Nintendo needs to know what a sale is especially in the twilight days of the Wii U. They should be going all out

Hope legend of Kay will be at a similar price in europe
Some of those are not worth mentioning lol. But thanks for the link, didn't know the Sonic games were on sale. Sonic Generations 3DS is finally at a price that I want to buy it.

how is return to dreamland?
Seems like the "gamepad in portrait view" option will be just fine for most circumstances then. From the looks of things there are so many screen options that there's bound to be something for any situation.
There should be. It's just the subgames I'm unsure of. The main game itself is definitely playable with all touch. Those subgames might be more difficult to play in portrait is all. You should definitely be able to play the main game in portrait or in "GamePad shows touchscreen only" mode, which I think is a thing.
Absolutely sublime. Lovely Kirby platformer with plenty of creativity and heaps of content. Epic Yarn does edge it out for me, but I did like RTDL a whole heck of a lot.

Does anyone know when the sale ends?
Wow I gasped at some of the prices and then realized they were just VC stuff lol. That's a Nintendo sale alright... Anyway, thanks for sharing it.
I picked up Crimson Shroud and I'll probably get FR Neo but those are some terrible deals.
Anyway get MM Legacy Collection, people.
One of the best Kirby games ever and that's saying something.

Links Awakening was never an ambassador game. You're thinking of either The Legend of Zleda (NES), Adventure of Link (NES) or Minish Cap (GBA)

They ain't too bad depending on what you're looking for.
I'll be picking up Azure Gunvolt 2 and Legend of Kay.

Might pick up Lego Avengers for that price.

Fast Racing Neo is a steal for that price. Anyone who laments the lack of arcade racing games this generation absolutely needs to give FRN a try.

Ten bucks for Mario Galaxy 2 is the most ridiculous value you will ever get from a Nintendo sale.
I probably actually will pick up Fast Racing Neo.
I'm guessing it's not playable without a Wiimote?

I'm disappointed that Rhythm Heaven Megamix isn't on sale.
Yes.
While Fire Emblem: Fates has some of the best maps in the series (Conquest) Awakening is still a nice game with memorable characters, some interesting moments, fanservice to old fans (the nostalgic one... yeah, there is a bit of the other one too!), some cool maps and great final battle.
Yeah, some elements are questionable and the pairing mechanic was refined to hell and back in Fates but you can still enjoy it.

Seriously this. Do 50% off all VC titles including Wii and watch the money roll in on a dying system. Instead they're getting zero from me.
Absolutely. You can buy either game and have an awesome time, but Awakening is just a little better.

Do you mean Birthright vs. Conquest? Awakening is the first 3DS Fire Emblem, and there's only one version of it.
Also, random aside: I didn't know Severed got a 3DS and Wii U version.

How is Liberation Maiden? I was vaguely curious about it once but have no idea what it's like.
Yeah, you need a Wiimote + Nunchuk for Galaxy 2. It works wonders though. It just feels so right. That little flick you do to make a spin jump practically becomes reflex.

No. There's no changes made to Wii games on Wii U, but if there's support for the Classic Controller then you can use the Gamepad. I played Xenoblade Chronicles on the Gamepad and it was excellent.
But yeah, for SMG2 it's only Wiimote+Nunchuk. Which is fine by me, it was designed that way and works best so, I think. I play all my old Wii games on Dolphin these days; I tried playing with my 360-controller once, and while it was functional it was not nearly as good. I mapped motion (the cursor) to the right stick and it was just awful, lol.
It was 7,50 some time ago. Oh yeah, it was the E3 sale in June.

It's neat! But definitely an acquired taste. I haven't played Kid Icarus but apparently its control scheme is very similar: it's a third-person shoot-em-up where the left circle pad controls your movement and aiming is done with the bottom touchscreen and the stylus. If you're left-handed, it'll be very difficult to play the game properly.
If the control scheme doesn't bother you, though (and it didn't really bother me), it's two or three hours of arcadey goodness, and definitely worth three bucks or whatever.
True. Also worth mentioning, this was the price of the game on its first week back in January 2015.

No. Save your money and buy Fates full price (Conquest) . There's no reason to play Awakening, game play is better in every way in Conquest.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Sonic all star racing transformed looks good
I agree that Fates is better, but if you are a big enough fan of the series it's still worth playing Awakening. If you're starting out I'd still recommend it for $20.
