They seem to do about the same as everyone else, as far as I can tell. Maybe a bit more, but other re-releases aren't as bad as you're trying to make them sound. I don't know how the same price as any other Wii U at $50 is a good deal.

re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

Actually, isn't standard price $59?

re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

Apparently, Toys R Us is having a buy 1, get 1 free sale on certain Wii U titles next week:

• Fast & Furious
• Call of Duty Black Ops 2
• 007 Legends
• Epic Mickey 2
• The Walking Dead Survival Instinct
• Batman Arkham City Armored Edition
• Lego Batman 2
• Madden NFL 13
• Fifa Soccer 13
• Scribblenauts Unlimited

Less flexible than Target's B2G1F sale that's also running next week, but...

Generally, although a few Wii U games are debuting at $49.99, such as Sonic: Lost Worlds, Wii Party U (which also includes a MotionPlus controller), and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze.

The idea of $10 separating a remake and a brand new game with from-the-ground-up designs, new gameplay mechanics, new worlds, new monsters, etc., etc,. etc. makes no sense to me. I'm sure Wind Waker HD will be a huge success regardless (and again, I'm buying it too!), but it does make me a little nervous about what the future may hold.

re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

Damn, guess it is.

re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

Got my Wii U all set-up, just downloading WindWaker now. I'm typically not a fan of downloads unless they're really low cost....but I just can't wait two more weeks to play this game.

re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

Target's sale is B2G1 on all Wii U games, right?

re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

I notice that that Scribblenauts Unmasked, the DC tie-in game, comes out on the 24th. I might wait till that comes out to do the B2G1 at Target.

re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

It's CosmicFade, I will add you when I get home later. If anyone else wants to add me, let me know so I can reciprocate!

re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

I thought it seemed a little off. I'll be home in just a while and I will actually add you, haha!

Includes a White or Black 32gb system, controlpad/tablet, Wii Remote Plus, 30 days of Nintendo x Joysound Wii Karaoke U service, digital copies of New Super Mario Bros U and Wii Party U. $332, not bad for Japan.

re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

Minor correction: the one with Wii Fit U and the Fit Meter is a tiny bit pricier at $352, coming in at $20 more than the other bundle. They range from $13 to $33 more than the game-less premium Wii U over on that side of the Pacific. That's a whole lotta value if they can bring it over here.

re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

I left the Wii Fit U one out since it doesn't include the required scale-whatever-thing that I guess is required? I dunno.

re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

It's the black one you're showing on the right. Wii Fit U and the Fit Meter are listed beneath Wii Party U.

re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

Gotcha, that's what I get for only half looking at what I'm doing.

re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

My local Target didn't get any WiiU Scribblenauts Unmasked. Plus they have no Rayman games, and I didn't realize Wind Waker isn't coming out until next month. Does the buy three games and return 2 still work, because there's no way I'm finding three games for the B2G1F.

re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

does anyone want a wind waker download code? i bought the deluxe system but im gonna wait on the physical game.. ill sell it for $39 (about $15 below eshop price)... if this is not allowed on these boards i apologize

re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

Try your luck in the Video Game Exchange sub-forum. http://forum.dvdtalk.com/video-game-exchange-forum-30/

re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

Yes, it still works. I don't see Target ever changing the way they handle the b2g1 promo.

re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

Has anyone played the Wonderful 101 yet? My son was enamored with the display video at Target last week? I'm not even sure what the genre is but was thinking it'd make a good Xmas present for him.

re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

How's that work? 33% off each?

So is Zombie U worth $20?

re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

I'm not very far into it at all (the intro and entirety of the first operation), but I'm having a blast so far. Sort of an action/puzzle game. I've read complaints about camera issues and hiccups with getting the symbols drawn on the gamepad to properly register, though, and I can see that being an issue later on.

re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

I grabbed a used copy of Nintendoland from GS for $8...I'm having a blast with everything I've played except the dumb balloon game.

re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

I haven't had a chance to hit Target up yet. I guess if they don't have Scribblenauts Unmasked I can get Rayman. The other ones I want are Pikmin and Wonderful 101.

re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

Maybe I'll get Rayman, Scribblenauts, and Pikmin, then.

re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

Finally found a Target with Scribblenauts Unmasked. Still no Rayman, but that led me to confirm that Disney Infinity, which is already on sale for 60, is eligible for B2g1f
