Is the Walmart MK8 bundle a good deal? Should I get it?

mikeslemonade3495d ago

I have feeling those WIIU gamecube control adapters and controllers will be sold out. The last time when Brawl came out, the gamecube controllers were expensive.

guitarded773495d ago (Edited 3495d ago )

Pretty good price. There may be some Black Friday deals coming up, but doubt they'd be much better than this, and you'd have to be fast to get them. If I was in the market to buy a Wii U, I'd get it (already have one). MK8 and NintendoLand are both great, and SSBU is just around the corner.

Just noticed that Fry's Wii U bundle with SM3D and NintendoLand for $275. That's another good bundle. If they're doing this now, Black Friday could see some sick deals.

Spenok3494d ago

It's about $10 the normal price, so not really a wonderfully amazing discount. However a discount is a discount.

andrewsimons3495d ago

Any one purchased Super Smash Bros. Bundle from Amazon?

timothyckeegan3495d ago

Is it true I can only use GCU 20% off for three pre-orders each year?

jholden32493495d ago

No. I've already pre-ordered over 100 games in the last nine months through GCU. There was until recently a limit of three copies per game you could buy, to prevent you from buying 20 copies of Mario Kart on release day and making a profit. But I heard they changed the policy to three copies of each game per system. So if the game comes out on five different systems, you could buy three copies on each system for a total of 15 copies of the game. But I would advise you verify that information before going forward, because I can't say with 100% certainty that is the case.

Personally, I never buy more than one copy of a game unles I'm buying a second copy for my brother on his birthday or something.

The best thing about GCU, is there is no limit on how many games you can buy. I have over 47 games pre-ordered right now at this very moment.

edgarohickman3495d ago

Avoid the Kmart pre-order unless getting it on release day isn't important to you and you're willing to potentially spend hours fighting with their support to get your order processed.

jacobvogel3495d ago

Someone stated before that he picked up Just Dance 2015 (39.99) and GCU membership (30.00). Total cost was actually only 61.99 because it took 8.00 off the price of the game right away.

jholden32493495d ago (Edited 3495d ago )

Exactly. This is the perfect opportunity for those without GCU to jump on board. You could go buy Bayonetta 2 and a 2 yr sub of GCU, and you'd only pay $48 for the game and another $30 for the subscription. Total of $78 (which is only $18 more than the game would've cost) and not only do you get the highest rated game of this generation, you get Bayonetta as well, one of the highest rated games of the past generation, AND 20% off every new game you buy for the next two years.

If someone says no to that then I would have to seriously question their judgment...

Spenok3494d ago (Edited 3494d ago )

Wait... you get 20% every new game you buy?

Back in black and gray. :)

Snookies12197d ago

Yeah, I like the black and gray best. I just don't care for most of the colored ones. They're a bit too flashy for me. Some of the themed ones are pretty cool though.

RupeeHoarder196d ago

the white/black OLED is my personal fav.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes - 10 Years of Brick Bustin'

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes made it's debut 10 years ago today, and remains a popular entry in the series of LEGO videogames.

badz149212d ago

The game so good I had to buy it twice on the PS4!

actually, it was because my toddler broke my first copy in half LOL

ChasterMies211d ago

My kids thought I was dumb for selling the Xbox 360 and buying a PS4 until Legal Marvel Superheroes dropped on PS+ a couple of months later. The game is like GTA for kids with couch co-op and a lot of humor.

badz149210d ago

The game is still one of the best LEGO games ever IMO. The sequel was a letdown for me

Don't care what anyone says, Smash isn't a traditional fighting game. May as well call Powerstone and Playstation All Stars fighting games. They're more of an arena fighter /party game.

NotoriousWhiz367d ago

You don't have to care what anyone says. It's not a traditional fighting game. But it is a fighting game.

gerbintosh367d ago

Not according to the creator, Sakurai. Link below

CrimsonWing69367d ago (Edited 367d ago )

I mean what makes them an arena fighter than say something like Tekken? Because there’s platforms?

NatsuXTheMaxspeed21367d ago

because theres a bunch of pokeballs and other random stupid stuff on stage that you can use at your advantage and flying ultra super power ball that you got to chase on the stage to get your ougi LMAO.

CrimsonWing69367d ago

@NatsuXTheMaxspeed21

I mean what it sounds like is they took a fighting game and “added” unique mechanics to it to me.

When I think arena game I think of things like Spawn: In the Demon’s Hand or Virtual-On.

Smash to me is a fighting game, they have fighting game tournaments for it. It just doesn’t jive with me to call it “not a fighting game” because you have poke-balls and platforms or because it has 4 players at once duking it out.

Power Stone I’d consider a fighting game as well. Hell, if you google what it is everyone calls these games “fighting games”. So yea, they’re fighting games…

Immagaiden367d ago

What’s next, you gonna say Mario Kart isn’t a racing game?

NatsuXTheMaxspeed21367d ago

oh its a racer but its not a realistic one like GT or Forza. only kids check for mario kart and smash .

Immagaiden367d ago

I didn’t say it was realistic. I said racing game. Does Burnout not being realistic make it not a racing game?

What does a demographic have to do with a genre? Do kids playing CoD make it any less an FPS? You see how ridiculous bringing up that subject is?

repsahj367d ago

"Only kids and kids at heart check for mario kart and smash".

-fixed!

FallenAngel1984367d ago (Edited 367d ago )

Nobody said it was a traditional fighter. Everyone acknowledges it as a platform fighter

PSASBR & Power Stone are fighting games, the former being a platform fighter and the latter an arena fighter

gleepot367d ago

You're correct, it isn't traditional. It's a fighting game though.

repsahj367d ago

Because if cute and lovable characters are fighting it's not a fighting game? XD As long there's a versus fighting, it is a fighting game.

MrNinosan367d ago

Including Smash Bros in a list of fighting games, is like including GTA in Racing games.

NotoriousWhiz367d ago

I hate to break it to you but smash bros has fighting game tournaments so it qualifies.

MrNinosan367d ago

"and here's how it competes against other fighters"

No, Mortal Kombat doesn't compete with games like Smash Bros? It's a different genre for a different audience.

NatsuXTheMaxspeed21367d ago

Anybody can host a tournament in their garage it doesnt mean it qualifies.

NotoriousWhiz367d ago

I'm going to assume you're not part of the FGC. However, I am, and I can tell you that there is a ton of overlap between people who play smash competitively and those who play other fighting games competitively.

Now for casuals, there is a lot less overlap between the two for sure.

PapaBop367d ago

While technically true, Leffen comes to mind, FGC and Smash community have always had a rocky relationship.

Thundercat77367d ago

And yet, If Smash Bros was over 80 million, you wouldn't be complaining. On the contrary, you would be bragging about it.

Immagaiden367d ago

Bad comparison. You do a LOT of things in GTA outside of a car while fighting is what you’re mainly doing in SSB

Ezio2048367d ago

Given the volume of games released, I would say Tekken has sold the best.

lodossrage367d ago (Edited 367d ago )

Yeah, that's a good point. Most of these games have parts to the franchise outside of traditional fighting games.

Like for example, with Mortal Kombat, do Special Forces, Mythologies: Sub: zero, and the Kollection count?

With Tekken does death by degrees or the tag tournament games count?

With Street Fighter, are we counting all the iterations of 2, 3, and 4? how about the ex series or alpha series?

There are a lot of variables at play here

Ezio2048367d ago

Even after including Tekken Tag, they have less titles compared to all MK and SF games.

CS7367d ago

Yeah, i realized that too. Very interesting.
