I don't know about you guys, but everytime I've gone to Target they have WAY overpriced games (especially on Nintendo consoles). The last time I went though (a few days ago) it seemed like they had an insane amount of Wii U games on sale for really cheap. One of those games was Assassin's Creed 3 (Wii U version) for $20. I figured, this game is probably worth $20 no matter how much of a crappy port it may be, so I decided to buy it. Wonderful 101 and a bunch of others were also on sale (1st and 3rd party games) so not sure if this is a nationwide thing or not but if your a Wii U owner and your resolved to not pay full price for a bad 3rd party port then here is your chance to buy them for the appropriate cost!

*On a side note, I'm enjoying A3. It has a lot of little glitches/bugs in it and I don't particularly care for all the killing, but I do like the story a LOT in the game which is the most important part for me and I absolutely love history so I'm fascinated by the story and all the little bio information pieces on everything.

I never buy games from Target, they almost never have stuff for sale that hasn't been for sale at another store way sooner.  



A bad port is worst $10-$20 for me.

I agree but for some reason I've only seen A3 as low as $30 prior to this (specifically I think at Gamestop) so I was surprised to see it this low at Target before anywhere else that I've seen.



I bought my WiiU console from Target. Got a $25 gift card.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

The problems you've encountered with AC3 are not unique to the WiiU experience btw.

Seriously? That surprises me considering this game has more glitches in it than I've ever experienced in a non-mmo game I think. Parts of certain buildings look terrible for a few seconds until they load correctly for example.



AC3 just sucked as a game in general. I didn't even finish it. Also why I didn't buy AC4. Just done with the series.

BTW, play the game on TV only with a pro-controller. you'll notice it run better. Seems the port didn't get beefy enough to handle the gamepad power drain.

Batman games have been awesome and well worth my $30. Probably would have went $40. I'm just a cheap gamer and tend to wait for sales. Since Nintendo doesn't do sales, I just buy it full price. Always worth it anyways.

AC4 is worth a jam, I hate AC series but I rented AC4 anyways cause the pirate ships stuff looked fun. And I was really surpised how good it was.



I enjoy the historical aspect of AC3 a lot (I'm a history buff) and I can relate to the story since I'm an American (unlike some of the more European/Middle Eastern based AC games).
