10% off?
Don't you just get 8 points per £1 you pay at eshop then when you get 500 points, you get like a £5 voucher?
Buying pikmin 3 would get you around 312 points, and I need 342 points for the next £5 voucher annoyingly.

I could see the argument for DKCRTF, but I can't really call Wind Waker HD a bigger game for Nintendo than Pikmin 3.

Bet it sells more.
DKCR Wii probably sold as much as Skyward Sword worldwide so who knows. They'll earn more money from Zelda though considering it's a remake.

Assuming it'll be £40 is a big assumption. It could be anywhere from £35 to £55 based on previous eshop games.
Still, if Pikmin 3 is enough to push you over the 500pts barrier based on your previous purchases, you could always use the extra from that towards W101 making it even cheaper.
But has anyone bought download codes to confirm you actually get nintendo premium points on them? (I have no idea)

Not even that, but both w101 and pikmin have excellent cover art. I really dont want to consider digital.
Well I read that Pikmin is being put up for €49.99 which would put it at £39.99 here. Edit: Yep, just checked and it says £39.99 on the eShop
You do get premium points when you use download codes
I dunno, considering most games on the Wii U eshop are about £55, I'm not sure this deal makes it cheaper.
I make it out to be £93.5 with £9.35 cashback. Considering most places have the games for around £35, not really a bargain. Course they may finally come to their senses and charge reasonable prices.

Pikmin 3 is £39.99 on the eShop, and GAME will probably sell codes for £35.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
Of course it's EU only. It's Nintendo

It's a Platinum Games title. Want it 30%? Wait three weeks.
It's published by Nintendo. I seriously doubt it is going to have as serious price drops as other Platinum games.

I wish Nintendo would give the Wii U a 30% discount and make that motherfucker $250.....then maybe more people would swoop one.

Nice news, this may help hopefully W101 sales, incidentally I would like to know what Kamiya thinks about this move now, it sounds as a good start.

Time to hit the US miiverse boards again...
You guys have the SMTIV/Fire Emblem Awakening deal.
While I applaud them for doing this (it's a great way to get digital sales to increase), why do it for only one region?
Hopefully they will offer this in NA too, I would glady take that off. And if they're counting the "early access" from GameStop as an equivalent, that's pathetic.
Edit: after seeing the post above mine, if that deal is only here then I feel like an ass since the exclusive deals are evenly spread out.

But you guys had that 3DS eshop buy 3, get another before:

C'mon NoA..
Huh, come to think of it since I'd probably spend the credit (well, 2/3rds of it) on Pikmin 3 anyway I guess it kind of events out anyway, moreso in our favor actually if Earthbound didn't run off with a third of that. Would've been nice to go for an absurd stacking though.

I'll never play either of these again after this generation, so not for me. Fir those that often do repeat runs, I'd say yes.

Considering that Nintendo was the only company to make their digital games transfer to the next gen, it seems less risky in that perspective. What sucks is the no account system making it a bother if your console fets stolen.
I was on the fence on wether to buy Pikmin digital or not, this seals the deal for me. And perhaps they will get +1 on W101 as I hadn't really planned to get that.
Less risky on Wii U than 3DS. No chance of losing your Wii U really, unless your home is broken into. If you lose your 3DS you have to buy a new system and file a police report for the stolen item (can be a big hassle). If either system malfunctions, then you send it to Nintendo for repairs, which is probably what you would've done anyway. Even if they send a replacement rather than fix it, they will restore the games you owned.

America here, but not interested.
I don't think I want W101 (rather spend money on my 3DS backlog) and Pikmin is a retail purchase, I'll probably sell it a few weeks after the release date since Nintendo decided to make the multi player mode local only.

A lot of people are saying something similar, but did Nintendo ever say, even in the slightest that there will be a account system that isn't tied to the HW in the future?\
Deal is nice, but imo it's not necessary to have all the games in one place on a console. Now, on a handheld, that's something I would consider. Switching cartridges/UMD's is just annoying.

It's probably an automatic deal, just like when you pay much less for VC games you already own on Wii (if you transferred them of course). Or the deal for getting Metroid for cheap if you already bought Kid Icarus or vice versa.
Ok, cheers for the info
