Wonder if the eshop versions will be that cheap?

Pikmin 3 day 1 for me, I've been really wanting to play that for a long time now.

Yeah actually, thats definitely what happened when a few other 3DS and Wii U games got price dropped some time ago and Im pretty sure it happened when Europe got its newest Nintendo Selects a few months ago.

I never played AC City Folk. I doubt I'd play it after New Leaf, though.

I just wish All Stars and DKCR would come to eshop.

Ooh, an excuse to get Tropical Freeze. I could go for that.

Yeah all but AC are just mock-ups. Are these legit NS titles or are VGP faking these?
DKCR is hilarious in its lateness, since it was one of the Wii download launch titles for Europe and Japan. Those silly folks over at NoA!

Because of the time limit? Outside of one very specific mission toward the middle of the game, you should be able to outstrip any distinct possibility of running out of time pretty quickly once you get going. Do your best early on and you'll feel a lot better later on.
Thing is, if it were EU and the region wasn't in the title you'd have US users shitting on the OP.

I'd say, "Hey, where's Wonderful 101?"
...but then I remember that it pretty much bombed to that price on release anyways haha.

I own every single one of these games...I think I have a problem.

The European 3DS games are 19,99 on the eShop, so it should also in America.
I don't know. I felt like every second I didn't do something to reach the goal was a wasted second. Felt like the game was running away from me if that makes sense. I can't stand RTS games. So I guess that's that.
Now that I think about it, there's a pretty good chunk of the lineup here that hasn't actually gone down in price at all.
DKCR: has been $30 officially since one of the Nintendo Selects waves where SSBB got reduced to $30, as well (second wave, maybe?)
DKCR3D: launched at $30
SMAS: launched at $30, and with physical goodies like a (rather shitty) anniversary CD and a booklet
NES Remix Pack: launched at $30

Considering they're taking preorders from their store, they'd have hell to pay if they were faking it all.

Also, since Animal Crossing CF is a reprint, why not reprint all the other NS Wii games, especially Pikmin 2? 
They should also add games like Pikmin 1 and Jungle Beat to the list.

Excited to finally get a hold of the Super Mario All Stars Wii port. Also, Pokémon 3 being there is nice. I already have a copy but I'm pretty sure it's been out of print and rare for a while now.
WTF is the deal with NES Remix's pricing though. That's literally the same price as the original physical release. Actually, with CAD pricing it'll cost more.

Even if it's not cheaper you should get New Leaf instead. City Folk isn't nearly as good.
Also everyone should buy Pikmin 3. It's such a great game.

Oh.
If you're not playing the challenge stages, I think you can more or less approach Pikmin 3 like an adventure game with RTS elements. Especially once you've gotten a few pieces of fruit under your belt. No need to try to optimize everything if you're a first-timer; just make sure you don't squander all your juice without getting any new fruit, and try not to lose all your Pikmin.
Sure... I don't see your point though.

Ugly reprint for Pikmin 3, but still pretty cool. More people should buy it so we get Pikmin 5!
Yoshi doesn't deserve to be among those other games, same with Mario Party. DKC3D is one of the best 3Ds games though, so buy that too.

I just realized that the Wii U eshop version of Mario Galaxy 2 is $19.99. I owned that version since it was first on sale in the eshop.

Thanks for the info.
I actually just realized that this is Canadian pricing, so these should be $20 in the US, which would make a lot more sense.
In that case, everything is getting a price drop, and that means SMAS doesn't look nearly as silly without the goodies.

This. Its a gotdam travesty they aren't million sellers yet.

Wii version has better FPS but 3DS has better controls, extra stages, and you can play it at work. I'd go 3DS.
Pikmin box has two ratings lol
It's kind of a pick your poison situation. Wii version has all the graphical bells and whistles (including 60 fps), but you're forced to use the Wiimote to roll. 3DS has entirely all button inputs for all actions and an extra world, but the graphics took a hit and is 30 fps, which is not a great situation for any platformer.
Exactly. That's why everyone should put the region in the title. Always gunna suck for someone if you don't. Americans shouldn't get away with it either.

This is great news.
Now I need to hurry and sell my Wii U copy of SM3DW before those hit in.

NoA seems to be in a reprinting kind of mood lately. Between these, the quiet little reprint they did for FE:A, the Bayonetta 2 solo release and even throwing out more copies of Devil's Third, they might be willing to do a little more than we've expected from them in the past.
...unless it involves the FE:F SE, that is.

Considering what Pikmin 3 has been going for, I think most people would be fine with a kindergartner's crayon nightmare if meant getting a new copy of the game.
In some regions, the covers for the Nintendo Select lines are reversible.
As I recall, NA was not one of them... But maybe they've learned.

Nice catch! Some of these are even more enticing to me now. Just hope we can get all those Wii games on the eshop for digital purchase(the ones that haven't been release there yet).
