Forums - Nintendo - Ubisoft WiiU games 30% off on eShop

Weird. A sale so soon? The system just launched!?


It would not surprise me at all if the revenue Ubisoft sees from 30% off eShop is roughly the same as revenue from a brick and mortar copy.

In other words, eShop prices only need to match physical prices long enough that the retailers don't get too pissed off at the publisher.

Time for me to grab Zombi U.

WHAT? Is this NA? How long does this last? Where was this news reported?

I might buy some! I don't have any Ubi games on my Wii U yet, but I was interested in ZombiU and AC3.


NA right now, checked the EShop about an hour ago, big banner for it.



Could at least provide the link.

Already got ZombiU good game finished it over the weekend, got the crap ending as I was mauled by the undead right at the end.



Around the Network

ESPN Sports Connection - 34.99
Your Shape: Fitness Evolved 2013 - 34.99
Rabbids Land - 34.99
Assassin's Creed III - 41.99
Just Dance 4 - 34.99
ZombiU - 41.99

Are the 30% off prices.



I appreciate that Ubisoft is making some attempt to placate enraged Wii U owners...
I already own ZombiU, so I don't think I'll be getting anything, though maybe Assassin's Creed III...
No never mind...
I'll save that forty dollars for a game that I want because I want to play it, not because it's discounted...



Have a nice day...

Mine shows the list of games (since we're all already on net) so they can window shop without going to a different device and no math required. ;P
