Nintendo of Europe Unveils Over 40 Discounts for eShop 5 Year Anniversary Sale

only virtual console ?

such a disappointement, oh well, I have 3 path of Fire Emblem Fates to go through, I'll do without.

My wallet felt relieved when I read "Nintendo of Europe". It'd be nice to have this sale in America, though.

There's 4 games I'll be grabbing and maybe Child of Light too as I'm never sure if it's worth a punt or not.

@Kokusho Oh man! Do you remember that amazing SNES game called FAST Racing Neo? Me neither.

Very nice. Pockets will be emptied. I'll pick up a few Wii U VC games.

Oh, so the SNES games don't even get a discount on the New 3DS? I was actually considering buying Earthbound again, even though it's stupid those titles aren't crossbuy. I'm just not likely to finish it on the Wii U.

So no free 3ds games?
I'll be buying some of these games anyway.

Already picked out several I want; Fast Racing Neo, DK64 and the 2 NES Remixes to name but a few.

@Kokusho: Here are the games discounted that are not Virtual Console.

So no, not only Virtual Console *facepalm

I think I'll get Mario 64,I was going to use my gold points on it but at that price I might as well buy it and hope that Nintendo add something other than discounts for me to spend them on.Galaxy 2 is also tempting,I've got it on my Wii but it's packed away now.I just started replaying 3D World and I'm actually enjoying and appreciating it more than I did the first time.

Sweet!

40 games sounded so much, but despite having about 50 items on my wish list, only 3 are on sale Better than nothing I suppose

Those are what the regular prices should be, honestly. Also, they are pushing their luck by only discounting SNES games on Wii U, expecting New 3DS owners to be suckers.

@Chunky_Droid be fair, there's only about 20 non-VC games, very easy to miss

@jump Child of Light is excellent, well worth playing

Japan has a sale similar to this, but there are a lot more titles. There are games like MGS3D and LoZOoT3D that are 35% off.

Nothing for me, already have everything I want to own from the sale.

So sad to know I already have most of those. Cries

Since its 2 weeks long, don't suppose there's a chance of them adding more on the 2nd week to match Japan's 100 discounts, right?

@VanillaLake I agree for the Virtual Console titles, but better than the absolute bargain of being reduced from £49.99 to £39.99 like they've done in the past for some of their retail games. Totally greatly reduced prices!

Got some leftover money on the eShop so will pick up Earthbound.

As usual.. Ice Climber is not on sale.

Whats the difference between the 2 oracle games?

Going to pick up the ones I don't have!

@ThomasBW84 Do I get to blame you if I don't like it?

A North American equivalent to this (and Japan's) sale would be nice. We'll see...

@Zanark They're two different games with a password system that links them after you beat them. And they're both 2D Zeldas, so some mechanics are shared.

@Zanark Both games are completely different. In Ages, you travel between Past and Presence and in Seasons you can change the Seasons, both in order to solve a lot of puzzles. Each game leads you to different lands that are in danger of a different villain. In Ages, Nayru plays a key role and in Seasons you'll meet Din.
What connects the games, is that there's some evil force that ordered both attacks, and you'll face it once you beat both games (and connected them via Passwords)

@OorWullie I absolutely love 3d world

Holy crud, there are actual Ntineod games on sale, it's not just a list of RMXDAX games.

I really don't get Nitneod charging for the PTC game. They must make literally a Billion $ on Pokemon cards, they can't give that app away for free? Free on IOS, Android, PC, charge on their own console? ???

And the Pokedex 3D at $15 was always WAY too much. And the over priced $15 PRO app NEVER even got the X+Y Pokemon. Anything they charge for that is overpriced. It's not only not PRO, it's hardly even relevant now. With Moon and Sun it will be even less relevant.

Metroid Prime Trilogy is $10 for 3 games, why can't they have other packages and games priced like that? SMG1+2 maybe?

If this makes it's way to the US I will pick up DK64, been meaning to buy that anyway ahead of Yooka-Laylee as I've never played any of Rare's games, and I'm not holding my breath for Banjo-Kazooie. And probably Dillon's Rolling Western.

@jump @Freeon-Leon @Rutana
Thanx. Guess i will be playing lots of zelda the coming weeks.

@jump I don't know what you like but, for me, Child of Light was a nice bite-sized RPG with enjoyable gameplay mechanics and just enough depth to be fun and involving. It has a somber but beautiful tone that errs on the side of melancholy. The artwork and music are well-crafted and set it completely apart from other games. I don't have time to play long-term RPGs so it was a perfect fit.

@ThomasBW84 I understand, but my pocket cannot reward this no cross-buy and only discounts on the unpopular Wii U console thing. In my opinion, Nintendo should consider many things other than money if they want to make people happier and eventually get more money from them. I was even thinking of finally giving Earthbound a chance, but the version I wanted is the portable, so they are not getting €10 but €0 from me now.

If I did not already have them, I'd gladly purchase DK64 for €5 and Metroid Prime Trilogy for €10, and some other games too. These discounted prices feel just right and not abusive like the regular ones, when compared to the other digital stores.

@rjejr If you can get your hands on Banjo Kazooie it's a much, much better game than DK 64. At least that's the way I remember it. If you like a ton of backtracking and collecting a gajillion little items (I think traversing each level 5 times?), then DK 64 is the way to go.

Metroid Prime Trilogy is seriously great stuff but unfortunately that franchise is on life support so I guess reminding people how great it can be is always worth a big discount.

I have a bunch of games I haven't installed yet from the humble bundles and so many unfinished games... sales mean very little. But the wait to NX (information) will be much easier!

Such a shame that I already own all the ones that I want from both lists. All the games that I want from the lists have been on sale before, so that's when I got them.

@Zanark In short, Oracle of Seasons is a bit shorter and easier (or less confusing).

Typical that I already have most of these, but I might get Super Mario 64. Have held out on getting it since I have the N64 version in mint condition, but I might as well get it again. Shame there isn't more "big" games on here, though.

It might be only Virtual Console, but this is still unreal to me. I'll probably pick up at least Super Metroid and A Link to the Past, I'm playing Zero Mission for the first time and I'm greatly enjoying it, hopefully Super is the same too, if not better!

@VanillaLake Nintendo has sold way more wiiu's than "new" 3ds's

@faint Yes, that's right. I think my subconscious mixed 3DS and New 3DS.

@aaronsullivan @rjejr Absolutely right. DK64 is the worst N64 platformer made by Rare, while Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie and Conker's Bad Fur Day are all awesome, although I prefer the Banjo games. The problem with DK64 is that the camera is terrible and if you want to 100% it like I did you are going to suffer some cruel and unfair challenges. For €5 is okay though, just remap the camera to front buttons (X Y) and not to the right stick, this way the camera controls a bit better.

For anyone that has the chance, you should play Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie (Conker's Bad Fur Day too, for mature audiences). Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie are my favourite 3D platformers ever. All these Rare games (and more) are included in Rare Replay (Xbox One), if you are on the fence.

Metroid Prime need a WiiMote?

I'd recommend getting SMT4, if you have 14337 blocks to spare (seriously, that game is AWESOME)

@ThomasBW84 Thanks for writing the prices in both £ and €. So SMB3 is cheaper than the other two in UK?

Super Mario Bros. - £2.19 (was £4.49) / €2.49 (was €4.99)
Super Mario Bros. 2 - £2.19 (was £4.49) / €2.49 (was €4.99)
Super Mario Bros. 3 - £1.69 (was £3.49) / €2.49 (was €4.99)

A couple of things I might pick up, though I do have many of these titles already. Some great titles on there though. Push it at E3, Nintendo!

@ThomasBW84 REALLY appreciate the links in that article. Makes deciding whether to pick up easier.

I'll be picking up 5 games I guess 7 if you count Metroid trilogy as 3 games

Seems to me that this is the correct price for at least the VC games. I don't have so much interest in the list though...

didnt japan get something like over 100 games discounted?
not really anything amazing but I guess if you dont have any of these yet its better than nothing

Man, if Earthbound was discounted on the 3DS virtual console I'd buy it in a heart beat. Oh well, lots of other discounts that take my interest. Fast Racing Neo, Kirbys Adventure 3D, Gunman Clive. Looks like I'll be earning myself some gold points.

@crazycrazydave Yeah.

Finally getting Dillon's Rolling Western! Any thoughts on that game?

I think I will pick up the 3 zelda gameboy games on 3ds, after that I think I already own most of the list.

@GammaPhonic Same here, I would pick up the New 3DS version if it was discounted.

@ThomasBW84 OK.

@Tsurii I have almost everything and what I don't I'm not really interested in. I expected some retail games to appear, too, but not with a ridiculous discount, like @crazycrazydave said.

My prophecy seems to be true: one day after the Yooka-Laylee "focusing on Wii U" update, we have more good news in the European sale form. What will be tomorrow's good news?

@aaronsullivan NX, what's that? I kind of remember hearing something about it, but it mustn't be important b/c E3 is next week and nobody is talking about it.

I know DK64 isn't that good, too much collecting, but I don't plan on getting any Xboxen, so what choice do I have? Surely it's worth $5? And until I get a PS4 what else do I have to do? Thank goodness for those humbe nindie bundles, finished up Shante Pirate Curse, playng Guacamelle now, like Shantae, but better. Was watching 3 CW superhero tv shows but they all ended last week, so plenty of free time now. Was planning on watching the Mets all summer, but I have to wait 2 months for them to get healthy.

I get my Wii U back this week and I wanted fast racing neo😊

@VanillaLake Thanks. I don't 100% anything. Ever. I just play thru once. Even some of those really good Yoshi Wooly World levels I wanted to replay I never did, I just move on. Ever forward. So if I get a few hours for DK64 for $5 I'm good. Never had a N64, just want to see some of it in action.

Great selection of games in there! Unfortunately for me I already have everything on that list that I want!

@rjejr For €5 is a good deal. Perhaps you could consider getting an Xbox (Rare Replay) instead of a PS? Unless of course you prefer the PS exclusives, I don't know what your preferences are.

Good selection, but i have most of what i want.

Of all those discounts I'm missing only 4 games: FAST RACING NEO which will get for sure, and the three N64 games (Ocarina of Time, Super Mario 64, Donkey Kong 64) since my original console and games are boxed away.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid Prime Trilogy can't be missed for just 10€ either, but I have them on disc.

I'm hoping this eventually comes to the US, since I've been thinking about getting FAST Racing Neo. I would buy it right away with the sale!

@Tsurii I also expected Animal Crossing New Leaf to appear, as it was included in the Japanese anniversary, if I'm not wrong. Oracle of Ages/Seasons are both good but I prefer Link's Awakening and The Minish Cap. Anyway, at that price, all Zelda games come recommended. I remember that GBC games were quite expensive back in the day.

@BensonUii tell that to resident evil 4!!!

@VanillaLake I don't play any FPS, sports games or racing games. Only 3D platformers, JRPG and action games. And kid games with my wife and kids - Skylanders etc. Xbox has never held any interest to me, I'll be getting a PS4 for Uncharted 4 and Ratchet and Clank and FFXV, which I know I can get on an Xbox, but it's a PS game to me. I'm not sure what Ntinedo could do to talk me into an NX at this point, but I'm hoping. My kids will probably get one for Pikmin 4, and I'll play that, but that's what kids are for.

Think Ninty need to have a look at PS Store to see how a sale should be done!!

My bias for Kirby's Adventure knows no bounds, and while I could recommend the NES version easily, the 3D Classics version made enough changes, like the removal of sprite flickering and slowdown, to make it an easier recommendation, even if you're playing on a 2DS.

Kind of let down with this sale. Other than Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid Prime Trilogy. Not a whole lot of meat in these offerings.

These are some wonderful choices. I hope it comes to NA!

So...any chance of this coming to America?

@eltomo @BensonUii Hopefully. By the way, I think RE4Wii plays great with Wii Remote.

@rjejr Alright.

@BensonUii That's what I assumed! I brought it for off tv play with the gamepad, but can't get it to work, have spoke with Nintendo and they were no help!

So... bar Metroid Prime Trilogy for £8.99, there's nothing worth getting. Just old games that should be these prices as standard.

Big anniversary sale? Humm.. VC and Indies.. Cool...

I've already got most of them but could be one or two too pick up.

Steam has deals like this every day. Also, the virtual console games should be that price normally.

That's great! :] I'll definitely pick some up.

N/A please!

Sales like these are a great opportunity to grab some MyNintendo gold at a discount (you get gold coins based on the original price, before the discount), so I hope we get this here!

@SmaMan I was thinking the samething, then I remember that my nintendo is crap right now.

Looks like regular prices for European games to me, and only Virtual Console games, looks like my wallet can rest easy for the time being

I hope they do this on the NA eshop as well, some solid titles that I would like to pick up like pokemon trading card game along with a few others.

As someone who's never played any metroid game, and is interested in the franchise, is the metro is prime trilogy a good place to start? And are the games even worth it?

@BranJ0 Super Metroid is definitely the best place to start. Btw, I envy you, I wish I could play it as new again

@Nin10doh But hey, once they come out with a reward that's not crap, you'll have all the coins in the world to throw at it.

@SmaMan Provided its between now and 6 months otherwise poof. I have over 1.2k platinum, fewer gold, but I'm not too willing to shell out more money for gold coins just to lose them. My Nintendo with no good rewards coupled with point expiration actually is making some savvy shoppers not buy many games initially because of it.

@BensonUii You know if metroid can be played a gamepad or classic controller?

This sale is clearly based on the best selling eshop only games* (including vc) which is why retail releases are excluded. However because it is based on the best selling games, most of us lot have most of the ones we want.

It is a shame galaxy 1 wasn't discounted as galaxy 2 has outsold it due to the length of time it has been available and the launch discount.

*Shovel Knight being a notable exception.

The sun is shining... so it's a perfect time to close the curtains, complete my Mario and Zelda collections, and do some serious retro gaming.

Knowing Nintendo NA, they're probably trying to hold off their sale and kind of make it a part of E3.

@BranJ0 My first Metroid game was Metroid Prime and I loved it. We are talking about two of the best GameCube games plus the decent Wii entry for €10. It's probably one of the best purchases any gamer could make, specially if you already have a Wii Remote and a nunchuk.

@Nin10doh You need a Wii Remote and a nunchuk, because even though 1 and 2 are GameCube games, the trilogy includes the "New Play Control!" versions of the games that were released in Japan for Wii.

I already have most of the ones that interest me, but I'll check the list and pick up any VC Mario or Zelda games that I'm missing.

@VanillaLake Thanks for the info. That's a bummer then I guess I won't be getting anything for the sell =(

I'll be grabbing the Metroid trilogy. All ballin' & sh&t.

nice!

Sees Earthbound and DK64
Ooh, this is tempting.
Sees Metroid Prime Trilogy
Okay, I AM DEFINITELY GETTING THIS!
Sees Zelda 3DS VC games, also other interesting games
HYPE.

@Chunky_Droid Kirby's Dream Land is VC.

Finally decent descoubt on Nintendo titles !! I want most of the games on list !!! But first I need this on NA eshop

Earthbound and Minish Cap for me.

Nice to have a sale. Shame I already have the ones I want.
Briefly thought about getting OOT, but I have it on 3DS so will play it through again.

might get the gb versions of zelda and earthbound.

If it comes ot NA, I'll get Pokemon Trading Card Game and Fast Racing Neo.

@Nin10doh Oh yeah... forgot about that. I'm used to Club Nintendo's timeframe of two friggin' years before coins expired.

YES! I've been waiting for this! I'll get:

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap
The Legend of Zelda
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons
Gunman Clive
Pokedex 3D Pro
FAST Racing NEO

That Ocarina of Time on VC, have they fixed the exploits the speed runners use?

Could I use it for speedrun practice?

I've got enough credit for 2 of those last 3 Zelda games. DX is a given so which would you recommend: Ages or Seasons?

@nab1 Haha, I've heard some really good things about the series, so I'm quite excited to play them. I'll nab super metroid then, and see if I enjoy it
@VanillaLake Yeah, I already have a wiimote and nunchuck, so considering you say it's meant to be good, I'll give it a go after super metroid!

Worked out I will get about 10 games from this list for just over £30, a nice father's day treat from my kids

@n64memories It really depends on what sort of Zelda gameplay you want. Seasons is slightly more action based, whereas Ages has slightly tougher puzzles, given the more complex nature of Ages' time travelling mechanic. However, Seasons does still have some great puzzles, and Ages still has good action. But I would say if you want the more challenging game, Ages, but if you want something slightly more accessible (but by no means really easy) then Seasons

@n64memories Seasons is a bit shorter and a bit easier (or less confusing). Both are good games, but I prefer Link's Awakening and The Minish Cap.

@BranJ0 Good! About the Oracle games, I think you explained it very well. Of the two, I enjoyed Seasons more.

@Nin10doh If you don't have a Wii Remote and a nunchuk you can't play Metroid Prime Trilogy, unfortunately.

@BranJ0 Get the Trilogy as well if you can, I'd even go as far as recommend it against Super Metroid if necessary. The Prime games are quite adventury BTW, not straight up shooters.

I already own all those games :/ I think I might be keeping Nintendo afloat ....

@LemonSlice Yeah, the adventure side also really appeals to me, I think I'm gonna enjoy these games why would you recommend it against super metroid though, is it because super metroid is a bit dated?

Well since the sale starts on my birthday I'm hoping I get an e shop card so I can indulge!!

Meh, I was expecting some better deals, as many of these are just games that everybody has 10 times already.

However, I think I'll get Link's Awakening DX. I have it on the GBC, but it's in German, and I have an English version, but it's the black and white one. I wanted to play that game again anyway.

Man if these deals come to the states then I think my wallet is going to be crying! I don't see why it wouldn't or at least we will have a similar one!

Metroid Prime Trilogy, what a steal!

@BranJ0 Dated has nothing to do with it, I was only saying that in a one or the other type scenario you should get the trilogy. (:

I'd also like to say, in case you get into Metroid, that the GBA games are really really good too. (and available on the eShop)

I think it's safe to say we're all buying Metroid Prime 😄

I've already got pretty much all those 3DS games... =/ I really hope there's more to come.

Just further proof there is no rhyme or reason to anything Nintendo does.

It's like the heads of the company don't even talk among each other.

@VanillaLake Thanks - tomorrow I think I'll be buying DX and Seasons.

@BranJ0 Thanks!! Sounds like Seasons might be the game for me appreciated!

@AlanJones84 @Chunky_Droid @Freeon-Leon
Okay you guys are funny little nitpickers, but my point still stand.

Most of the discount are on Virtual Console / remake (yes I count Nes Remix as VC, sue me) or on small cheap game, with a 1-2 € discount (not a very interesting deal, if you didn't buy the thing before, you won't either with this).
There's a few interesting one, mainly Fast Racing Neo (which I have and don't find that great) and Child of Ligh and Trine 2 Thoses have nice discount and are the kind of game, one might have wait for a discount to buy. Unfortunatly Child of Light and Trine have already been massively discount on other plateform multiple time before.

For a 5 years anniversary of the EShop, I would have love some more Eshop exclusives title to be discount. Some big games, with significant discount from Nintendo or Third party, the 3DS has a huge back catalogue of great games waiting to be bought, even by someone like me who have most of the game he really wants.

@C-Olimar 20 out of 45. So easy to miss...

Nice, though I already have most of the titles from the 3DS list. Might pick up Kirby's Dreamland and Pokemon TCG.

Hmm, Japan had a lot more. And a few of those games I already have, or are not interesting to me.

I think I'll only go for NES Remix 1 and 2!

@Kokusho not all is VC but yeah. most is.

I'd drop a lot on this sale lol.

Ffs I've just bought mario 64!!!😔😂

@sandman89 why couldn't you wait till tomorrow when the sale starts

@LemonSlice Ah ok, I must have misread your earlier post
@samuelvictor Ooh, that does sound better actually, I would prefer to play the more accessible game first, so I think I'm gonna try metroid fusion as my first 2D metroid game, hopefully then moving on to super metroid, and metroid prime as my first 3D one. Now I'm just really hoping I enjoy the games!

@Ikramali I got it last week not knowing about the sale

Shin Megami Tensei? Again? What is this, the fiftieth time?

Well looks like I know what my next pay's being spent on. LONG LIVE THE ESHOP!

Zelda A Link to the Past, Mario Galaxy 2, Super Metroid, Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, Earthbound, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Super Mario 64, Zelda Ocarina of Time...

...it's like Nintendo probed my mind with the question "what are the best games of all time"...

...although it's more likely that they looked at the best selling eShop titles (which would probably explain why Mario 3 is there but not the original or Mario 2 and why there are no other NES games on the list given the generally poorer level of emulation). Either way it shows that Nintendo fans have great taste. Apart from Donkey Kong 64 which is an awful game (I'm going to assume people buy it for the inserted arcade original).

I'm actually glad that Nintendo doesn't offer sales every other week and keeps the value of their games high. The rest of the industry has descended into a "sell x million copies in a big push in week 1 then let it die" mentality that hurts the creators.

Shovel Knight isn't part of the sale. That's clearly deliberate and I think Yacht Club have had their marketing and business plans pitch perfect from day 1.

@Oubie Dillon is terrible. Don't get it.

Colors, Dillon, Pokedex 3d pro for me...
Pokedex... well, it is still rip-off. Free pokedexes/information on web are far better. This should cost 5 euros maximum and include 6th and 7th generation.

Super Mario Galaxy 2, Metroid Prime Trilogy and Pullblox for me. I already have Super Mario Galaxy 2 on disc so I'll give it to my niece for her birthday. Maybe having it as a digital download will actually encourage me to play it. Since getting my Wii U, I have had little incentive to go back and play Wii disc games.

@Bass_X0 I didn't complete when I had it on the wii. I got it digitally and sold my disc. After playing super Mario 3D world completing it than going back to super Mario Galaxy 2 I must say I love this game more

I just visited the german eShop and saw that FAST Racing Neo is still at 14,99 € over here. I'll keep an eye on it. But I don't think it will change because it's already thursday morning and other games are discounted.

No discounts showing in the UK yet!

@Nintendjay it's at 3 pm

@Ikramali Wouldn't that be the 10th?

@Ikramali From 15:00 (UK time) on 09/06/2016 until 23:59 (UK time) on 23/06/2016

@Nintendjay sorry about the times. I'm waiting to get the mario world deal and also might get m64

Surprised NOBODY has mentioned the SHOCKINGLY bad state of N64 games emulation on Wii U especially in europe where alot of them are 50hz slow moving restricted junk and then literally all over the net the Black tinted visor look all N64 games have on Wii U when compared to the way they should actually look. GOOGLE it and see its REALLY bad Paper Mario and SM64 look fricken terrible to name a few.

@Ikramali NP, I'm gonna snap up the 3 Zeldas on WiiU.

Maybe I'll buy Fast Racing Neo. FRN footage never clicked with me even though I'm a huge F-Zero fan and love Wipeout HD, FRN controls seem too floaty and visually I hate the shaking camera effect.

I'm also thinking about OoT even though I own every possible version of it by now (including the original at launch) and I love the 3DS version because of the aiming controls.

DK64 is the one game I'll definitely buy though, I don't really think the game is good from any point of view and certainly not when compared to my favourite game B-K. But it's still great fun 100%ing, I did it a few times and last time was a few months ago. I don't have my N64 hooked up so I played it on emulator, looks great on HDTV and despite a few graphical glitches very playable.

So is Dillons Rolling Western for 3DS better or worse than the sequel The Last ranger anyone know ?

For under £13 I snapped up Super Metroid, Link to the Past, SMB3, Kirby's Adventure and Earthbound. Here's hoping that Nintendo's next console allows us to transfer these over without paying a transfer fee.

@syrupdash I hope so to. Spent 18 pounds on it and only recieved 20 gold coins for my nintendo
