I don't know why I always check to see if Nintendo sales are still insultingly shite, knowing full well they absolutely will be, but I still do.

Yeah, I'm thinking about buying it even though I already played/beat it - just to have it.
I don't think so. MK8 is so much better than MK7, there's no point honestly.

Damn, I was kinda hoping that the newly released Nintendo Select games would be on sale (Like 3D World), haha.
Sale is pretty mediocre to me, but I might be interested in picking up Kirby's Dream Land 2 for the 3DS.

I personally have't played MK7, but from all the reviews and the seeming lack of single player content (important IMO for a handheld MK), I'd just recommend picking up a Mario Kart DS kart somewhere for cheap.
Yes indeed.

Yep, the IR pointer on the Wii Remote mimics the Zapper.
There's a toggleable crosshair.

Still too high for Mario Tennis Wii U.
Everyone needs to pick up Steam World Dig! Maybe the best eshop title out there.

No.
It's not hard to get around thankfully. Don't save in puzzle rooms. I had the bug and lost 20min of progress that could be redone in 10min because I had figured out the puzzle now. It's pathetic that they never fixed it, but at least it is very predictable and you can avoid corrupting your complete save.

Nintendo doesn't know how to do sales.

Is there a different way to do sales other than "Discount Items" that I don't know of?

Can I play Final Fight One multiplayer?
Have they bothered implementing multiplayer in GBA games?

Oh man, that sucks. I will take your advice and avoid saving in puzzle rooms. I seriously can't wait to play this game. I loved 999

Damn, I wanted a physical copy of VLR but for that price I guess digital seems okay.
God damn it Nintendo, you've forced my hand once again. Why are the Wii U deals so terrible? Ubisoft sale had a ton of great retail games for $10 or less.
How is F-Zero Legend? I tried the other GBA F-Zero game on Wii U and I was complete garbage at it. Anybody has any recommendations on Puzzle & Dragons Z + Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition & Code Name: S.T.E.A.M (at the much better Gamestop $10 price)?
edit: Also Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Shin Megami Tensei IV, and Mario Kart 7 (but only if you need Mario Kart on the go, as others said the Wii U version offers a lot more than the 3DS version, but first person view is cool with 3D tho) are all at great prices.

for 3ds the only "deals" I think are good are SMTIV and ZTD; VLR

People have a right to complain. These sales are mediocre dude.
It does, but the glitch is easily avoided. Don't save in the puzzle rooms. Done.

Actually, the digital version of VLR removes the option to save in puzzle rooms.
Not really a fix, but at least people will not have their file corrupted anymore.

It's still at that price at Gamestop. Is the game worth it at $10?

Absolutely. I bought it when the game was released and loved it. Too bad it never gets the sequel it so deserves.
Actually, they did add a ""fix"" (which consists in disabling saving in the room where the glitch occurs, ha).
But if you're really worried, you can always use the back-up feature, and back-up your save data regularly.

I can't comment on difficulty, but I think GP Legend is a marked improvement over Maximum Velocity. It has a story mode and more to do than the original.
The game still froze and crashed in the pressure chamber for me. I mean, I did not corrupt my save file because I didn't save there, but I still consider this a bug that's clearly in the game. It's not a fix by any means, even if you put it in triple quotation marks.
Still worth 12 $ of you at least half-enjoyed 999 and don't find a Vita version for the same prize (and own a Vita).
More people should point out that Teslagrad on Wii U is really fun, it's around 8 hours to complete - not counting the times thst you get stuck on a puzzle or a boss fight.
And for 3DS owners: Story of Seasons is the new name of the Harvest Moon series in the west, much better than what is realized as "Harvest Moon" over here. If you got the Stardew Valley itch, check it out.

The 3DS games are way higher polish though, also P&D Z getting a sequel in Japan this summer.
They feel like actual puzzle RPGs.
Sadly there's nothing on 3DS that I really want. VLR is tempting, but I have an unplayed copy of 999 on my shelf so I should go through that first. I wish Kirby Triple Deluxe or Ocarina of Time were on sale. I'd also be down for a $10 Pilotwings Resort, just for curiosity's sake.

It just occurred to me that when I redeemed the Humble Bundle games last week my Wii U was telling me it was out of storage...arg. Looks like I'm tracking down a hard drive between now and the 21st.
