Edit: Added rumored future week sales thanks to Zeeman
 
Will finally jump in SM3DW, SM3DL, SMB2 and SMB3.

Screw Yoshi.

Wait, it is THIS week? F***, I just spent a lot of money on the PSN.
 
Wasn't NSMBU already down to $40 for regular price?

That 3D World price though...

How long would it take to 100% that game? I know you have to finish every level with all 5 characters for 5 stamps (though there is that multiplayer trick).
 
US only? Just bought 3D World, it's still €60 here though, luckily I got it for €47 but still :X
We had a similar Smash Bros Character sale last month. The only Mario games in it were NSMB2 and NSMBU. The discounts were like 20% off too.

And to think the Americans were crying about that...I guess Punch-Out was 50% off though...yeah that totally makes up for it.

Edit: Europe didn't get any Metroid, Pikmin, Star Fox or F-Zero discounts

Two copies sold? That's not a bomb guys, stop trolling!!!
Discounts on recently released games too? 3D World at 39.99? Yoshi at 29.99? 3D Land at 19.99? Good! Always glad to see better discounting initiatives from Nintendo themselves for theif retail titles. Hoping they continue to improve on this front in the future!

I feel like calling some of these games for their character is a MAJOR stretch, but I guess limited options.

You don't have to finish every level with all five characters for stamps, unless there's stamps I don't know about.

That's a decent number of games, but not sure the prices are all that great... Sony's flash sales tend to be a bit more Steam-like and drive almost automatic impulse buys.

still, at least they're doing sales. This is Nintendo we're talking about.
 
Awesome. I was hoping this sale would happen here.

Still though, I would easily pay for almost all of these if they were cross-buy. Nintendo has lost out on so much money from me without cross buy support.

I'm literally stuck deciding on which version to buy which leads me to not want to buy either of them.

Chances of Harmoknight being on sale the Pokemon week?

Hard mode: Chances of it being a discount worth a damn?

SM3DW for $40 is a great deal. GameStop charges $55 for used.

Digital is slowly becoming cheaper than retail...

Super Mario 3D World is also $39.99 this week at Fred Meyers if you have one nearby. Amazon doesn't seem to have changed prices, so it doesn't appear to be an all retailer sale unfortunately.
