've been wanting to play it since I got the Wii U.

New super Mario bros U???

@ColdingLight The difference in the Canadian dollar compared to the US dollar is the reason for the $10 difference. If it was $30 in the US, it'd be $40 (give or take) in Canada. It will be $20 in the US. Get with the times, ColdingLight.

What a ripoff. I got a couple of those games for free, a $25 gift card with Ocarina of Time, and the NES Remix collection costs $29.99 anyway, so it's not even on sale. DKC on Wii and Animal Crossing on Wii retail for $14.99 used, and Mario Party Island Tour is only $19.99 used. Majora's Mask has been $29.99 at GameStop for 2 weeks now and was $29.99 at Toys R Us weeks ago.

@Aurumonado I would guess the big difference here is the game will not come with the book and possibly the soundtrack CD that came with the original released version on Wii?

@JH64 yea, actually now that you mention it, why is that game so do price and not a Nintendo select too?!?

@Spoony_Tech You can play SM Galaxy 2 using Game Pad Controls? I didn't know that, I thought it was Wiimote/nunchuck only?

I don't know if this is real, The boxcovers have the pre-2013 ESRB logos and Animal Crossing: Cuty Folk's boxart still has the Nintendo WiFi Connection Logo.

Nintendo Selects are pretty much a must if Nintendo expects to sell games in Canada with the dollar making new releases far too expensive to entice most people at this point.

@IAmDeclanJay Well, I guess we can put 3DS on that list, too, then, perhaps NX is that hybrid people assume it is.

Nice to see All-Stars out of its Club Nintendo-only status.

It's interesting to see that they're going to release Wii Games in this year considering that Codename NX is close to being revealed. It's a bit clear that Nintendo has stock that they need to clear.

I think I"ll get Pikmin 3 and Super Mario All-Stars

Why the hell are they charging anything above 5 dollars for Super Mario All Stars? It is literally the SNES game with a 20 dollar price tag slapped on it. I can't believe anyone would buy that over priced crap.

All-Stars while nice to have available is just not worth it. Last I checked it's missing 240p support that every SNES VC has, it also has a darkened image. I believe it also has deflicker in progressive mode so it looks blurry and there's no way to change it.

@Ootfan98 Well I'm not sure but I thought you could. I don't have either on VC though so can't confirm that.

Well I guess you were right. That's what I get for assuming I guess.

@Chaoz I couldn't agree more. I have the Wii version of All-Stars & it's not worth the disc its printed on imo.
Other than that some good choices here, although it would've been hilarious if Nintendo chose duds like Mario Tennis Ultra Smash & AC Amiibo Festival as their selects! Just for the outrage alone! Lol

Will likely get super mario all stars just to own it.

The good thing is the price drop, the bad thing is that this makes it hell for those of us who like collecting games and don't have even one of these yet

I'm very happy to see these titles get more printings at reduced prices! This gives me a chance to finally pick up Super Mario Galaxy 2. It's one of my favorite games of all-time but I only played through it due to borrowing it from a friend. I'll also pick up Pikmin 3 and, maybe, NES Remix Pack. If they end up being twenty bucks, then all the better!

As hard as I looked and fought for Ocarina of Time 3D I feel like kicking myself.

The more I look at the image, the more I'm inclined to believe that this is fake. The images are terribly edited. The box art isn't scaled properly, and some games have two ratings (and you can see an RP rating for Pikmin 3!).

Why on earth would Nintendo reprint City Folk and sell it as a Nintendo Select when we have New Leaf? Especially when the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection has been discontinued?

Sorry, guys, I'm not buying this. It's a fake, unfortunately.

@ToniK 3D World is amazing, hope you get the chance to play it.

@dominick4 I heard it had quiet restocks a few months ago.

Hmmm. I have all these except for Mario Party: Island Tour (I have it digitally tough). Fabulous seeing All-Stars make the cut for the fans that missed it the first go.

I'd recommend Tropical Freeze and Pikmin 3 to those Americans! They are two of the best Wii U games. Also, Ocarina of Time 3D is hard to resist, it was my first 3DS purchase.

It's weird to see Super Mario All Stars Wii which is the same as the SNES version. I wonder when will it appear on the Virtual Console (the SNES version!). Imagine that Nintendo releases now the Wii port digitally for 20 euros and not the SNES version for 8 euros!! Also, the SNES games play directly on Wii U menu. That would be... :S

I was really considering buying Pikmin 3 and now I can get it for half price.

@Spoony_Tech ah, you got my hopes up there 😀

@Yoshi don't be a dank meme

@Yoshi pikmin 3 has the e rating on it you must missed looked

@andrew20 Reread what I said, and take a look at the box art. It has an E rating AND an RP rating.

@CatMarioTime Sorry, I had to face the facts on this one. On the bright side, if this is true, then I'd be pleasantly surprised.

You'd think Wind Waker HD would be a selects title along with these.

@rjejr Hahaha, the minute I heard this was happening I thought of you. Glad you are happy. I only hope they expand it, just so you can be even happier! Do you think when they get around to adding more in 18 mos/2 years they will add Splatoon, Mario Maker, MK8, and Smash, or are those just wild fantasies? It's such a hard time selling those games at work because even after all this time they are still full price.

@TheLobster "will add Splatoon, Mario Maker, MK8, and Smash"

Good question. which I don't think can even ask until we know if NX is b/c w/ Wii U or not, and how long Wii U lasts. If Wii U gets cut off - see Japan stock issues the past few weeks - then no point having a budget line unless NX can play them. But if Ntinedo writes it off w/ NX and builds a PS4/Xbox One sibling and keep sa Wii U Mini around, then a select line makes sense.

And I have no idea what NX is - 4DS, Wii U 2, PS4 1/2. But I wouldn't hold my breath for those marque games seeing a price cut. Though I did buy SSBM along w/ my $99 Gamecube when it hit $30, along w/ Luigi's Mansion, Super Mario Sunshine and Starfox Adventures for $20 watch, so I won't rule it out.

Maybe grumble can keep this thread going - he thought of me too

https://www.nintendolife.com/forums/wii-u/nintendo_selects_na_edition_3ds_wii_wii_u

Wow, I just purchased a brand new copy of Ocarina of Time 3D at best buy and opened it before I read this! This would have saved me $10.......and I was so proud of finding it in a store too.

$29.99... what happened to them only being $20?

Sorry, but I already have the one game on that list that I want (Super Mario 3D World).

I will certainly but Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D. I jumped on the news for a 15€ Mario Land 3D who is 45€ in supermarket currently -_-, but it is sadly the WiiU version.

I might get Ocarina 3D too just as homebrew/region free assurance if it still works with this reprint. I still have my grey cartridge after all. ^^

I was not expecting Wii games reprints. o_o Is noone more surprised?

So we are making a big deal about a title (Animal Crossing: City Folk) that I purchased as a Nintendo Select almost three years ago? At least some Wii U games are finally being moved.

Ocarina of Time 3D for less then $50?! Amazing!

Super Mario All Stars is being rereleased at practically the same price as the SKU released over 5 years ago, except now you don't get the collector's box, booklet, commemorative case and music CD. With just the ROM dump on a disc with no supplementary materials, it's even more of a rip-off than the last package.

Meh, nothing special on this list aside from OoT 3D and maybe Galaxy 2. Pretty sad that this is the best this gen has to offer.

@IAmDeclanJay
Yup. Say goodbye to the original wii.

Might just get OoT. We'll see.

Animal Crossing is only showing up available because this represents a 2nd run of the Nintendo Selects release of it for the Wii. It was one of the first 4 titles in the then new Nintendo Selects line in May 2011.

glad to see both Mario Galaxy 1&2 became a Nintendo select. That gives them all the more reason to make a 3. I'd rather have a Super Paper MarioU tho

@Ootfan98 Mine is Wii mote only

This is great, definitely hoping this does end up being the nintendo selects being made. I will definitely be picking up LOZ:OOT 3DS, and Super Mario Allstars for the Wii. With Super Mario Allstars and OOT being at $35USD for the used versions, I'm looking forward to this.

I'm just happy about DK:TF and Pikmin 3 finally being discounted

They need to localize the New Play Control Wii version of Chibi-Robo and release it as a select title. It isn't even costly to do because all they have to do is copy the english text from the gamecube version. I would get that if they did.
All these other Select titles I either have or don't want. Hopefully a Pikmin 3 rerelease means Pikmin 4 is coming to the WiiU.

I'd love to see these prices on the eShop. I've been wanting to replace my disc copies of SM3DW and Pikmin 3 with digital copies.

Wonderful to see Pikmin 3 get a reprint. That game has been full price on the used market forever. Outstanding game.

So I'll be able to get Pikmin 3 for twenty bucks?! Score!

Yeah probably about 20 bucks in the States. When the Canadian dollar was better than the US we saw no price drops but soon as it goes down we pay more. Filthy scumbags.

@renaryuugufan92 Yes, along with Ocarina of Time 3D that it is discounted.

I am wondering when will Nintendo release Super Mario All Stars (SNES) on the Virtual Console... 2035?

@VanillaLake The answer is never. Why release All-Stars when you have people purchase each game individually?

@Smash_kirby Oot 3D came out before Nintendo released an update allowing 3DS games to be patched or updated with DLC.

@Pichuka97 I remember reading that Nintendo designed the 3DS games to be updated at any point. I might've been wrong but I do remember reading that.

Weren't people complaining about Super Mario All Stars Wii when it first came out? Now people want the game

Why would nintendo re-release AC:CF when we can't play online annymore!?!? The multi is a huge component of all AC games. Might as well just re-release the original AC for the GCN.

That image is so terribly edited it's hilarious.

@Grumblevolcano @Discipledoctor @IAmDeclanJay Actually the Wii was discontinued in October 2013, so that makes the release of Selects two and a half years before the end of Wii. The Player's Choice line for GameCube was released in 2003 while the GCN was discontinued in 2007. The timing of this Selects is not a real indicator if the imminent demise of the Wii U. The real indicator was announced last year when the NX was announced.

@FragRed This is not an indicator. Read my comment above.

@dominick4 theres a bunch of it at my local best buy, the one thats closest to my house...

at least I think its there, like 5+ copys.

So now all the original labels will be worth more.I guess

@Dark-Link73 Not really, you consider the end of a console as the release date of its successor rather than when the console is discontinued.

@PowerStar Wow, that's what it's going for these days? Resellers are gross. :S
But as someone who bought it when it was in stores, I can say it would be more worth it at that "Selects" price (which was its launch price, I think)! Worth it for that SNES Lost Levels alone, in my opinion (some will disagree, due to how it plays a bit differently).

That's awesome, especially since Ocarina is out of print and people were asking stupid money for it.

@Mogster Tropical Freeze is a great platformer, it's hard but in a very fair way.

Finally! I can buy Pikmin 3 and Ocarina of time at a reasonable price! I also might grab all stars finally.

@Grumblevolcano You can't view the end of a console when the next one is released if it is still in production AND is still being supported. Look at the PS2, that sucker was still in production and games were made for it 6 years into the Wii/PS360 console generation! The end of a console is when production has stopped and when support has ended. So for that matter the Wii hasn't ended yet because Activision keeps on making games for it.

Just because you might move away from a console and is dead to you when the new one comes out, that doesn't mean the console has ended. Maybe to you perhaps, but not for the gaming business world.

@Splatburst
Oh...right.
That'd be great then!
Well, the Wii U games are still way more of a discount at that price, so I'll be aiming for those first.

Now that I am looking at the picture again, I do have to say it does look likely that it is fake. The game choices are questionable and most oft he sources have been taken down. Plus, the image is pretty basic looking. The only reason I believed it originally is because, well, why would someone even want to make something fake like this? The only reason I could think is for publicity purposes. I'll just order Super Mario Galaxy 2 off of amazon for twenty bucks, not a big deal.

@World I was actually at that same shop recently. It's still there for exactly $125! I wouldn't call them gross though, they're just charging what everyone else is on eBay.

They actually have really fair prices on everything else. Just bought Pokemon Snap from them for $15.

I would like a reprint of Pikmin 2 Wii please.

Only 2 of Rumor Price Drops going Buy these 2 if True
Pikmin 3 and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze

have been thinking about 3D World for a while now (and to a lesser degree Pikmin 3 too) but didn't get them yet because of all the other games I want to play or am already playing (god knows Smash & Splatoon sure can eat up a lot of your free time ).

but if this comes to Europe, I'm getting both 3D World and Pikmin 3 instantaneously
