    How does the digital deluxe thing even work? I have a deluxe WiiU, but I have no idea how the promotion works. Am I supposed to activate something or do something?

    Silly me bought a Wii U just for Bayonetta 2, and I already own 5 games for it thanks to the damned sales. DAMN YOU NINTENDO.

    (Mario 3d world is okay but not amazing, Wonderful 101 legit awesome and I can't wait to pick it back up tomorrow)

    There was a steam sig here. It's gone now.

    These sales are only on the eShop, correct? I can't get Tropical Freeze from retail for the same sale price?

    This is an eShop sale. It's up to the retailer if they want to give it to you for a sale price.

    Urrrrrgh. Do I spend some coins on Starfox 64 or not? I would love to have the option of playing it without hooking up the old Nintendo 64, but the analog stick on the Classic Controller is bad for it. I can't decide!

    Every single line of dialog in Starfox 64 is permanently burned into my mind. I listened to someone play the remake for a few minutes and it made me physically ill. It's gotta be the original.

    Yeah, I really have no desire to play the 3DS because of that. To me, the original voices and dialogue are a huge part of the game's appeal.

    It also sucks that they changed Fox's voice actor in Smash, the new one just sounds weird.

    When does the Club Nintendo stuff rollover? The current items are listed as available until today. I have enough points to download a game, but I'm waiting until the next batch because I have Mario 2, and have no interest in Excitebike, but I need the credit to get another $5 eShop card from the DDP deal before the eShop sale ends on Thursday.

    Convoluted, I know, but it's the only way I'm going to be able to afford NSMBU before the sale ends.

    New NA downloads are up for Club Nintendo. HOWEVER! Kirby Superstar codes are bugged at the moment. It's probably best to hold off. There's lots of people on reddit having this issue, myself included. http://www.reddit.com/r/wiiu/comments/2ftjrp/new_club_nintendo_rewards_mario_bros_wii_u_kirby/

    It's more like...6 sort-of-games? They're more than mini-games, but not quite enough to really stand on their own, but completely amazing as a package.

    edit: Take what I say with a heaping dose of salt cause I only played the game when I was a kid and was probably just not good enough to get past things in some of the games.

    No, Kirby Superstar is legit good times. I spent hours replaying it in my youth, and my kids spent hours upon hours with the DS re-release.

    Revenge of Meta Knight is a fantastic self-contained platformer with story, and Marx's theme will remain one of my favorite boss tracks for all time.

    Kind of bummed there isn't more for the Mega Man category. Figures they wouldn't put X3 on sale (I was waiting just in case) :P Weird they left out the NES Zelda too (not that I don't already have them).

    No Link's Awakening (not that it's that expensive anyway).
    $30 is still a more than I want to pay for FE:A. $20 and I'd heavily consider it. $10 would be insta-buy.

    Oh well.

    I'm sure it is. To some people.

    Me? It looks interesting, but the demo didn't grab me THAT hard, and I've go so much other shit to play that I either need ULTRA-HYPE or AMAZING DEAL to buy anything these days.

    Oh whoops, I was thinking of getting SMB2 for my 3DS and I completely forgot about it. Oh well, I'd be okay with paying $5 instead of $3.50 if I ever decided to do so.

    I'm disappointed we didn't get whatever the other Fire Emblem was that Europe got in their sale (Sacred Stones?). Though I'm not even sure we HAVE that one in our VC because NoA is dumb, so not exactly surprised either.

    Really surprised they left off a lot of stuff they could have included with Zelda and Mega Man tho. Mega Man maybe that was Capcom's call, but leaving off the NES Zeldas is super weird to me. Again, not that I don't already have them ;)

    Edit: Also Awakening is amazing, and this is from someone who was never into Fire Emblem before that game .

    Is the eShop version worth getting? I've heard about some weird discrepancies between the physical and eshop versions.
