Interesting... but I'm concerned as to what titles would be included. The Wii has more shovelware at this point in its lifespan than any console I have ever seen.

There are some devs out there who simply reskin games and sell them as new. From what I've read that Ninjabread Man and a couple other titles are the exact same game, with replaced models.

I bet one of the games will be Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles for $29.99. They run this price unadvertised from time to time.

The current game is Super Paper Mario for $29.99.

Here are the clues for the upcoming games:
6am:An epic tale of swords and beasts for fantasy and role-playing Wii gamers.
10am:A must-have game for sci-fi-loving Wii owners.
2pm:Move to town, turn it around, and make it bustle with life. A sim-ple pleasure!
6pm:You'll have big super happy fun fun with this Wii classic.

Any thoughts on what they're gonna be? I'm hoping for Metroid and Wario.

If you claim a Lightning Deal, it stays active in your cart for the rest of the day. You do not need to check out to claim it.

Missed Fire Emblem but probably wouldn't have bought it anyway. Thinking about Paper Mario but will probably skip...

Ya, I thought Paper Mario on Gamecube was a lot better than the Wii version.

Nope. Damn that was quick. I've been trying to get that game on Ebay used for under $30 for the past week or so. Under $30 new from Amazon would have been amazing.

Come on, folks. Metroid couldn't have sold out. Everybody knows that Wii owners don't buy software!
