Nintendo of Europe will have a Black Friday sale too

It's one thing to get all sales up front and be disappointed, but having to wait 24h in hopeful anticipation, just to be disappointed again is simply cruel.
 
Apparently the ones today are:
Wii U: DKC Tropical Freeze, Pikmin 3
3DS: DKC Returns 3D, Ultimate NES Remix Rip-off
seriously you don't take 2 €10 games, cut content and then charge €40 for it

edit: Beaten, my fault for ranting about the shit situation of that is Ultimate NES Remix Rip-off in Europe (in America it is taking 2 $15 games to sell for $30).
 
Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D and Ultimate NES Remix are today's 3DS sales. 24€ each.

...Have we all somehow managed to upset NOE, or something?

I mean they have to be aware of how bad these prices are compared to literally every other sale going on right now, surely?
 
It's certainly better than Super Mario 64 from today's perspective (if you take off your nostalgia goggles, that is)

Debatable. Sure, mechanically it's better, if only due to decades of advances in the genre, but 64 has a greater scope, scale and ambition to it IMO, that just sets it apart as a grander game and overall better experience.
 
The opening post was updated with today's deals information.

Since we had Mario and now DK as mascots of the days so far, is anyone willing to guess which characters will get one afterwards? Link seems to be a given, but beyond that, the count of "eligible" Wii U games gets pretty low! Maybe Nintendo will go crazy and feature Sonic or Miis, maybe they'll discount recentish titles, maybe they'll change theme altogether. Or maybe they will just use Luigi to push more Mario games.

They'll outflank me anyway, won't they.

Maybe also add £.
 
Feel sorry for Europe. Even the US sales are better than this so far.
Hardly a sale.

Link, Kirby and.. maybe Sonic.
Maybe also some third party / indie sales? At least the US had Rune Factory 4 , Shantae etc.

Makes sense. The Link sale would have Wind Waker on Wii U and on 3DS ... Majora's Mask?
Triforce Heroes is too new and ALBW just recently had a permanent price drop.
Edit: Oh, or Ocarina of Time 3D!

I guess the fourth one will be either Kirby (Rainbow Course and Triple Deluxe) or Miis (Wii Sports and Tomodachi Life). Woolly World is too recent to have Yoshi.
 
Expired already? It wasn't much of a deal but I probably would have gotten 3D Land for that price considering the physical version is still usually £30 and up.

Same. Not played it in like a decade and it's still more fun than any other Mario I've ever played, especially the Wii U Mario games.

You take that bad, NSMBU is the best 2d platformer!

Kidding, no point in these arguments but seriously NSMBU turned out great, it should come preinstalled with every Wii U along with Nintendo land to add more value to the console imo.
 
Maybe also add £.
Why stop there? Personally I see Zł prices, I guess Denmark, Sweden and Norway have their respective krones, Switzerland has franks...

The euro price is close enough for you to estimate your local price, and I'm not going to spend time researching prices specifically for UK. Sorry, not sorry.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
So how much is DKC TF in € ? Just saw the 40% off number on twitter.

4 games on sale each day?

Jesus Nintendo...

Thats 4 games more than expected tbh - i think they will have a bigger sale during the Holidays.
 
WiiU shop overloaded took ages to even buy a game and even in 24 hours Wonderfull 101 still not downloaded and there's Pikmin 3 behind that. That's a discount on the 2 big WiiU games I was waiting on.

Might finally get Tropical Freeze... but man, it sucks how the eShop still has full price on everything while you can get the physical versions for much less.
