Well we'll finally get Lego City Undercover so that's awesome!

 

[Kyzer]

I always wanted to play Luigi's mansion on gcn, played for maybe a couple hours once. Would I be able to scratch that itch with LM2?

 

[Lights and Waves]

Nintendo finally giving us regular price drops. I like this.

 

[Jeffrey]

26th? why announce it now >.>"

was all ready to buy shit, but ill probably not care anymore by then.

 

[Deadpool_X]

Damn it!!! I JUST bought Luigi's Mansion digitally yesterday for $40...

 

[DOWN]

Hm not the official price drop on New 3DS yet? And nothing going on with New 3DS XL?

 

[Plinko]

EVERYONE needs to buy Lego City Undercover. Load times are atrocious but it's the secret best game on Wii U.

 

[Jake2by4]

Son of a... just bought mine for Amazon like 3 weeks ago ugh.

Yes, I think so. It's a bit different but better and longer IMO. It's a bit less open world in its approach but there is much more to do and see. It's wildly creative as well.

Ask for a refund. Can't hurt. Talk to Nintendo CS. You might not get anywhere but I think it's worth it to ask.

If they won't refund you, personally I recommend you start playing it if you haven't and really soak up all the enjoyment you can from it (and it is a wonderful game) so you can say to yourself, at least I got to play it earlier than if I'd waited.

 

[Balb]

Still waiting for a price drop for Mario Tennis Ultra Smash. Sure, the game is a huge disappointment, but it is worth some amount of money (probably around $20) for the solid mechanics.

 

[Cloud7]

Nintendo is selectively selling hot Nintendo 3DS and Wii U games directly to us at the right time. NX awaits.

It's a bit different. Luigi's Mansion is more like Nintendo's take on traditional horror games. LM2 is more mission based and has a more arcadey feel.

I ended up liking LM2 more. The arcade gameplay works well for the series, and it's a really well made game.

So am I. I think I'd probably jump at 20. Although I got the 3DS game for like 10 dollars.

 

[kswiston]

I assume that Nintendo is doing their 50% markup in Canada. I might pick up Wind Waker down the road, but $30 for the 3ds titles is too much for games that have been $40/45 since launch. Some of the eshop sales have been cheaper.

 

[Ridley327]

Now is the time to sell any non NS-labeled versions of LCU, it seems.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I always expect bigger deals and bigger selections. Don't know why I do that to myself.

EVERYONE needs to buy Lego City Undercover. Load times are atrocious but it's the secret best game on Wii U.

The loads are only between the police station and the open world. There's no loads in the city.

There are over a minute though.

Surprised it's stayed at around $40. It sold like 35,000 copies it's first two months, below even Amiibo Festival. That dropped to $30 quickly but each package takes up much more space and more copies were probably shipped.

 

[Pokemaniac]

Hopefully this means Nintendo Land is coming back to the eShop.

 

[FaintDeftone]

Definitely grabbing Wind Waker and Lego City Undercover. Great news!

It's well worth $20. While the game is content starved, it's still Mario Tennis which is always fun. Looks pretty nice too.

Hopefully they take the Wii U game as a base, add a ton of content to it and relaunch on the NX.

I honestly hated it. I've never enjoyed a single Lego game.

Problem is that you go to the station all the time.

Surprised it sold that poorly. Guessing that's the worst selling game with Mario in this title in a long time.

 

[gerudoman]

Luigi's Mansion 2 is awesome, you guys enjoy it.

It really is, easily one of 3DS best games. New buyers aren't getting the awesome fluorescent cover though

 

[shingi70]

I hope that Mario bundle isn't limited, since I need to replace my stolen Pokemon new 3ds.

 

[castaction]

cool but man yesterday i got animal crossing for 34 dollars

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Surprised it's the low. Guessing that's the worst selling game with Mario in this title in a long time.

Launch month in NA, November, was less than 20,000 copies sold. Compare to Xenoblade Chronicles X which sold over 200,000 the next month.

A good message to Nintendo about quality.

You're probably right about the Mario thing.

 

[evilromero]

Damn, was hoping for the SNES-era Mario art style for the faceplate.

 

[DeathSparks]

I'm getting WWHD and Luigi's Mansion immediately, been wanting to play those for the longest time

 

[timberger]

EU gonna be getting some sales too?

 

[maxcriden]

EU gonna be getting some sales too?

It's unknown at this time. These are price drops and not sales, though. In March NA got similar price drops and then EU got some in April. So perhaps EU will get more soon also.

 

[Miker]

Oh cool it's about time Star Fox 3D went on sa-

Goddamn it.

 

[Sou Da]

Still just can't fucking sell the regular n3ds in white and black huh?

 

[StereoVsn]

Well, this is exciting (minus the Zelda part where I bought full priced and still haven't opens it). I'll probably get most of that list for my daughter over the holidays. Plus with BB GCU, the games are $16 each.

Might also get the New3DS for Christmas. She has my OG 3DS XL and that's a bit too large for her.

 

[humansarehorses]

LM2 is literally fetch quest the game. I never played the first LM but if you liked all the fetch quests in LoZ (e.g. gathering tears of light), you'll like LM2.

 

[Regiruler]

Now I feel stupid having paid $220 for the HHD bundle given I don't like animal crossing.

 

[Jamix012]

Aaah LCU! One of the few remaining Wii U games I've been waiting for to drop in price. Nice!

 

[jon bones]

Now I feel stupid having paid $220 for the HHD bundle given I don't like animal crossing.

yeah.... i hear that : /

at least i got some solid Summer gaming out of it

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

Will pick up Luigi's Mansion.

Nintendo, what's with the wait for Star Fox 3D though?

 

[espher]

LCU will finally be joining my collection, I guess.

Also tempted to buy the Amiibo/Game bundles for the collection but I never did get the original YY/MP10 bundles, so... yeah. Feel like I should write those off.

*Welcome back to school*
*Here's something to distract you from that*

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Am I dreaming or is ACNL not already $20 on the eShop?

 

[SmartWaffles]

Holy shit I'm importing the 3D Land bundle.

 

[Revven]

I guess I might rebuy LCU and then pick up maybe the 3DS version, too?

 

[Shiggy]

Holy shit I'm importing the 3D Land bundle.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy it in Europe and thus avoid customs?

 

[mrmickfran]

A New 3DS for less than I bought a 3DSXL for.

I mean, I bought the XL like 4 years ago, but it still stings.

 

[deletethis123]

White system again? Dammit NOA give me a black n3DS so I can use my Zelda cover plates.

 

[Regiruler]

The majora's mask one looks best on white though

 

[SmartWaffles]

I'm in China, and I don't read Japanese so won't be importing the Japanese console.

 

[Ridley327]

You're only slightly dreaming. The game was released in the US at $30.

 

[Shiggy]

Oh, makes perfect sense then. Never really thought about gaming in China - I also just brought my 3DS over.
