WaveRace Blue Storm HD? You may have just sold me another Wii U.

None of the is too unbelievable to be fake, since even if it were, that list is pretty much what's expected of Nintendo.

You make it sound like the media has been purposely sour on Nintendo for no reason.

Yea, for Wave Race, but I'd rather have a new one. Hopefully they don't price it like Wind Waker because $50 for a 15 year old WR ain't happening.

Back up to $60 now.

FYI, it looks like Groupon has 20% off any purchase (up to $50). They have both the Mario Kart Bundle ($280 after discount) and the regular game ($48 after discount).

I'm not seeing anything about 20% off from Groupon. Is there a link or a code you can refer to?

I can't find a Groupon code, either.

Are you not selling your Wii U now, Supermallet?

Supermallet 06-06-14 06:54 PM

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 
I offered it up to a few people but haven't had any bites yet. Mario Kart for under $50, with the download code for a second game, is enticing enough to keep me in the fold.

My Other Self 06-06-14 06:59 PM

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 
Okay, the Groupon code is a targeted deal. YMMV if you get it.

It should appear on the homepage at the top in a banner.

Not showing up for me, sadly. Bummer.

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 
Yeah, sorry, I got an email about it too. So I figured they were offering it to everyone.

This is great too, the ending, Mario's face right before the crash, all of it...

I finally had some free time so I picked up the game pad and played some Mario 3D World. Changed my mind about selling the Wii U. :lol:

Supermallet 06-07-14 03:21 PM

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 
And with that in mind I grabbed MK8 from Best Buy and also got the gamers club unlocked for $60. Brought the game down to $47.99 and I still got the free download of Pikmin 3. That's as good of a deal as I can think of.

If you pre-ordered, you could have gotten a $10 gas card too. Helluva deal for a couple AAA Nintendo titles.

Supermallet 06-07-14 03:58 PM

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 
Gas card? As in a card for actual gasoline in real life?

Michael Corvin 06-07-14 04:15 PM

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 
Yes.

Supermallet 06-07-14 04:26 PM

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 
That's an odd but I suppose appropriate tie-in.

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 
If I didn't already have Pikmin 3 (unplayed) I would have kept my pre-order.
