WaveRace Blue Storm HD? You may have just sold me another Wii U.

None of the is too unbelievable to be fake, since even if it were, that list is pretty much what's expected of Nintendo.

You make it sound like the media has been purposely sour on Nintendo for no reason.

Yea, for Wave Race, but I'd rather have a new one. Hopefully they don't price it like Wind Waker because $50 for a 15 year old WR ain't happening.

Back up to $60 now.

I'm not seeing anything about 20% off from Groupon. Is there a link or a code you can refer to?

I can't find a Groupon code, either.

Are you not selling your Wii U now, Supermallet?

I offered it up to a few people but haven't had any bites yet. Mario Kart for under $50, with the download code for a second game, is enticing enough to keep me in the fold.

Okay, the Groupon code is a targeted deal. YMMV if you get it.

It should appear on the homepage at the top in a banner.

Yeah, sorry, I got an email about it too. So I figured they were offering it to everyone.

This is great too, the ending, Mario's face right before the crash, all of it...

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

I finally had some free time so I picked up the game pad and played some Mario 3D World. Changed my mind about selling the Wii U.

And with that in mind I grabbed MK8 from Best Buy and also got the gamers club unlocked for $60. Brought the game down to $47.99 and I still got the free download of Pikmin 3. That's as good of a deal as I can think of.

If you pre-ordered, you could have gotten a $10 gas card too. Helluva deal for a couple AAA Nintendo titles.

Gas card? As in a card for actual gasoline in real life?

That's an odd but I suppose appropriate tie-in.

If I didn't already have Pikmin 3 (unplayed) I would have kept my pre-order.
