Yo pay 40€ for that masterpiece it's worth it

Lack of co-op is THE reason I don't own it. Ever since Lego Harry Potter I've exclusively played these with my girlfriend, and City dropping co-op killed it for me. I still can't believe they did that, the entire series has been built around drop-in co-op since the beginning.
The only way to play Luigi U as standalone, was to buy this version which is pretty rare yeah.
edit: So New Mario + Luigi U for 25€?? 25€ each?
I wonder if each territory got to decide which games to offer as Selects or if this is some experiment to see which titles get a bigger response.
The Wii U gets a lot of crap for its early struggles, but March 2013 gave us Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Need for Speed Most Wanted U, and Lego City Undercover. I sunk so many hours into all three titles that I was more than satisfied with my console purchase.
I would LOVE to have a $20 digital copy of LEGO City in particular.

Nintendo games just sell. THeir systems are the most direct straight to the point games machines I have ever seen. Every one of those games have over 4 million sales?? thats insane!

Finally, WW HD isn't £50 any more.
I shrug my shoulders at Wii Party U. Like many retailers would sell the remotes separately and the stand alone Wii Party U would cost less than this Nintendo selects release. Also does anyone know if this Nintendo Selects version still comes with the silly Gamepad stand?

Don't you mean €60?
Read the press release. It is the disc with both games on it. Typically I sold my stand alone versions of the game as I had that disc and now this release makes this disc worth less. However, it is superior to having both games on separate discs (there are some cool bonus features).
it's 25 for the disc that contains both games

Gosh darn is that a mighty fine dose of 2D platforming available there.
Give Tropical Freeze the sales it so richly deserves dammit!

OK didn't word it that well was actually asking if it was for both or each.
That's great, I wonder how this will affect the price of the Luigi U as dlc. I have Mario digital and Luigi physical but I'd like to have Lugi in digital form for easier access.
I know people are bashing the New series for being kinda stale but these two games are great, they really are two Wii U gems. For 25 yo get crazy amount of fun and 2d platforming awesomeness. Along with Tropical Freeze are my 3 favourite games on the console.

Holy shit at NSMB and Zelda WW. I don't have them and I want to play them. This is great!

It's 60 , and I am not sure I will like the game...
Missing LCU in the title.
Seriously, Lego City Undercover is the best lego game out there and a great open world game. It's worth the price even only for the last missions in the story, which are epic. Play it if you haven't done it yet.
I quickly lose interest in each GTA because I don't care for the characters. Would Lego City Undercover still be a game for me?

Absolutely. New Super Mario Bros. U is a great game. As good as Mario Maker is, nothing beats a "full" Mario game made by Nintendo. I can't play Mario Maker for really long stretches as the levels feel disjointed, I like to feel like I am making progress.
60 Nintendo games are kinda rare. Xenoblade X was 60, but SM3DW? Nuh.

Thank god for Lego City Undercover. That game would sell really well if it was a 20 euro release by now. It's ridiculous how expensive that game still is. (Luckily I just got it on the second hand market and it's a very fun game.)
Where is Pikmin 3 though? That and Wind Waker are the only games I need to get.
One thing is rather confusing, is New Super Mario U + luigi U going to cost 25 euro or 50 euro? It seems like they count them as 2 games. If it's 25 euro, I will probably sell my NSMU & NSLU physical copies for the new one.

It's both games on same disc (NSMBU is even being replaced by NSMBU+LU on the eShop as a result).
That's the Wii U in Europe, so yeah it's not that much.

Also, important notice: Nintendo Land is also getting a Nintendo Selects offering. Though not in all countries, it seems (NUK PR doesn't mention it).

Have them all by now. But I recommend every single one of these. Great games for either single or multiplayer!

That was the official price, also that's how much it costs in the eShop. Qucick search in most popular greek shop engine show that the cheapest is 54.

Thanks! That was the info I was looking for.
It's 50 on Amazon Germany and I've seen it for 40 around these parts.

I also like that fact that they announced it more than a month before it actually happens. So people can't complain they bought some games a few days before the deal happens.
Hopefully with the NX, they will embrace the 'steam sales' practices.

Seriously, Lego City: Undercover is not a standard LEGO game... It's really a game of its own, with one of the best Gamepad implementations of any Wii U game. The game is a single player, 2-screen game.
If you want a standard co-op LEGO game, where every game is a carbon copy of each other, there are zillions of them.
AFAIK, Pikmin 3 is still available as a standard retail release in the NoE territory, not out-of-print like for NoA.
Because you don't like the characters in GTA or because you don't care for characters in games in general?
Anyway, in LCU the characters are very good, they practically drive the story, which in my opinion is great. If you like the story you will play that first and then do the rest of the world (I think after the story you are at about 15-20% of completion of the game). If you're not particularly fond of story you can take it slow and do a lot in the world between the missions. The only downside for this is that for some mechanics you need some characters who are unlocked during the story. But there's still plenty to do even without them.

Pikmin 3 is available, but still rather expensive imo. The cheapest price was 40 euro on Amazon.de. I would bite for 25 euro.
And I agree with your Lego City explanation, the gamepad functionality is rather good.
I don't like those characters (e.g. Franklin, Michael and Trevor) and thus can't stand to play as them. Usually interesting, relatable and/or fun characters are a major reason to play for me.
Thanks for the answer, at this price I'll check it out. And do the story with unlocks first.
Yup
Holy shit, I payed 52 for it at launch, now it really cost 59,99
Really surprised by this as I never bought a Nintendo game at that price.
Just here to echo the sentiments re: Lego City.
It's still my fav "Lego game."
The lack of co-op is a bummer, but the humour, characters and story feel well above other Lego titles.
Oh! and the last level is EPIC!
Edit: Should be mentioned if you have a particular dislike for long load times, they are really bad in this game!
