Wii U Bargains Thread

Oh yeah, I believe you, but I also don't pay more than £15 for any other LEGO game, so even £20 is an exception

Yeah now it's understandable as you got other options even if the game is one of the best on Wii U and not like the other LEGO games and you would pay more than £20 for generic openworld game A.

But when it came out it should of been a must for all Wii U owners, no wonder we don't get the support of 3rd party if people don't even buy the best games on the system.

But I didn't own a Wii U when it was released...

Think I'll have to re-buy the three of those I no longer have (DK, Lego City and NSMB)at that price, Tropical Freeze especially I've been wanting to get back to.

I thought you were a early adopter Andy though of the Wii U, I still find it interesting that you won't pay the money for a great game. It's similar to the people moaning that No Man's Sky is £50 as it's indie or The Witness is a Puzzle game & indie so it shouldn't be £40.

Nope, GF got one for MH3U, but that was about the same time as Lego City. The simple fact is that it is a LEGO game, regardless of its quality, it is a LEGO game and there are based on things I enjoy more. I've played LEGO Indie and as someone who isn't an Indie fan, I didn't enjoy it as much as the others, therefore LEGO games about things I like are a higher priority. Plus I can't buy everything, I only spend £40 on something I really, really want.

Still similar to it's a puzzle game argument then, thankfully it's not £40 now even if it's worth that and you won't miss one of the Wii U's best games.

I guess, but the Witness, like Catherine, is an exception, most puzzle games aren't worth full price. Maybe City Undercover is worth £40, but that's certainly not what I had gathered from reading about it myself. The big thing that stuck with me were supposedly awful load times.

There are pretty bad if your not used tom poor load times but as someone who's owned a Neo Geo CD, I can tell you there not to bad

ShopTo will be selling Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate for £9.85 once they have it back in stock in a fortnight.

They were making a big deal about it being £9.85, so you'd have to guess that they'll honour any orders made while it's cheap.

The Animal Crossing amiibo Festival bundle (with the two amiibo) is going for £14.99 new at GAME.

It might be a huge cash in but well worth that price, it's a great game to visit every now and then when you can't really be bothered to play anything tasking.

They've got loads of copies of it in my nearest GAME. They also had Bayonetta 2, new, for £9.99.

That price for Bayonetta 2 is almost a sin - which I guess fits the theme.

Not something that I've seen for ages. Here's Nintendo Land, new at The Game Collection for £11.50.

Wii U's Wii Sports, right there.

GAME on the high street are offering a free Super Mario Collection amiibo with a purchase of Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash for £19.99.

Wow, that's a tempting one... Can I resist? Time will tell.

I'll correct it GAME are offering a free copy of Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash when bought with a Super Mario Collection amiibo for £19.99.

I was just thinking about Ultra Smash the other day and I am one Amiibo short on the Super Mario Collection.

Spotted a handful of Wii U games at Sainsbury's for £19.99: Splatoon, Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker, Mario Party 9 and, er, Sonic Boom.

Not really sure whether to post this here or in the 3DS Bargains thread, but ah well - there's a Humble Bundle up for 3rd party Nintendo eShop games on both Wii U and 3DS.

Some crackers in there - $13 will nab you the whole lot with more on its way.

So far:

$1 or more:

Retro City Rampage DX - 3DS
Affordable Space Adventures - Wii U
Shantae and the Pirate's Curse - Wii U or 3DS

Beat the average:

The above and...

Freedom Planet - Wii U
Rhythm Thief and the Emperor's Treasure - 3DS
Citizens of Earth - 3DS or Wii U
A Retro City Rampage 3DS theme
More on its way

$13 nets you everything above and:

Super Street Fighter IV 3D - 3DS
Darksiders II - Wii U

Absolutely worth it, I reckon. If there's anyone who's fancying the Wii U exclusive titles in the bundle and isn't planning on buying the bundle, let me know as I'll have spare codes.

The only game I've not played there is Freedom Planet so I'm definitely passing. Is it just me that doesn't particularly rate anything in it?

Shantae is pretty good, and I think the only one I own. Might be worth shelling out.
