Since I'm going to Gamestop later on I should grab a few Xbox 360 disks and trade em in. Gonna pick pick up Mario 3d World and maybe Paper Mario. I've never played paper mario.

I'm pretty sure Helix will have an optical drive add on just like the PS5 Pro does.

Would have made a lot of sense this gen because that's the worst part of Series S, which I consider my last Xbox and I have a few old disc games, but if it made enough of a difference to me I guess I wouldn't have gotten rid of the X. I just want one for posterity, which would feel better with a drive!

Hope they give you more than like, one dollar for the games

 

[Skywarp]

I might go with Luigi's Mansion 3.

 

[BlackTron]

Oh, or some reason I thought it was upgraded, nvm I'll skip for now

IIRC the Switch version is 30FPS and the GC version was 60. So....yeah lol

 

[diffusionx]

Wow, Mario Fucking Party for only $59,99, what a bargain !

Crazy that Nintendo named it that for a kids game

 

[Deerock71]

I just jumped on the best MAR10 deal: Full Metal Schoolgirl.

 

[DonF]

I'll get Brothership in hopes that they patch it...sigh

I was interested in that game, why it needs a patch?

 

[zombrex]

Same sale prices as every other sale in Australia which is 33%. Pathetic really.
Still cheaper to buy band new copies from online retailers.

Loading times are really bad (slightly better on Switch 2) and I'm hoping they'll bump up the resolution and framerate.

 

[Zannegan]

A price drop on the Galaxy games would have been nice.

Probably too close to the movie, and they're hoping to capitalize. =/

 

[MMaRsu]

Normal companies would do a sale to promote the movie

 

[mrpants]

Not much of a deal tbh

 

[flying_sq]

Holy crap, these games should be $10-$30, not $30-$60.

[Magic Carpet]

Back from Gamestop. I got one of those $100 Nintendo gift cards and bought Super Mario 3D World.
I put Paper Mario in the Wish list because it's not yet showing on sale. I guess I have to wait for Mar10.

Also I picked up GWENT, A Witch 3 Legendary Card game. A physical version of the game?
It has 1 to 5 players so there must be a solo version in there somewhere. I wonder if it has any expansions?

Also picked up an Amy Rose as Wonder Woman action figure. I don't know why I bought it but I still have Gamestop credit left.
Looking forward to to the new Sonic movie. Also the new Mario Galaxy Movie. (Where are the Mario Galaxy Rosalina action figures?)

It's the Switch 2 version, so it's quite new. You guys are so dumb.

With the performance of the first Mario movie, I think the game is like a movie tie-in they happened to already have for the movie to sell.

 

[dgproject]

What an underwhelming sales…

I bought physical copies of Mario Luigi brothership for $25 and paper Mario ttyd for $32 last year, so I guess nothing special about those sales.
Although what can I expect from company who sold dump gba rom for $20… at least most of those marios are newer games.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Just checked the eShop and Mario & Luigi Brothership is still $59.99. What gives?

EDIT: Just found it on Amazon for $30.

 

[rkofan87]

it's March 8th and the sale prices are still not up on the eShop

 

[ADiTAR]

Mario vs donkey kong is good fun if you like puzzles. I recently 100% the game.

What kind of puzzles?

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

I bought 5 out of 8 of them just to put on the shelf (also bought a new dongle for my guitar hero guitar). I'll never touch them, but they will look good in the collection. Thanks for posting the deals otherwise I never would have saw them.

Edit* ended up just buying Luigis Mansion 3 right now, so the only one I didnt get was Jamboree.

 

[RPS37]

I already own odyssey on cart and I;want to double dip but forty still feels too steep.

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

What kind of puzzles?

It's a puzzle game. 2d environment in which you try to open pathways and whatnot to achieve a goal. I played it on GBA - it's pretty fun.

 

[bender]

What kind of puzzles?

There is a demo on the eShop.

 

[BADGUD]

Need that TTYD remake! Snatched

 

[Variahunter]

It's the Switch 2 version, so it's quite new. You guys are so dumb.

It's the first time on internet where I'm not sure if it is sarcasm.

 

[Inanilmaz]

Is this a deal for Nintendo or for us?

Selling you years old game for $30+, Jesus.

[Zuzu]

Dang I bought Mario RPG and Donkey Kong just a few weeks ago with the game vouchers. Could have got it cheaper on this sale. Oh well.

Undecided about Mario & Luigi: Brothership.
I mean.. $30 is the cheapest I've seen, but it is not cheap, because Nintendo.
Also, I'm not sure I'd play it right now even if it was free, compared to other games on my backlog (like RE9/Xenoblade X etc..).
I did like the other games in the series on the DS back in the day, but it sounds like this one isn't as good, correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[Emedan]

Nah get it, it's worth it. Such a good game!

I liked it but man it's a lot of filler in that game, Im 55 hours in and I'm in the end game.

 

[GymWolf]

Do they only discount games with mario in it or there is hope for others aswell?

I'm in the switch 2 store right now. Paper Mario is listed at 59.99. It's not even listed in the sale.
I guess the sale was for physical only for all those 29.99 games. Is that whats written in the tiny small print?
That means the OP picture showing 29.99 is a Hustle. I've been had. swindled. duped. bamboozled.
This is Fraud. I went to gamestop and bought a 100 dollar online card code.
I've already used it to get Mario 3d world on sale leaving me with enough to get Paper Mario IF IT WAS ON SALE. But it's not.
Now it says I need more money added to the wallet.
BS man. This is B F'n S.

Paper Mario is only $30 for the physical version. The digital sale got some different games. I don't know why Nintendo did it this way. To be fair to the OP all of the games pictured are physical boxes, and that's an image Nintendo had on their website. Can't seem to find it there now, though. They had two images, one for physical games and one for digital.

Edit: found it

I guess I can 'suck it up' and spend the extra $6.48 to buy Paper Mario full price.
OR I can let that $58.46 sit in the store wallet till a real sale comes along.

 

[PontificationEngine]

Lack of announcements or anything for today is a big disappointment. Keigh3 maybe?

Yeah it's pretty frustrating. This was a dumb way to do this sale.

What a pathetic pathetic company.
