Henshin a go-go, baby!
As the title says.

Both are excellent games (among the Wii's top 25) and this is a great price on each of them.

NMH2 is IMHO a much better game than NHM1 (and majority of critics agree). The first admittedly has better assassin characters but the grinding in between is just poorly executed and it's enough for many gamers to drop the game (you'll probably read about that in most of the reviews for the first one). NHM2 removes the grind entirely, and it's a whole lot better for it. The ending is controversial, but I liked it (and it's one of those rare, rare moments when Suda51 actually does something that isn't crazy or weird).

And, for those who never played NHM, no worries, there's no love lost with starting with NHM2. It's not as if we're dealing with a sophisticated story here.

As for Muramasa, everyone knows why that game is worth playing. IMHO, not as good story-wise as Odin Sphere, but as a graphical marvel, it rivals its predecessor just on the ground that the framerate is so much more consistent.

Ugh. Still need to beat the first No More Heroes, but I don't know the next time I'd be seeing NMH2 for $13 new. >< (Well, quite possibly soon but that said 13 was easily the sweet spot on pricing) Backlog++. -.-

Oh, right. So all complaining aside, much thanks OP! Great deals on great games!
 
I want NMH2, but it's been this price (or lower) before, so I can wait. Don't need to buy games right before I move, anyway. Just means more to pack.
 
Still holding out for the rumored HD port of Muramasa for PSN/XBLA. At $13, it's pretty damn tempting, though.
 
I've been waiting on both games in hopes of HD releases.

NMH is coming to the PS3 so maybe the second one will too and Muramasa was rumored to be getting a HD PSN/XBL release.
 
Tempting...but thanks for the heads up OP! I've seen NMH 2 float around this price point several times, so I think I'll also wait for it to drop lower (despite it being one of the Wii games I've been wanting for a while). I bought the first one nearly a week after its release and loved it (still played it after attaining 100%), which makes me that much more excited for NMH Paradise to be brought over to the US. :D
 
For those not in a hurry to get Muramasa, it's been the same price on Newegg for almost a month. Unless it sells out, which is possible, I don't think you have to worry too much about the price jumping back up.

It's a good game though and well worth $13.
 
[quote name='thegame85']I would buy Muramasa but like everyone else I am waiting to hear if that HD rumor is true.[/QUOTE]

I can't imagine it in HD - it's so incredibly gorgeous in SD, I think my eyes would melt seeing it in true 1080p *___*

My Wii backlog is embrassingly bad as well and New Egg also has Sin and Punishment for 16 bucks. Muramasa is super tempting but I've heard of an HD version it possibly coming out so I'm hoping to hold out till then.
 
I've heard for a year now that there's supposedly an HD version coming out for the PS3 or 360. So far, all that is is still a rumor.

Might as well just get it if you're that interested in it.
 
I highly recommend Muramasa. Don't wait to get it, IMO. it looks gorgeous on the Wii. I think it's better than Sin & Punishment (these two are the latest non-mario games i own, too).
 
weird. i got an email in the subject line saying its out of stock for No More Heroes 2. but the site still has it in stock. i checked my account and it says VOID. i dont get it.
 
bread's done
