House of the messenger bag

Filed under: Sales

Earlier this week, we informed you lovely readers that House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return was super cheap at Circuit City. Now Amazon also has the game listed at the irresistible price of $19.99. We really don't mean to keep shoving this game down your throats, but how can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat? Yet, if you didn't buy House of the Dead earlier, there's probably nothing that would motivate you to get it now except an even bigger price drop.

It's also worth noting that Amazon's "Deal of the Day" is the Wii messenger bag pictured above. If you geekified hipster types were looking for a way to lug around your Wii, this bag for $19.99 isn't too bad of a deal. But, to be honest, there are probably better means that you can use to transport your console. That's just our opinion, though. What do the rest of you Wii aficionados think?

Trauma Center: New sale

Posted Apr 17th 2008 3:00PM by Candace Savino
Filed under: Sales

Is it us, or has Amazon been a great place for Nintendo shoppers lately?

In any case, today's "Deal of the Day" is Trauma Center: New Blood, the most recent (until July 1st!) Trauma Center game on the market. If Atlus decides to bring the series back to the DS for good, this may be the last time you get to operate with your Wiimote.

The deal also provides pretty decent savings, as the game is marked down by $17 (meaning it will cost you $32.99). Is anyone planning on getting this today? If so, just make sure you order it before 3am EDT.

Deal of the Day of Honor

Should you need a good dose of point and shoot in your games library, you might feel inclined to take advantage of Amazon's "Deal of the Day." At $32.99, you can shoot up some Nazis for pretty cheaply by getting the Wii version of Medal of Honor: Heroes 2. We think it's a pretty good game (unless you live in Australia), and it used to be Dave's favorite Wii title to play on Game Night until that Nintendo brawler came out.

Does anyone think that they'll bite on today's deal? If so, just make sure you do it before 3am EDT.

Smackdown someone for $25 today

Filed under: Sales

Not many of you seemed too excited when WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 came out, but then again, that was the same week as Super Mario Galaxy's North American release. Also, at that time, the game would have cost you a cool $50 to buy.

Now, though, thanks to Amazon and its video game "Deal of the Day" promotion, you can get the game for half the price (or, for those of you that are terrible at math, $25). As per usual, this sale will end at 3 A.M. EDT, so if you want this title you better be ready to succumb to your inner impulse buyer.

Also, if you like to wrassle but aren't too keen on doing so on your Wii, today's DotD extends to every other console under the sun.

Resident Evil: Under Priced

If you're one of the few who decided this game wasn't worth owning at the $50 price range, you might want to give it a second look. Amazon's Deal of the Day has Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles on sale for the low price of $30. As if the prospect of shooting horde after horde of the undead wasn't enough to sell you ...

But, in case it wasn't enough to sell you on the game, this should sell you on it. The game will also ship for free from Amazon, so no need to plunk down any extra dough there. If you don't know why we're so excited for an on-rail shooter, you haven't read our review of the game.

Note: If you're interested in this sale, don't hesitate. It was already pulled once while we've been watching it. The game is no doubt a hot item right now.

Donkey Kong: Bargain Blast

Posted Nov 19th 2007 1:30PM by JC Fletcher
Filed under: News

After only about a month of availability, Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast has had $20 knocked off its price. But it's not because it's a horrible failure or something -- it's just Amazon's Deal of the Day! It's not often that first-party stuff gets discounted so soon, even just for a day. If you're looking for a Donkey Kong-themed racing game on the Wii involving bongo-barrel-shaped jetpacks, then this is probably the game for you, as it's the only game that description fits. For now.

With the extra money, you can go buy a couple of bongo controllers ... and ... not use them with the game!

Deal of the day: Red Steel and Raving Rabbids on the cheap

Posted Jan 17th 2007 12:45PM by David Hinkle
Filed under: Fan stuff


Like their previous sale, Circuit City is making available to consumers two high-profile Wii games on the cheap. The first title, Red Steel, might not be the kind of game that consumers would go rushing to purchase due to its low review scores. However, the second title, Rayman: Raving Rabbids, received much better scores. Still, for the small price of $30 USD, is it worth it to check out Red Steel?

How many of you plan on taking advantage of this deal?

[Thanks Gonzo!]

Deal of the Day: Zelda Wii on the cheap

Posted Jan 2nd 2007 12:35PM by David Hinkle
Filed under: Fan stuff

Priced at $37.49 US (including free shipping), The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is the lowest price we've seen for a Wii game yet. Sadly though, Circuit City's website will not allow you to purchase the game and pick it up in-store, meaning you'd have to wait a few days for it to arrive on your doorstep.

Now, we also understand that pretty much anyone who bought the Wii already also bought this game, so this could possibly be useless news to a majority of you. What say you all?

[Thanks totufa!]
