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.

Until the 26th, its in eShop and Nintendo (of America's) site/facebook/twitter.

Most likely an apology-sale. They probably didn't expect the amount of backlash they got

So the only game I want is AC3 as I already have ZombiU and none of the rest interest me. WHERE'S MY RAYMAN!!!!!!

But let's see...

eShop $41.99 plus local tax and its a digital copy but I get Nintendo Club points and 10% back.
Gamestop $39.99 plus local tax and its fucking gamestop and their everything is actually open BS.
eBay ~$34.

I guess I'll do eShop this Friday as its a good deal when you consider no game laying around and I get the 10% back which brings its price closer to the eBay price. Thus, I'd rather buy new. Man this game plus its DLC will take a chunk out of my available 25GBs of space.

EDIT: AC3 will take about 17GB of space I guess. Not sure if that includes its patches and such. Wow. I will need an external drive soon. Buying full retail eats up some space.

Cool. I was expecting launch games to get reduced fairly soon. I know some are down, like Batman I think is down 10 bucks. Most big 3rd party games get reduced a few months after launch. I think I'll wait for ZombiU to get reduced at retail since I still have a lot of games to finish. It should be cheap by summer. Want to try it but I hate survival horror.

I actually have a 1TB at home. I just need to get the content off of it to GDocs as I've already started doing. Once that's done, I can wipe it and give it to my WiiU.

Well yes, or you could just go to the eShop using your WiiU or am I missing something here!

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


Updated just for you

They do have a demo u can try u know. This isn't your typical survival horror as this game is actually fun, scary, and can be frustrating which adds to the fun factor when you actually beat it. Then try survival haha 



TheLastStarFighter on 19 February 2013

I may give the demo a go... definitely looks cool.

Yeah I think its more of an apology sale. Since ever single title is an Ubisoft title. I guess they didn't expect the backlash from the stunt they pulled with Rayman. But I am probably going to buy ACIII and the Rabbids.

 

I found out about it when I booted up my Wii U after work. Still waiting for the .30 F-Zero that is suppose to be out soon (probally this week because it has been about a month)
