Despite having been out for just a couple of weeks, Amazon has already dropped the price of The Amazing Spider-Man: Ultimate Edition. It’s currently available for $30 with free shipping.

Skylanders Giants is another game on sale at the moment on Amazon. The Wii U, Wii, and 3DS Starter Kits are all going for $40. You’d be saving $35 (nearly 50%) with a purchase.

UK retailers report low interest in Wii Mini, some not stocking the console

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments

Hey… the Wii Mini launched in the UK yesterday. Did you remember? It wouldn’t be surprising if you said no given the lack of fanfare surrounding its release.

Retailers haven’t exactly been upbeat about the Wii Mini’s arrival either. One GAME outlet in the UK, amazingly enough, isn’t stocking the console due to low demand and lack of pre-orders. The store said: “We’ve pretty much had nothing. None at all.”

HMV doesn’t plan to gather stock either. That being said, it is willing to change that if consumers show interest in the Wii Mini.

Players download 130 million Rock Band songs

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments

In May 2011, Harmonix announced that Rock Band players had downloaded 100 million songs. Players have obtained another 30 million songs since then. 4,254 songs from 1,657 bands make up the Rock Band library.

Harmonix shared the figures during a PAX East 2013 panel tonight. The studio also gave fans a look at a Rock Band: Led Zeppelin proof-of-concept video as well as images and video for potential Pink Floyd and Pearl Jam releases. For Pink Floyd, Harmonix debuted a Photoshop-made image, though it was nothing more than an internally-created shot.

A couple of new games can be purchased at Best Buy at a discount. Kirby Mass Attack is available for $7.99 while Sin and Punishment 2 is going for $9.99.

Both games are available for shipping at the moment. I’m not sure how much stock Best Buy has on-hand, but you could also look for the two games in-store.
