It was Best Buy's black friday deal. Was available online. The guy behind me at gamestop asked about it and they got kinda indignant (why???) about it - saying it was a very limited run that no one actually could get... (wut?). To clarify, it was this box, plus either a red Mario or green Luigi Wii Remote Plus and Nintendo Land U game. And I think it was $319, not $299. Still a great deal IMHO.
I rolled over in bed at the beach on black friday, grabbed my tablet from the nighstand, tapped the best buy bookmark for the deal, punched in the order, and then rolled over to sleep off my hangover. Easiest xmas shopping Ive done in years.
Your wording kinda threw me... yeah, those are all Wii U games. That's a helluva good deal. I had checked craisglist here and there were 2 listings, both near retail prices. I went with a new box.
Im glad to read so many are buying WiiU's. I wasn't initially on board, but Im starting to remember all the fun I had playing NES/SNES/N64. Havent owned a Nintendo machine since that N64, but those games were all so much fun, even if they werent the most graphically sophisticated. I really dont care much about cartoony graphics, as long as it can output them in HD.
Cant wait to play Super Mario with my boys.
