Just out of curiosity (and a strange desire to kick myself in the head for missing this), what were the other games on sale? (Besides Metroid & Paper Mario)

Hope the next one is Fire Emblem, but it sounds more like Zelda. Love TP, but have it already.

@supercrap: Do you just play the games at friend's houses?

I'm all ready swamped with a back log of games for the Wii, 360, and PC, but I might splurge if they put up some good ones. Work sucks.

If it's No More Heroes I might get it.

That's about it. Maybe if RE4 could get any cheaper...

I'll buy No More Heroes, even though I don't have a Wii. (I own Galaxy, 3 360 games, and a 360 controller, though I have none of the systems. I don't really do commitment.)

I'm thinking there will be one or two titles that really stand out and the others will be some lame third party games. But here's hoping for some awesome deals on some great games!

@Raziel66: Thanks for actually being helpful! I checked out the link you posted and found the only video game listed on that "deal of the day" page was Rock Band (360), discounted from 56.99 to 34.99 ($22 savings).

That's roughly 40%.

@sadkermit:

Yea that was pretty much the age range. I wasn't in any way saying people here should play it or not and I wasn't saying you shouldn't judge it without playing it I was just honestly curious to see if anyone had actually bought it.

To all the new people that aren't used to the gold box deals, go to lightningdeals.com that day to see what all the deals are going to be. There are a few websites that offer the info, but that's the one I go to.

Much easier to do that than having to run to the computer every few hours.

Not sure how much it retails for normally, but Zack and Wiki is only $29.99 right now anyway on Amazon. Seems like a pretty good price to me.

sonofnone — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 18:26:22 MST

I'm a huge fan of Amazon's gold box and lightning deals. It's like Kmarts old "blue light specials" only without the whole snotty-nosed kids being flung through the air as crazed parents whip them around corners ordeal. I think sometime last week they had Warhawk w/headset for $40. Definately worth checking out.

Ilchymis — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 18:20:03 MST

I just picked up No More Heroes at Best Buy with all kinds of coupons and such that made the total come out to $35. I can't really see myself paying much more than $35 for a game right now, so maybe this Amazon deal will work out well for me. So far I have Mario Galaxy ($35) and Zack and Wiki ($32) in addition to NMH in my collection, so I think I'll just have to keep trying to buffer my collection through good deals.

Brawl will be the end of me.

sadkermit - soon to be banned for standing up to the ummm nazi. — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 18:14:00 MST

@PirateGrum: I haven't...but since you have made a confession - how about another?

Tell me the target demographic was kids, 10 and under. Just tell me that. Looking at it, that's what it smacks of, and that's why it won't ever garner any love from this audience.

FWIW - I haven't played the game because I'm not into ninjas....and gingerbread is overrated.

homerj — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 18:12:30 MST

In other news, Amazon bought a bunch of Wii games, expecting people to buy non-Nintendo made games. So now they have thousands sitting in a warehouse they need to get rid of quickly.

To all the Ninjabread Man haters, I actually worked on this game and I am by no means defending it. I'm just curious as to how many people have actually played it? And also I'd like to let everyone know that a Ninjabread Man 2 has been announced - [217.199.176.105]

P.S. I don't still work there.

@ceilingFANBOY: now with 100% more fanboy: Yep. It's gonna be shit. "Make shopping for Wii games fun!" Yes, because 'fun' is spending ANY amount of money on 99% of non-Nintendo software (like they'd discount Super Paper Mario).

Considering they just had a Platinum GameCube for $49.99 the other day as the deal of the day, it wouldn't surprise me if they are just trying to clear out stock of Nintendo crap that they will never sell, a la Ninja Breadman.

Will most likely consist of a mix of completely worthless titles along with great first party titles that anyone with a Wii already owns.

Benjamin Linus — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 16:38:11 MST

Yeah watch, Ninjabread Man FTW!

I guess we will see tomorrow, but I hope they actually put up some decent games for sale. I think there will only be a couple great games, and their allocation will be smaller then the crappy games, thus only the lucky few will be able to snatch up the good ones.

Kavatar — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 16:37:29 MST

I'm guessing the five games will be:

1. Ninjabread Man
2. Donkey Kong Barrel Blast
3. Carnival Games
4. Boogie
5. Cooking Mama: Cook Off

Wonder if they count WiiSports as one game or as 5 cause some A-Holes on amazon sell Wii's with a supposed 16 games or so and all you actually get is WiiSports and WiiPlay
Misleading information FTL!

nukednova — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 16:34:41 MST

I pretty much have every Wii game that I want, other than Trauma Center. So here's to hopeless hoping that they cut the price even more!

My guess is that it's going to be some Bratz games mixed in with some Horsez games. Or they might pull punches and make it something like Mario Galaxy/Metroid Prime 3. We shall see!
