Wait, Best Buy price matches this entire deal, too?

So I could go to Best Buy and get two games and one free just like Target?

YMMV, my Best Buy was slightly hesistent to do it for a moment, so no guarantees!

 

[Marty Chinn]

Yeah TRU always does one then

Ya, they always do. I only said 95% just in case for some reason they decide to cancel it this year.

 

[MilkBeard]

I really wish Wind Waker HD released physically during this sale, because I would totally take advantage of it with that game.

 

[Bigdrbingo]

If only WW HD was out... I'd definitely go for Pikmin + Wonderful 101 + WW HD.

Same here.

Again, it's literally in Best Buy price matching terms that they wouldn't accept it. >.>;

I used to work at Best Buy, and things like this would always depend on who was working, etc. so I say it's worth a shot!

Is it worth calling beforehand?

 

[xXBetter Off DadXx]

Is it worth calling beforehand?

Yeah I'd say so.

 

[PrinceOfKoopas]

Yeah I'd say so.

Because according to Best Buy's online tracking, Rayman Legends is well in stock.


...And again, it's closer.

(Maybe they'll recognize me from when I stole a Luigi hat from Nintendo's E3 Experience.)

 

[Codeblue]

Can you exchange games while the promo is still going on? I'm finding it impossible to track Rayman down, which on the bright side means that it moved some copies in the middle of nowhere.

Question? If I buy one $60 and two $20 games will the refund value of each be $26.66? So I could return the two $20 games and get the $60 game for only $26.66?

 

[SCReuter]

No. You would be getting the $60 game for around $47.

 

[Vinnk]

My friend picked me up W101, Rayman and LuigiU. I know that ones a cheap title but it's one I wanted. Already have pikmin 3.

 

[Jetman]

Hmm, think I'm in for Wonderful 101, Pikmin 3, and hopefully Scribblenauts Unmasked if they have it in stock by today. Don't have a Wii U yet, but planned on getting the Mario Bros. + Luigi bundle when I do so dont need to pick up those two.

I thought it was split in thirds, so each game would be $33.

 

[Korosenai]

Alright I have a question. I'm wanting to get Disney Infinity, Rayman, and TW101. One target near my college has Disney and TW101, and another target about five minutes away has Rayman. If I buy Disney, TW101, and some random game from the first target, can I go to the second target and exchange the random game for a Rayman?

 

[WrenchNinja]

Ask him where he lives...or stalk him.

Some guy from Canada commented on one of my miiverse posts and said the B2G1 deal was also available in his area. Don't know if it's true, but if it is maybe some of you from Canada might luck out and find a participating Target.

I called a Target and they said no

I might not be the best source to trust due to living in Canada, but I work in retail, and I think if you were to buy a 3rd game of the same value as Rayman ($59.99) and leave it in the shrink wrap, you probably wouldn't even need a receipt and should be able to do a straight exchange for it.

 

[popsicle_sundays]

Really tempted to grab Pikmin 3, W101, and MH3........hmmmm! I'm already so backed up with GTA5 and Wind Waker HD

 

[SatoAilDarko]

No. You would be getting the $60 game for around $47.

How is that calculated? Does that mean the $20 games would have a refund value of $16.50 each? What the percentages used?

I thought it was split in thirds, so each game would be $33.

I already picked up three $60 games. Total was $120 (because lowest game was free) which made each game have a refund value of $40 on the receipt.

If I was to do the b2g1 on a $60 game plus two $20 games the total cost should be $80 (one $20 game being free). If they are actually divided equally it should be $26.66 for each game in refund value right. So I could theoretically return the two twenty dollar games and get the $60 one for only $26.66. Has anyone tried this? I may try later today and she if it works. If it doesn't I'll return everything. If it does I can return my prior purchase. If anyone can shed some light on how Target calculates this deal it will be much appreciated, thanks.

 

[Marty Chinn]

I thought it was split in thirds, so each game would be $33.

It's a maximum of 33% off only if you buy three games of the same price. The real discount is lowest priced game divided by total of all three games before discount. You should ALWAYS buy three games of the same price since you can return any you don't want in order to get the full 33% off.

i only had nslu when i started playing the wii u on saturday night. i decided to switch over to nsmbu last night and the difference is pretty big. nsmbu is more about exploration and levels take a lot longer. nslu is way more focused on reflexes and there aren't a lot of hidden areas. so far, i'd say nslu makes way better use of the mostly horizontal level design.

Yeah, the focus of each game i entirely different. I wouldn't recommend team play for NSLU, though, at least not until everyone is capable of playing NSMBU and synchronizing well. When I tried it with my buds it was pure pandemonium, we were dying all the time because we got in each other's way. Plus most of my friends aren't really good at platformers.

 

[ExMachina]

Just brought home a Wind Waker bundle and Zombi U. I'm probably going to jump on this deal soon, but I haven't been following Wii U game prices at all so I wanted to run my choices by GAF first before picking up anything that might be on sale somewhere else. Looking at these 5 games that retail for $60 normally (I think?)...

Wonderful 101
Pikmin 3
Nintendo Land
New Super Mario Bros. U
Rayman Legends

I'm leaning more towards W101, Pikmin, and Nintendo Land since I can always grab Rayman Legends on PC. Sounds good?

 

[VGChampion]

I have yet to pick up Rayman, Pikmin, or W101. Could be very tempting as then I'd be back up to owning every Wii U game I want.

And for anyone thinking NSLU, I found it much more enjoyable than NSMBU. I don't know if it's the time limit or no Mario or what but playing it co-op was a blast. I may even like it more than NSMBWii.

nintendo land is going for less than 20 bucks used. NSMBU or rayman are better options at the moment. wii u rayman has the touch screen sections you wouldnt get on pc, too. and bonus levels.

 

[ExMachina]

Ah, exactly what I wanted to double check on. I'll poke around for deals on Nintendo Land then... So W101, Pikmin, and Rayman it is!

Thanks to dengatron and Chairhome for the help.

I can't confirm for sure, but my friend said he bought Nintendoland for $7 used at Gamestop. Looking at the site, it looks like a used copy is $15, he must have used a 50% off pre-owned promo without knowing.

Rayman Legends on the Wii-U is an absolute blast due to the touch controls. W101, Pikmin and Rayman are great choices.

live dangerously, wear the luigi hat when you go

 

[PrinceOfKoopas]

...Yeah, it didn't end nicely.

Today my professor finally asked, "So what was with the get-up yesterday?" And I responded, "What, the hat?" To which he said, "The whole outfit. It was very retro. Like something out of The Jetsons."

 

[PrinceOfKoopas]

Yeah I'd say so.

Just called Best Buy.


Sales associate spoke to the manager, manager said no, sales associate apologized, and we all frowned.

Ah, that sucks. Well, now you know. Do you have another Best Buy in town though? There's two where I live and sometimes one would let you do a deal that the other wouldn't.

NintendoLand is on the 50% off preowned list.

 

[xXBetter Off DadXx]

No, I don't.

Shitty, did you say you have a Target, but that it's pretty far away?

 

[PrinceOfKoopas]

Shitty, did you say you have a Target, but that it's pretty far away?

Yes.

And it has Rayman Legends out-of-stock.

 

[Formless]

Yes.

And it has Rayman Legends out-of-stock.

This happened to me -- just got NSLU because I was impatient. Hopefully it gets restocked this week near you.

 

[Version 3.0]

Went to nearest Target for W101, Rayman and Pikmin. Only Pikmin in stock. Bah. They'll be dirt cheap in January.

 

[Arcayne]

So interested in this deal, but I'm already plenty occupied with console D3 Is there any type of 2 player mode on Rayman/W101/Pikmin? Preferrably co-op story mode or something. Maybe that'll help me decide faster, lol

 

[evilromero]

Nintendo Land is $30 brand new on Amazon. NSMBU is $44, Pikmin 3 is $50 and pretty much everything else is below $50. The only game that is still full price would be TW101. And to be honest, I see that one dropping in price in the next three months.

 

[Niraj]

NintendoLand is on the 50% off preowned list.

Wow, def going to pick that up if I can find it.

 

[xXBetter Off DadXx]

Yes.

Well, you've got until Saturday, check back and maybe they'll have more stock in, good luck!

Edit: Oh, and are you basing the out of stock on what the website says? If so, I double check by calling the store, as from my experience, the two don't always match up.

heheh...Nintendo games dirt cheap in less than a year....Oh this will be fun.

 

[Bel_Air_Jeff]

Wonderful 101 will get down to $20 or $30 soon.

that's what I'm waiting for.

 

[Alex]

heheh...Nintendo games dirt cheap in less than a year....Oh this will be fun.

I never really understand this comment, I constantly get Nintendo games for big discounts. The only difference with Nintendo games is they often don't drop and stay dropped, but they do have good sales on them and get promos often.

 

[FrankNitty]

Wonderful 101, Rayman Legends, Splinter Cell. I think i'm in for those

 

[KidGalactus]

Snagged w101, monster hunter and pikmin. They were almost out of everything.

 

[spookyfish]

Target used to have a $10 off sale on Nintendo-published games every now and then for the Wii, but I haven't seen that in a long while. Where have you found good sales on Nintendo-published games?

 

[Version 3.0]

heheh...Nintendo games dirt cheap in less than a year....Oh this will be fun.

I got Pilotwings and Steel Diver for $4.99 each at Best Buy BEFORE Christmas 2011, when the 3DS was selling poorly. The Wii U is doing much, much worse.
