Once again Nintendo is the source of the Gold Box sales.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox/ref=cs_top_nav_gb27

Yoshi's Island DS for $20. You can get it cheaper.

The Daily sale is SSBB for $26 which is a fantastic deal. Anyways here are some "hints" for the other games and the times when they go up. All times are Pacific. (GMT-8)

6am: Set out on a wild and colorful quest to rescue kids investigate an ominous island.
8am: Set sail for waters unknown.
10am: Defy gravity across wild alien terrain.
12am: Run, jump, and stomp your way through unimaginable challenges.
2pm: Race and battle your friends all over the world.
4pm: Awaken your hero and animal within.
6pm: Beat Bowser in the race to the crystals.
8pm: Travel to Sinnoh, complete your Pokedex, and become Champion.

Some of these are very obvious.

    Could be the ten am game.

    6 was Yoshi
    8 is probably Phantom Hourglass
    10 could be Galaxy, I guess it could be MP3:Corruption, but I think it is Galaxy.
    12 could also be Galaxy or NSMB or something terrible
    2 is probably one of the Mario Karts though it could be DKR DS
    4 is very much Twilight Princess
    6 is killing me because I can't figure out a modern game with Mario and races and crystals. it sounds so familiar though.
    8 is Diamond or Pearl.

    So I figure that the last one is Diamond and Pearl, and the 2 pm one is one of the mario karts. What are the other ones? Is the alien terrain one metroid?

    So is Brawl for 26 bucks like all day?

    Cause currently my plan is to wait for galaxy (or another wii game that I want) and get that and brawl on the same order

    good plan yes/no?

    Cool, thanks for the heads up. Even though I have a Wii, I don't have many first party titles. Metroid is the only Nintendo IP that's ever really done anything for me, but I've heard nothing but good things about Galaxy. I will definitely pick it up on the cheap.

    Sounds good unless they run out of Brawl.

    Argh, already over budgeted fun money on the month so I'm dying right now seeing these deals. PH and TP would be absolute buys if I wasn't over.

    Typically i would just say "fuck the budget" and get them anyway, but wives are a wrathful bunch. Especially when they're pregnant.

    Hmmmmmmmmm. Pokemon.

    I played red waaaaaay back when, and enjoyed it but got burnt out about halfway through.

    Is there enough new good stuff in Diamond to keep me playing?

    If you got burnt out half way through Red, then I'd say don't pick this up. It's honestly more of the same. I loved Red, and played the living shit out of it. And I buy every iteration that comes out, but last about 3 hours max on them.

    I don't know what it is.

    Hm. Well, I had fun before I got tired of it, and those freaky little critters are appealing to me. If they can beat the current used price ($21) I may hop on it, but considering Phantom Hourglass is going for $22 I doubt it.

    There's definite improvements with each version, I'd say that DP is way better than RB. If you've got the time to put in, then you should pick it up.

    Dang it..

    With the exception of Yoshi's Island and Mario Party, I own all those already.. :( Was hoping for some Mario Kart Wii.

    Recently grabbed Diamond from Goozex, last Pokemon I played was Red/Yellow. Learning all the new pokemon is going to be a pain.

    edit:: 40% within 5 minutes. I think I'll wait on it though, my backlog is big enough, and I'm not feeling the need for it just yet. I was actually hoping this was Metroid, I want to hop on that next.

    I've got Twilight Princess for the 'cube and enjoyed it, but I've got a Wii now - is it worth gettnig for the Wii to play again with the motion controls, or not? I presume I'd get a better deal through this than I would elsewhere.

    Not really.

    It was made with the GC in mind, and the only real nice part of the Wii controls is the pointer for arrows, etc. Some of the special moves feel cool when you pull them off with the motion controls, but I don't think it's worth picking up again.

    Speaking of, I need to actually get back and beat that game. :)
