The two retailers currently have Wii Remote Plus controllers (including the special Mario/Luigi designs), the black Wii U Pro Controller, and more on sale for 20 percent off. You can find the full set on Best Buy here. Amazon has Wiimotes on sale here and the black Wii U Pro Controller here.

Finally, Best Buy is letting consumers pre-order the Wii Fit U and Balance Board bundle for $25 off, and Amazon has Batman: Arkham Origins for $20 off.

Alongside its traditional weekly offers, GameStop is hosting a few extra sales for this weekend only. There are a few items here that were introduced in Wednesday’s circular, though you may find an extra discount or two that peaks your interest.

Here’s this weekend’s ad in full:

This retailer almost got things right! The Wii Mini is being advertised in the picture above for €99, but it’s surrounded by a prominent bin for the Mario/Luigi Wii U bundle. At least the sign does accurately label the console as “Wii Mini”!
