Update:
A kind European tipster (PtM) has pointed out that Nintendo Land is also going to be part of this range in mainland Europe, though evidently not in the UK.
Original Article:
In recent times Nintendo of America has confirmed a handsome expansion to its Nintendo Selects range (due to launch on 11th March), while last year Nintendo of Europe added some excellent 3DS titles into its range. Now we have more discount titles heading to Europe, this time focused solely on Wii U.
The expanded range will land in European stores on 15th April and feature five releases (which comprise of six games); there are some excellent options.
- New Super Mario Bros. U + New Super Luigi U
- Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
- Wii Party U
- The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD
- LEGO City: Undercover
When these land in stores on 15th April they'll also be reduced (or arrive for the first time) on the eShop - they'll cost €24,99 / £19.99 to download.
Are any of you in Europe planning to pick these up? Let us know!

Super Bros U will be on my list, but playing TP HD at the mo, so wont be buying it for a while
Lego City for me Ivthink. Been pondering this one for a long time, should be a good one to play with the kids
Already have all those games, but get Lego City if you can. That game is a true, if a bit overlooked, gem.
@conman2012 Lego City: Undercover is a single player game. It uses both the Gamepad and the TV (in great ways, make sure to have the Gamepad audio turned on). However, everything about that game is fantastic, except the loading times when a new world is loading. It's by far the best LEGO game.
Lego City Undercover digitally, finally! I already own the others.
Edit:
I may get Wii Party U also. I don't have that one yet.
So I better get DK Tropical Freeze soon before the original release becomes hard to get.
May also get Lego City, not too bothered bout that one's cover.
crap, just got Wind Waker HD xD
Tropical Freeze!!!
Yep, have them all except for lego city. I'll pick that one up for sure!
@jariw Cheers, but no worries, hes under four and usually is happy to watch and let me "drive" (the controller).
Ive been waiting for a good lego game, which means this and/or the upcoming star wars
Never got Luigi as it went up from 14,99 to 19,99. If it's back down to its Year-of-Luigi launchprice I'm gonna get it, along with LEGO City.
Wii Party still seems like too much as you won't get a free Wiimote with it. I doubt it will be cheaper than the last time it was on sale.
Already have Mario, Zelda, and DK.
Might get Donkey Kong at that price.
Lego City I think for me!
Hoho! Will probably be getting all of these, aside from WWHD which I already own. Especially excited about Lego City as I've never found it for a reasonable price.
Would be great if they would finally put Ocarina of Time 3D on that list!
Are the eshop prices permanent??
Was hoping Pikmin would be included in this... Might get Lego though.
Finally some discounts in Europe already!
I already have these, apart from Wii party U, and to be honest most Wii u owners should too. Great for anyone who doesn't though. I do wonder how people can complain about a lack of games for Wii u and not have these already though
Tropical Freeze? NSMBU and NSLU? Friggin' Wind Waker?
Whew, after the morning I just had, let's just say some good news were needed indeed.
I will be picking up wind waker HD, I've been undecided about whether to get that or Twilight Princess, but this solves the problem for me nicely!
Good prices for DKC, Lego City and the two 'New Bros' games on one disc
I've only not got Lego City and Luigi U out of those 6. I'll wait until when/if Luigi U goes on a discount on its own, though I'm glad LCU is finally slashed down in price. If they restock that it could lead to a good surge in sales, £20 is great value from what I hear it offers in comparison to a lot of other Lego games recently.
Already got all of them. Great games.
LOLing at the people paying £40+ for Mario/Luigi on eBay. But I guess they'll all comfort themselves that they've got original box art - whatevs!
Lego City is for me - I was watching an eBay auction last night for this, but when it went over £30 I ducked out, so a Selects copy for £20 will do just fine. I have all the others.
@RainbowGazelle
Man that avatar. I love it!
Everybody! Buy lego city if you haven't already, an amazingly fun and funny game.
@Tsurii What's so bad about Wii Part U? I think it's an awesome multiplayer game.
Got them all but Lego City Undercover, so I'll finally buy that
Any word on Luigi dlc Being reduced?
Any word on Luigi dlc Being reduced?
I haven't been able to find Lego City Undercover in ages. I thought they stopped producing it. So I take it this means it'll be retail also?
Need to rebuy DK Tropical Freeze after my disc died, so I'm hyped for this!
If NSMBU is in a double pack with Luigi U then I will buy that as well.
@FragRed Yes. All Nintendo selects Range include new box art and a brand new print run, meaning that you will find the game on store shelves.
So... Europe gets Wind Waker HD in the selects, but us North American gamers will not. That's not FAIR 😢 😞 😭 😭 I want to get WWHD but it's $59.99, USED... Which is how much I paid for TPHD brand new with amiibo included. What gives, Nintendo of America? Let me buy it for less already lol
Pikmin 3 needs to go on this list, and Need for Speed: Most wanted
@conman2012 Lego City is easily the best Lego game. It's hilarious.
I'll grab LEGO City Undercover.
I think i get New Bros. Lego City Undercover is great. Long loading times and quite bad framerate but it's still easily best Lego game i have ever played.
Does anybody know if these will be coming to Australia as well?
Man, I was hoping for SM3DW, but I'll probably pick up LC:U
OOOHHHH, I only have Wind Waker out of that lot. Count me a happy punter
It's nice to see Nintendo launching selects in all regions. North America has a really strong lineup but I can't understand why they included Wii games? What's the point of that? Kinda weird if you ask me. I wonder if more waves of selects will come in the future?
@LCM If they dont' come to OZ, you could always import them from Europe. I believe it's the same region, no?
@Nintendofan83 oh yea forgot about that! thanks
Damn! I want discounted Lego city. It is still 49.98 here at Walmart and I have been holding off. If it drops here I will take the plunge. But since it is single player only I cannot eat 50 bucks.
No Pikmin 3 as in NA... too bad. Already bought Wind Waker back in Christmas.
I'll probably pick up Tropical Freeze, which I should have gotten a long time ago...
Absolutely fantastic, I'll probably get tropical freeze and or wind waker HD
@Splatburst Thanks!
@Andyliini I think I will do just that! 👍
Finally I will play Wind Waker in HD
@InternetBowser Tropical Freeze is so good, go for it
This is good news! There's some great games there which have been hard to find for a reasonable price lately. I sold my Wind Waker a while ago and just bought it again using a voucher for £30 - I'm glad I have it in the original packaging though. My nephew got a Wii U for Christmas. I'm definitely getting him Lego City Undercover for his birthday.
@sinalefa I think this is concrete proof Reggie hates me.
So when the article says "confirmed" does that mean this is being marketed? Sale prices start tomorrow but I haven't seen anything actually promoting it in the US. Selects werent even mentioned in the Nintendo Direct. I guess it would make sense to wait until tomorrow though for signs in stores. We'll see.
And once again Nintendo needs to literally get it together and market these games on both sides of the Atlantic, this makes no sense to have 2 almost entirely different sets of Select games.
Glad I live in NA, already own the ones I want that are being discounted here.
Tropical Freeze and Wind Walker for me. Maybe Lego City Undercover also. Sad they left Super Mario 3D World out.
I got all of them except for LEGO city. So I'll take that one.
I have three of them what about dk on 3ds? That not going in selects range? Desperate for it!😂
I will take lego city (finally!), got all the others except Wii Party.
Pity they didnt bring out any wii titles, PIKMIN 2 is so hard to get in Europe.
@rjejr I knew you'd be a bit annoyed about Lego City Undercover only being a Nintendo Select in EU.
@Andrzej777 Agreed. I've been trying to get it as a Birthday present for my brother for months now.
@RainbowGazelle They do:
http://store.nintendo.co.uk/games-wii-u/pikmin-3/10848310.html
It says "Add to Basket" which means it's in stock.
@Grumblevolcano I thought you meant Pikmin 2.
@RainbowGazelle Well I thought @Andrezej777 was meaning Pikmin 3 as I didn't see the part about Wii titles.
I got all of those at launch; still haven't played Wind Waker, but I'm going to tackle Ocarina of Time first (still hoping we see an enhanced Majora's Mask, but I'll settle for the VC version if not).
Aside from New Mario and Wii Party, I'll grab all! Id like 3D World and Pikmin 3 too but it's a good start.
Lego City for sure, been wanting to buy it for a long time, but trying to avoid paying full price for it
Slightly mean that the Christmas sale had Tropical Freeze for £30 when they must have known this selects range would be launching with the cost now £20. Didn't pick it up though, so might now.
I got Wind Weaker at full price last week :S
And I was tempted to buy Donkey Kong too and now I'm glad I didn't.
So DK for me..
And why no SM3DW in Europe?! why Nintendo???!!!
I was planning on getting New Super Mario Bros. U + New Super Luigi U at some point, so I'll jump on it at that price.
Finally I'm gonna buy DK Country: TP on Wii U. Hell Yeah!
Dank kongs frosty tropical herbs must buy
Will get Lego and finally replay Windwaker.
Wii Party U is great fun in the right circumstances.
Finally! There are way too few Nintendo Select titles.
I also wanted to get Wii Party U and Nintendoland, but for a decent price (15-20€) and as a download title. Now I can at least get one of them from the eshop.
And Lego City Undercover is also worth it for that price.
You get Wind Waker, and we get Pikmin 3.
sounds like a fair deal
Man, if only Lego City Undercover joined the lineup in the US...
Dang, I'd download NSMBU and Lego City for that price without a second thought. I hope a second wave hits NA before too terribly long.
I was really looking forward to Mario 3D World but I'll take Tropical Freeze. Wind waker is a great addition but I already have it.
No WW discount in NA!?!? Hrmmmm...
I only have DK and NSMB so I'm happy and will be more happy if Wii Party U comes with a remote 😬
MMM I could get me some NSMBU!
The only thing I don't like about this kind of re-releases is that they change the packaging and really make you feel like you're cheap XD
The ugliness of the European PSP best hits or what were they called is burned in my eyes forever. They came in orange and black polka dots...
Not a bad range! As a North American, I would gladly love to also have Wind Waker HD as a Nintendo Selects option.
Wish they added WInd Waker HD to the NA list, i'd get it just to have it, and i don't even have a Wii U.
I'm a little jealous of Lego City. America's Nintendo Selects are great games, and I'm glad people will be able to get Pikmin and 3D World at reduced prices, but of all the Wii U games getting discounted, the only one I don't have is NES Remix Pack, which was already a budget priced game at $30. Lego City Undercover is one of few Nintendo (technically 2nd party) games I want but don't have on the Wii U, and it's also one of few games that has gone up in price since release ($50 to $63 on Amazon).
Lego City Undercover for me got the other games already.
Wow I have been wanting Wind Waker HD for a long time and now it seems I will finally be able to do so! Great price right there!
@arronishere LEGO City Undercover was great. LEGO Batman 3 was rather disappointing, and the PC version (at least the one I have) runs horribly and is full of bugs. And I couldn't enjoy it. But City was great in every way; the only bad part is the loading times.

Looks like I was beaten to saying that I'll be getting Lego City for £19.99. I'll definitely get it digitally as that game is an absolute gem. Woop woop.
Obviously I already have the others. 😀
Are the Lego City load times better for the digital version vs the disk?
@rjejr
You are as cheap as you are stubborn
Funny thing is that reading the first line of your comment and the title of the article was enough to know it was LCU.
Wind Waker , tropical freeze and Luigi for me... Yahoo
New Super Luigi U for me, I've got all the other ones when they were full price. Just have to wait for pre-ordering to start.
I am a tad disappointed that Super Mario All Stars isn't part of that list but never mind, perhaps it sells better in the U.S.
@sinalefa I knew you'd know.
@InternetBowser I prefer the Snomads over the Tikis in Returns, no Kremlings sadly! I loved the original DKC SNES trilogy so I was delighted with Returns on Wii, and Tropical Freeze is even better, in my opinion.
I'm glad that in NA we got SMG and SMG2 in the selects, I didn't get any of those 2 for Wii. Now I can see if they are as good as people say!
