One important note: I’m unclear if the sale prices are with / without My Nintendo. My guess would be the latter, but logging in and out as a My Nintendo member shows the same prices. I’m not sure if I’m simply misunderstanding something, or Nintendo made an error. In any case, view all of the deals here.

Some of these prices are pretty ok, others I'm surprised are as little as they are. For retailers like Best Buy and Amazon, some looks very close to normal (or membership) prices for physical games.

I don't want to be unfairly critical here, but woopity doo, 10% off digital pricing. I have a similar opinion of the Club Nintendo replacement being an arrangement where I pay money for the right to get coupons that struggle to compete with normal retail pricing.

 

[Scrawnton]

Yokai Watch has been out a year and a half and it's only getting an $8 discount?

Sorry, my original title was unclear. What I meant was, there are sale prices, plus on top of that, you get 10% extra off for being a MyN member.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

That's an uninspiring sale. Everyone just buy Pocket Card Jockey and call it a day.

 

[Falchion]

I hope their eShop sales get better when the Switch comes out....

 

[G0523]

Oh boy, I wonder if any Virtual Console games are on sa--

3DS
Wario’s Woods – $3.89 (Was $4.99)

Nope. None of them are on sale.

 

[Dsyndrome]

Can't say any of the discounts on display here incentivize me in the least.

 

[DonShula]

They want me to buy these on Wii U now and then buy them on Switch again later, don't they?

 

[Kneefoil]

I have 2 or 3 games I'd like to own on Wii U. None of them are part of the sale. :-/

Edit: Oh... This is NA only anyway.

 

[DJ_Lae]

Damn it, I just bought Mario Party 10 for my daughters when it turned out that physical copies were almost impossible to find here.

Tempted by DKCR but I'd guess no changes were made to the controls so you're still stuck with waggle.

Yep, meaning as long as you're ok with the reduced framerate, the 3DS is still the best (retail) way to play it IMO. I'm hoping for a DKCR two pack with normal controls for Switch, though.

 

[Tavernacle12]

I got excited when I saw Splatoon and Mario Party on sale and then disappointing when I realized there wasn't much else on sale.

 

[Richie]

Curious to make Splatoon part of the sale; can't see many getting it when the Switch version is inevitably announced tomorrow.

 

[Rodney McKay]

I'd have gotten the 3DS Donkey Kong Country Returns for that much, I almost never play my Wii U anymore.

 

[maxcriden]

I agree. Probably one last sale for those unaware of the presentation or actively planning not to get Switch. But, you'd think they'd offer a more tempting price. But maybe then they worry it will make the port look like a worse value at (I'm guessing) $50 or 60.

 

[Madao]

got Warioware because i have nostalgia for that game and i'm too lazy to dig out my disc and pocker hockey card because people say that game is fun.

 

[Hugstable]

Ehh pretty weak sale. Wish they would give more discounts in these sales

 

[Zen Aku]

That's so underwhelming..

 

[digita1alchemy]

There is a really good demo for Pocket Card Jockey that transfers your save data to full the game, for people who might be interested (you should be).

 

[dreamlongdead]

That's it? There needs to be many more eShop only titles. I'm very disappointed with the lack of other good options.

I got physical versions of Yokai Watch and the Mirai Launch Edition for $30 each back in 2015! River City is something that I would prefer to have physical.

I'll definitely pick up Pocket Card Jockey, which is the only title preventing this sale from being a total bust.

 

[krae_man]

Gurumin on sale? Yes please.

 

[RedToad64]

Everybody get Pocket Card Jockey and Gurumin!

 

[etrain911]

Got Warioware and Pocket Jockey.

 

[yyr]

Reminder: Severed is cross-buy. If you buy either the Wii U or 3DS version, you get the other for free.

Please support Drinkbox and take advantage of this =)

 

[pariah164]

May snag Pocket Card Jockey and Skytree Village.

 

[jax]

Don't wanna buy any of these I don't already have in fear they'll be rereleased on the Switch

 

[bman94]

Really boring selection of games.

 

[everthustodeadbeats]

Really hate Nintendo pricing. Guess I have to wait til the Wii U is dead to enjoy a good discount.

 

[zMiiChy-]

Really Nintendo?
I want Wario Ware, but they can't even lower the price by five freaking dollars!

 

[Vandole]

Thats a decent discount for Tokyo Rumble. It hasn't been out for much longer been 2 months I don't think. Still, wish they could have gotten it down to $20.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Can't believe Noitu Love: Devolution hasn't been mentioned? Please watch this one minute trailer:

Both Wii Remote and touchscreen aiming.

 

[basik]

Is river city tokyo rumble good?

 

[Alchemy]

Nintendo sales are always so bad. I'm probably not dropping any money on Nintendo stuff until the Switch releases :<

 

[spazimoose]

I only got the additional 10% to show up on 5 of those titles under "Just For You Offers" on the 3DS eShop. Anyone else able to see the 10% on everything?

Picked up Gurumin 3D($10.79) and Pocket Card Jockey($4.90). The other three available to me were Story of Seasons, Mario vs DK and Splatoons. How did Nintendo pick these? Would have liked to have gotten the the extra 10 on River City though. Might still pick it up along with Story of Seasons.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

These prices are garbage. Inazuma had been $10 for 2 years now and it's $14 in this sale after its been $10 2 weeks ago.

 

[Living the Dream]

Zero hopes for digital sales on Switch. wow

 

[JC Lately]

Ctrl +F: Tokyo Mirage Sessions

no results

This is my surprised face.

 

[HotHamBoy]

This sale is total lolz

 

[Bowl0l]

Zero hopes for digital sales on Switch. wow

This is how NoA works. They probably would increase price instead if they are allowed to.

 

[robotrock]

Oh what, I had no idea Severed was on Wii U! Still have yet to play it.

Is this the only place to play the game on a TV?

 

[JBourne]

Ctrl +F: Tokyo Mirage Sessions

no results

This is my surprised face.

Yeah, I'm surprised it hasn't been on sale yet. 3DS Atlus games constantly go on sale, but never TMS.

 

[Regiruler]

Off the top of my head I think that's the lowest Severed has been.

 

[Jawmuncher]

RIP dream of Fatal Frame on sale in NA before the launch of the switch

 

[Version 3.0]

SOLD! Thanks.

Played it on PC last month. Awesome game and I can't believe I'm years late to the party.

 

[RionaaM]

That's a whole lot of nothing. I have many 3DS games yet to buy, but Nintendo isn't giving me an incentive to do so.

 

[HotHamBoy]

Really hate Nintendo pricing. Guess I have to wait til the Wii U is dead to enjoy a good discount.

On the eShop? They'll just stop having sale. This isn't Sony.

This selection is weak and these discounts are laughable. I guess a couple bucks off is better than nothing but sales are supposed to motivate purchases and I am far from motivated.

Look forward to the Switchshop while we close down the eshop.
We will release more launch exclusive DLCs because it is more fair to our fans.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

As a new 3DS owner, damn you all weren't kidding about shitty eShop sales.
