So I'm new to the Wii U scene. How often if ever does the DLC for Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros go on sale?

[DNukem170]

I don't think any Wii U DLC has ever gone on sale.

Their ideas of sales are bundles of the DLC that are cheaper than buying them individually.

Not sure if we've got any Super Mario Maker people around here, but I got it the other day and have been messing around with it to put up a couple of levels if you want to check them out.

[DNukem170]

If you're in the mood for CAG codes, the Mario Maker thread in the Nintendo forum has a ton to sift through.

[-Never4ever-]

Unrelated but man the Bookmark website for Mario Maker is extremely useful. In a sense that now even a backlogged game of mine has it's own inner backlog.

Hey Frisky, is there any rhyme or reason to when these Nintendo Eshop sales are posted by Nintendo? Also, is there any price tracker on this site or elsewhere when it comes to digital content for consoles? I'm hoping for something similar to Cheapshark but they only cover PC content.

 

I'm interested in Fast Racing Neo and Affordable Space Adventures but not for the retail prices. From looking back at earlier posts, it appears Affordable Space Adventures was 25% off around Thanksgiving, and I'm sure Fast Racing Neo hasn't gone on sale yet since it just released last month. Off the top of your head, can you recall if Affordable Space Adventures has been discounted for any cheaper?

 

Thanks for the time/consideration and for all you do on both this thread and the PS Store/Deals thread.

I don't think so. The closest is the Google Docs Spreadsheet linked in the OP that is a bit out of date along with this thread, which I believe contains every deal that has happened on the Wii U eShop since they started. Just do a search on a game and you should pull up every deal post it's been mentioned on, though CAG's search has had issues in the past so it might not always be perfect.

Thanks for the heads-up on this.  I've been waiting to get Sonic Racing digital for some time and $20 was the magic price point for me.  Now if only EA would put NFS Most Wanted on sale...

Definitely picking up Ninja Gaiden. Might pick up Injustice as well. 

 

Thanks, Frisky.

[Josh5890]

Would anyone recommend Injustice for $7? I imagine the online is dead but is it a fun game none the less?

[DNukem170]

Injustice is well worth the $7. Fun game and supports Off-TV Play.

[FlyingMonkey9]

Off topic but been playing Metroid Fusion and it's a lot of fun but DAMN this game goes way too far in having you "check in" and point you to the objective.

Is Zero Mission considered better or worse?

I think it was that way because they were afraid the long time since Super Metroid would make it hard for newcomers to figure out what to do, so they went a little overboard and toned it down for Prime and Zero Mission.

For those who haven't heard, Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 is coming to the Wii U Virtual Console and it will include all e-Reader levels, including the unreleased-in-the-US levels.

I was just looking at my e-Reader cards for the GBA game last night and was hoping they would include the ones that I'm missing. Going to be hard to pass up picking up the game today now that I see that. 

[EldritchOnRye]

Tempted on Sin & Punishment but it just feels too expensive still.

Can't wait to play this. I remember playing some of the e-reader levels but not all of them, and certainly not the Japanese only ones.

[Querjek]

I spent hours figuring out what kind of paper I needed to print e-reader codes for the Japanese levels, back in the day. This version is a welcome change

Zack & Wiki!

 

I would say you need to buy it, but you can buy it for $5 at GameStop.  Either way, buy it.

[filmthedead]

Man, hard decision time. I really was hoping for Mario Kart 8 to go on sale, but I also want Super Mario 3D World. I only have the money for one of them right now, and only if it's on sale. So I basically have to decide if I should get SM3W when it's definitely on sale, or if I should wait to see if MK8 is on sale in Week 3.
