yeah they should still have them on sale for the next couple days if you have a Target nearby. +5% off for redcard. I live near a couple busy targets, one was sold out but other had like 10 in stock.

I bought Windwaker HD. I'm trying to remember what else I needed for Wii U.

I dunno what you wanted, but I made a list based on recs from Widestancer/others before:

From the bundle
[DK: Tropical Freeze
Nintendo Land
Super Smash Brothers
Mario 3D]

Windwaker HD
Bayonetta 2
Mario Kart 8
The Wonderful 101
Hyrule Warriors
Pikmin 3

I think that basically covers everything good released

e: and this what people said to keep an eye out for:

Yoshi's Wooly World,
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse,
Xenoblade Chronicles X,
the new Zelda,
the new Star Fox
Captain Toad

I just tried the wonderful 101 demo and I knew in the first two minutes I wouldn't buy that for a nickel so that one's out, and I assume the same for Bayonetta 2. Pikmin 3 I'll have to think about later...

By needed I meant the things I bought the Wii U for. Hyrule Warriors... Smash bros... Mario Kart... Windwaker...

It's only 20 bucks on the zon. Pikmin 3 is... 80... WTF.

Wonderful 101 is really really good, don't let the demo fool you. Also there's scram kitty, pushmo, and nano assault neo on the eshop that are all good.

It's not the demo, it's just the kind of game it is. No thanks.

Are you kidding me I waited all summer for a deal and finally bit the bullet and bought one full price last week.

do not buy nano assault neo

it's very pretty but it's things to do for ten minutes. it's an incredibly barebones twinstick shooter.

Edit: Didn't see this edit sorry. It was 49.99, which is the same as Amazon's price but I wanted it faster.

It's great. I've never played Wind Waker and I've been having a lot of fun. I really like the Tingle Bottle thing even though it's stupid as hell and I'm just getting like 12 year olds and people with names like linkzWifey

Nice haul... good choices here. I'll probably hold off on getting hyrule warriors for awhile, but otherwise I'll probably be getting all of these. Is nes nemix worth the price, because it looks epic but its a little pricey.

Ummm for 15 dollars I dunno... If it had leaderboards I'd probably say, yeah, this is the epic win poo poo and worth the price but 30 dollars for both is actually kind of a lot for what it is.

Yeah thats what I thought too. The concept is ownage IMO but the price is excessive, maybe if it goes on sale (lol) or if it becomes a club nintendo reward I'll pick it up. I'm going to need to get DKC at some point too, and I just saw the Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga is on the eshop :pwn: Nintendo is full of freaking win

Is the 3DS Remix gonna actually have new challenges or just stuff from the other 2? Leaderboards for friends is cool and all but not if it's the same challenges. Also it would be cooler if 3ds friends list worked like the wii u one instead of me having like a billion unconfirmed friends because they haven't entered my social security number into the drat thing
