The discounts are pretty generous (for Nintendo at least), but the selection leaves a lot to be desired. They're mostly Virtual Console games...
Haha yeah, was just going to correct you about it not being live.
Usual Thursday update.
Oof, sorry all; just misread the article. Will ask a mod to fix, thanks for correcting me!
Probably not.

You just put in more effort making that list than NoE put in for this entire Anniversary Sale.
If anyone in Europe didn't get the chance to get Metroid Prime Trilogy at half-price, you owe it to yourselves to take the opportunity again. Even at full eShop price, it's a steal for how much goodness you get, but it's a mind-bogglingly amazing deal at half that. Best of all, this is the ideal way to play the games since the digital version cleans up any loading issues the games had, especially in Prime 3.

That's so great news! Excatly what I was waiting for, I'll get my wallet ready for thursday.
Too bad I've bought both Zelda Oracle games one or two months ago at full price, but it's not like they aren't worth it.
Can't wait!

I like this idea. Somber haikus for Nintendo sales.
I already own
All that shit listed for sale
Terranigma: when?

That's it ? Wtf what a greedy company.
It's also totally useless since you can't multitask on the 3DS outside of the few built-in apps.

When SMG2 and MP:T say they support "Offscreen Play", does that mean I could play them entirely using just the gamepad, or does it mean I can use the gamepad as a TV and I have to aim my wiimote at a tiny screen?

The second thing you said. You need the Wiimote to play them, the GamePad would just act as a telly.

Weird that EU gets it first, but I'm quite interested in a few offers. I'm tempted on SMT IV.

Well that's hugely disappointing, tbh.

SNES games on 3DS are ace. Arguments for correct ratio aside, the pixel perfect mode is beautiful on a 3DS screen.

It's excellent on 3DS. Just make sure you don't get the SNES version; it's 50Hz and slow as molasses.
Isn't it only on sale for Wii U?

My entire gaming youth was slow as molasses
Felt so cheated when I first found out about the 50Hz/60Hz thing..

Waiting for NOA on this. I'd love to try to get FAST Neo on discount.

Hum. Sales are undeniably always nice to have, so hooray, but why do I get the feeling that the recent Nintendo Humble Bundle was a far more attractive deal? I mean, even if you were a good guy and paid more than a buck or whatever.
Oh well. I might grab some 3DS deals, but I'm not really all that enthusiastic about it to be honest. Probably the Kirby game and the VC Zeldas.
Question, though: I have Fullblox already. Still nibbling at it, only recently finished the first park (100 easy puzzles). Is Pullblox more of the same, or actually the same? Should I rely on the rest of the DLC which I already bought plus the QR code thingy, or grab Pullblox for the extra levels?

Yeah, I'd be hoping for something closer to 50% off but suddenly I realize NOA will probably be worse than NOE on this.I know every penny counts, but it's only a 3 euro discount.....
