Nintendo eShop Deals & Sales

[The Shoemaker]

Hope we get Mega Man X3 next week, as I have been wanting to play the SNES version one for years now, without selling a kidney.

I happened upon a retro game store in Toronto and saw a copy of this priced at $499.99. I couldn't believe my eyes! I think I snagged a copy for $30 or $40. It's not even particularly good. Is it just that rare?

The VC version should be fine enough for anyone who's interested, that's for sure!

You got real lucky to grab Mega Man X3 at that price, even if your copy is cart only. The Mega Man games aren't cheap in the first place, particularly on the SNES. It is indeed rare, as I see cart only copies go for £150 (approx USD $249.99). Probably because this one was released so late in the SNES lifespan, and again take into account that Mega Man games didn't exactly get a high print run back in the day.

You'd think the wide digital availability of the games would bring down the price! I guess it's just a collector's thing.

There is currently a The Legend of Zelda sale on the European eShop, I don't know about the NTSC.

Anyway, I snagged Zelda 2 on the 3DS eShop for €3.49, 1.5 euro less than normal.

Cubemen 2 looks pretty cool, cross platform multiplayer with Steam and IOS. Could be something we all play!

[slangman]

There is currently a The Legend of Zelda sale on the European eShop, I don't know about the NTSC.

Anyway, I snagged Zelda 2 on the 3DS eShop for €3.49, 1.5 euro less than normal.

Both The Legend of Zelda and Zelda II are 60Hz.

The rest of Zelda games on the both 3DS and Wii U should have a discount this week for Europe. Will pass on A Link to the Past, as its the same old 50Hz slowed down crap, and I have that on my NTSC-U Wii, at the proper speed.
