Wait Game & Watch: Donkey Kong Jr. a DSiWare title.
As far as I can tell this is the first time a DSiWare title has ever gone on sale. Dammit, Nintendo this mean you can put DSiWare on sale and should do all the time (as these titles are a much harder sell at the prices they are these days).

DKCR for $20 and Pac-Man for $12 here I come!
This is such an improvement from the last week. Also KI:U should have been 20 dollars...

Yeah, getting both DKCR games for $50 is a great sale. While it cannot compete with Steam or PSN, I will take it when Nintendo discounts games.
Have to agree because New Leaf is $10 cheaper and came out way after...

NOA is just trolling with Star Fox price.

Why is New Leaf ( a game made from entirely new assets for the most part ) cheaper than Star Fox 3D ( a port of a Nintendo 64 game )?
I almost feel bad for Nintendo for buying it at that price. I definitely would have paid $60.
Probably because Star Fox 3D isn't being sold at retail anymore so they can price gouge. Same reason Ocarina of Time 3D didn't go on sale.

I have an abusive relationship with Nintendo, I feel completely taken advantage of by purchasing Star Fox 64 3D @ $30 but Im still gonna get it, cuz god knows when they will have a sale again and physical copies are terribly expensive

I am giving DKCR another chance this time without motion controls and see if this makes me like it better. I hated the Wii version because of those motion controls.

Dat Tropical Freeze
presumably because Starfox 3D is not actually a port of a Nintendo 64 game.
Fuck. Now do I get it here or for $20 on Amazon.

Star Fox was $10-15 on eBay a few months ago when it was getting cleared out. Now that it's OOP the resale price has doubled. It was even part of that free game promo last year (I kind of regret selling my code now).
Would've jumped on Tropical Freeze for $30 but not $35.

Star Fox for $30? Fucking NoA... Still though, it's $50 new physical, so I don't know.

Damn it... probably would've been able to justify DKCRTF at $30 but not at $35, since it's before tax and I don't even know if I'll like it. That's a shame.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Should bave stocked up when Target had all currency cards for 25% off.
DDP is another few dollars back as well.

Awesome!
I have a $5 code so get a discounted Armillo (heard it was good).
I can get Tropical Freeze from this sale.
AND I'm picking up Hyrule Warriors tomorrow.
A good day!
I already have Pikmin 3 from the Mariokart promo.

Tropical Freeze is definitely worth it, just keep in mind that you need 11.4 GB or something close to that.
Also, hope to see some new people in the New Leaf thread
ouch, do you know how big pikmin 3 is?
and you'll see me in the NL thread soon! been like 10 years, can't wait to return to AC

Huge deals on Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze. Don't miss 'em, folks. They're both fantastic games!
Edit: Pikmin 3, too. It's a gem!

$11.99 for Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures is a great deal. It's a decent platformer, but you can't go wrong for that price.

Probably gonna bite on DK? What's with no Triple Deluxe?
I think the initial download is under 4 GB, but right now I've got it at 4241 MB. I think that's with the more recent update.
And great
there are fewer of us than there used to be, but there's a still a fair amount of us who are still playing, plus some new people pop in from time to time, so don't be shy.Incidentally, if any of you in the US wanted Pikmin 3 a little cheaper (like $30 maybe), I have a physical copy I've been lazy about pawning off. Send me a PM if you'd like.

That is pretty much what I got from Balrog's review. It seems like a good time, but no where near Pac-Man World quality. That is why I was waiting until it got pretty cheap to try out and $12 is the price of digital games, so why not?

Definitely picking up Animal Crossing and DK:TF for that price.
Way to go Nintendo, hopefully the sales are really great and they'll keep doing discounts like this every once in a while.

Starfox at $30? Seriously Nintendo? It's been out for years now. What a joke. It should have been reduced to $30 ages ago and been at $20 for this sale.

Donkey Kong is ELEVEN GIGS!?
How? Why? I may need to rethink this.

Are you human and have a soul?
If yes, you'll like it. Unless platformers are really, really not your thing.
I never got to play Returns on Wii, so getting to play it on 3DS will be nice. I'm assuming it's the better version anyway, what with no forced motion controls.
Shame about Star Fox. I'd want to have that, but I'm not paying that much money for a graphical remake of a game I've already played to death.

Yop in buying a hard drive this weekend. Warriors, pikmin, tf... Mmmmm good weekend ahead.
all of it will probably finish downloading Sunday night
What I've run into with niche Japanese games vs. mainstream games (for example) is that it isn't just that "a game is a game," but each game is unique content that appeals to different people, and the price for certain kinds of content (for instance, Rune Factory 4 sells for $39.99 still a year later, but Killzone Shadowfall is $29.99) is based on the market and demand for that kind of content, and the competition among people creating that content for people who want that content. So I gladly paid $39.99 for Rune Factory because it's content that not many others are creating, and I wouldn't begrudingly go "but Killzone is cheaper" because I know that the game that each developer created is unlike the other, and if I wanted more Rune Factory-ish games, well, not many people are making that kind of content, so they've got me by the balls
So the pricing for one type of content is totally different from the other. Likewise, the value of a game such as Star Fox, to the people who are willing to buy it, is not dependant on the value of Animal Crossing, because the content is totally different and appeals to different people.
