Nintendo Summer Sales - Europe
- Thread starter Shiggy
- Start date
They put the themes on sale so they could have "up to 50% off" on their banner and not just "up to 30% off"
gonna grab that Mario Famicom art theme. always looked gorgeous.
Hey now, the VC games are also 50% off.
That is one stingy discount for MHG, though.

oh right, ignored them because - as usual - I already have all of them. if only they would put VC games on sale that I have not yet bought but still would want to (if only they were a bit cheaper..... HINT HINT)...

Some of those discounts are terrible.
In for Earthbound and LTTP on 3DS though.

I'll have A Link To The Past for that price. Tempted to get Super Mario World too as I've never played it.

Nintendo eShop sales are always so bad. Come on. Go a little deeper than 30% on retail.

I am considering getting these-
Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move (Nintendo) - EUR 6.99 instead of EUR 9.99
Dr. Mario: Miracle Cure (Nintendo) - EUR 6.99 instead of EUR 9.99
Pullblox (Nintendo) - EUR 4.19 instead of EUR 5.99
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (Nintendo) - EUR 3.99 instead of EUR 7.99
Super Mario World (Nintendo) - EUR 3.99 instead of EUR 7.99
F-ZERO (Nintendo) - EUR 3.99 instead of EUR 7.99
EarthBound (Nintendo) - EUR 4.99 instead of EUR 9.99
My region is UK so in GBP those'd be under GBP 50 right?
Would like impressions on some of them if possible please

For whatever reason my MyNintendo account isn't linked on the 3DS. Not interested in digging through Nintendo's account system rules to change that, oh well. I'm sure Nintendo will sell me ALTTP another time.
I have 10 on my 3DS. Thinking of getting the Mega Man Collection and that Mario Famicom 3DS theme. Just so that I can get rid of it. Too bad the latest Pheonix Wright is 15.

Yep, every single one.
So for some, like Super Metroid, that's the first time officially in Europe.

That's Earthbound on N3DS right? I think I might finally play it for that price.

It's always the same VC games go on sale over and over yet there's a massive slice of them that just never do, such a let down.
Also you couldn't throw Rolling Western 2 up there as well as the first? bah, so close yet so far with Nintendo sales.

Aye, SNES games are really nice on 3DS with the 1:1 pixel matching option. Just be aware that does give a slightly incorrect aspect ratio, as the pixels are meant to be slightly wider. I didn't really end up minding, it means the games are slightly more 'narrow' but it's nowhere near as bad as 4:3 stretched to 16:9. You can play at correct aspect ratio which is on by default, but it's far blurrier just like NES on 3DS VC.
From what I remember the colours are pretty decently vivid too, so none of the annoying dark filter nonsense.
The daft thing is that the couple of times games have gone on sale, they've only had visibility if they were in the best sellers. Puyo Tetris was 20% off recently but you basically have to actively search for it...
Not really I had the news of the discount popping up every time when the console was brought up from the standby
And from the news there was a direct link for the eshop.
The eshop itself is quite barebone but eShop+News is quite effective.
Ah yeah I did forget about news, still it should be a mix of that and more visibility on the eshop itself.

Is this live now?
Impressions:
MvDK: have played other games in the series, very fun touch screen puzzler.
Dr. Mario: Dr. Mario w/ an additional mode
Pullblox: delightful platform puzzler. focus on puzzling. initially easier then gets very tricky. lots of puzzles included.
LTTP: a classic top-down action adventure game starring a boy on a quest. very smooth gameplay.
SMW: a classic 2D side scrolling platformer starring a highly agile plumber. great level design.
F-ZERO: fast-paced difficult racer.
EarthBound: cult classic RPG. haven't played it though.

Absolutely!
You may want to get the cheaper retail version:

NP I gave a couple of them a bit in jest since I knew you would know of them but I did give you my honest feelings about all of them

I for some reason was thinking of Layton VS Ace, I have no idea why...
