Amazon is outdoing itself this Friday, though, by offering nine -- yes, nine -- deals for cheap gamers like ourselves. Aside from the "Deal of the Day" (which will go up at 12am PST, as usual), the online retailer will present eight lightning deals throughout the day. Starting at 6am PST, each deal will run for two hours, with the last occurring at 8pm.
Note: The Gold Box says "Nintendo" sales, so while we bet there will be at least one Wii game on sale, there might be other hardware, software, or accessories on Amazon's plate. Either way, we'll keep you posted on Friday.
[Thanks, sn1per!]

This is awesome, except for the fact that I just bought Brawl yesterday from Amazon. I'm assuming that will be one of the games, since the "free $10 dollar gift card when you buy Brawl" deal expires at midnight on Thursday. If they drop the price even further, I won't be extremely happy. But, it was worth $30 to me at the time, so I guess it should still be.

If Brawl is featured tomorrow as a cheaper price, couldn't you buy it and return your other order?
Has it even shipped out yet? You could cancel the order.

So if the list is to be believed, lightning round titles will be:
- Wii Wheel (6 am PST?)
- Mario Mart Wii with Wii Wheel (8 am PST?)
- Activision Monster Jam (10 am PST?)
- Nyko Wii Charge Station (12 pm PST?)
- Activision Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock Bundle (2 pm PST?)
- Super Smash Bros. Brawl (4 pm PST?)
- MTV Rock Band Special Edition (6 pm PST?)
- Wii Remote Controller (8 pm PST?)
Note: I am just guessing the times.

Where'd you come up with that? It says Nintendo games, so it's just games published by Nintendo. That means no Activision Monster Jam, no GH3, and no Rock Band (they're not Nintendo games). It also means no Wii Wheel, no Charge Station, and no Remote, because they're all peripherals, not games.

No it says Nintendo Icons... That could be anything.

From source:
"On Friday, June 27, 2008, for the first time ever, *Nintendo video games* will be featured as the top nine deals in the Amazon.com Gold Box."

Also, it's not just wii games. The email from Amazon said I was getting the notification because I had shown interest in games for either the Nintendo DS *or* Wii consoles.
