A few worthwhile deals are running on Amazon at the moment.

First up, LEGO City: Undercover is currently available for $39.99. All purchases come with a Chase McCain minifigure, valued at $9.99.

New Super Mario Bros. U is also on sale for $39.99. Get ready for the New Super Luigi content by tackling the “original” Wii U game.

Last but not least, you can grab Call of Duty: Black Ops II for $29.99. Activision’s first-person shooter was initially priced at $60, so you’ll be saving $30.


Coaster Creator 3D developer Big John Games is bringing Big Bass Arcade: No Limit to the 3DS eShop. Originally planned for a retail release on Wii, the game has now been converted into a digital product for Nintendo’s handheld.

Big John Games already completed the porting process. It’s now being tested by Nintendo.

Big Bass Arcade includes ten lakes, forty tournaments and challenges, seven fish species, ten lures, and a record tracking system. The 3DS’ touch screen or button inputs can be used to reel in a fish.

Warner Bros. hasn’t announced a release date for LEGO Legends of Chima: Laval’s Journey as of yet. But according to Amazon and GameFly, the game will launch for the 3DS and PlayStation Vita (the DS version is due out later in 2013) on June 25. GameStop lists a June 18 date, but the point here is that Laval’s Journey will be out in mid to late June, based on retailer information.

Only a tentative summer window has been confirmed thus far. If LEGO Legends of Chima really is due out in about a month, Warner Bros. may want to make the news official soon.


Man… how disappointing. No one ever expects licensed games to be impressive, but since this one comes from Firebrand Games, I was hoping that the final result wouldn’t be this much of a letdown.



Those who pre-order Batman: Arkham Origins from Amazon will receive playable Deathstroke downloadable content. That’s on top of the previous offer of $10 credit.

The Deathstroke DLC isn’t listed on Amazon’s Arkham Origins product page, but it is mentioned on the retailer’s main video game page. We’ll likely be hearing something official about this tomorrow when the game’s full trailer hits.
