In System (but gone before I got there):
Super Mario Galaxy 2 9.97 (This one made me sad to miss, been watching it forever...)
Mario Kart Wii w/Wheel (Has to be w/ wheel) 9.97
DKCR 9.97 (not sure on this, but one store went from 3 to no copies in a week)

Tons more for 360 and PS3, but I wasn't paying too close attention.

Go hunt this weekend, as I checked three stores, universal as long as there was stock.
