If you haven’t taken advantage of the Super Smash Bros. Amazon deal yet, today is your last day to get it. Amazon is offering the game for ten bucks off the price for $39.99 (it’s normally fifty bucks), and if you order it within the deal timeframe, you get a ten dollar Amazon gift card.
Hop on it! Go get Super Smash Bros. Brawl and get your free money!
Amazon just marked down a handful of games to around $16. With gas prices at $4 a gallon, you can stay home and play, and have Amazon pay for gas.
Emergency Mayhem - $15.88
Target: Terror – $15.88
Battle of the Bands – $19.85
Sonic Riders Zero Gravity – $19.85
Brunswick Pro Bowling – $19.99 (this is down ten bucks from regular price)
Apparently for the FIRST TIME EVER, Amazon is going to have a bunch of game deals in their Friday Gold Box Deals! If you haven’t done this or tried it, Gold Box deals are pretty cool – just random deals based on a category or topic, and they’re usually pretty good. We missed a deal a few months ago on an $800 elliptical trainer for $200 bucks off of the retail price. I’m sure you can imagine how hard we kicked ourselves.
Here’s how it will work:
They mean it too – if it’s gone, it’s gone, and you’ve missed out.
Remember – this starts at MIDNIGHT on Friday, so that means in about eleven hours. We’re looking forward to seeing what kind of games we’re gonna be able to snag!

Here are some game deals we’ve noticed around the web today:
I’ve been keeping my eye on Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection, so I’ll be picking up a copy at $19.99.
Amazon has a deal going right now where you are given a $10 Amazon gift card with your Super Smash Bros. Brawl purchase. Looks like this offer is good until June 26. Jump on it!
Today only, Baroque is 35% off on Amazon. The $25.99 price tag is a great deal if you are looking for a game with “hardcore dungeon crawling RPG action”.
Today only, Cabela’s Big Game Hunter is on sale for $14.99. That’s a savings of 63% off the retail price of $39.99. This is a great deal if hunting is your thing.
I haven’t played this yet, but We Ski is on sale over at Amazon. It’s the cheapest I’ve seen it, at $28.99.
If you’ve played this and want to submit a review, drop us an email via the contact form!
We check Amazon pretty frequently for Wii stuff. Here’s some deals for today:
Guitar Hero III Bundle: $69.99 (down 20 bucks!)
Through June 26 (and while supplies last), if you purchase Super Smash Brow. Brawl at Amazon for $39.99, you’ll get a free $10 gift card. That’s $10 off the retail price of the game, plus $10 to spend on more Wii games. It’s a win all around.
I found a few titles on sale during my hunt for a new game.
Today’s Amazon Gold Box is loaded up with Wii game deals. Super Paper Mario and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn have already sold out. At least 2 of the 3 “Lightning Deals” left for today hint at being Wii games. The next one will show up at noon Central.
Today only, Amazon has Trauma Center: New Blood for $29.99. This is $20 off the retail price, and shipping is free.
Trauma Center: New Blood is one of my favorite Wii games. I tend to like the nerdier titles, and not shooter-type games. This game fits the bill. It’s entertaining and does not have a lot of movement on screen (which tends to give me a headache).
The game makes good use of the Wii controllers to manipulate the surgical tools (you will need a nunchuk to play). The storyline can be a bit odd and lengthy, but you can skip past them by pressing the minus (-) button during the heavy dialogue. After you get past the introductory story for each level, the surgeries themselves are fun to complete. With the game’s two-player mode, two people collaborate on the same surgery.
Trauma Center: New Blood is challenging, even in easy mode: right now I’m stuck on a level where I have to complete 3 surgeries in 10 minutes. I’ve found the walkthrough on IGN to be helpful when I get stuck on a level.
I paid full retail price for this game, and feel that I got my money’s worth. At $29.99, it’s an even better deal.
This week, Toys “R” Us has the Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock with Guitar bundle on sale for $69.99 plus shipping. That’s $20 off the regular retail price. Shipping will run you about $8.
Through Saturday, you can buy two Wii games for $30 at BestBuy.com. The games are regularly priced at $19.99, saving you $10. The are eleven titles to choose from, including Mercury Meltdown Revolution, which I enjoy and recommend, especially at this price point.
Amazon has Battalion Wars 2 on sale for $32.99, down from $49.99. This offer may be good for today only. Jim’s been eyeing this one, so I think we’ll grab it now at this low price.
I have, as of late, found myself very much addicted to Wii Sports‘ Golf. I have driven my score well above “pro” status, and it’s a ton of fun every time I start playing. The basic gist of Wii Sports Golf is nothing terribly fancy – either a 3-tier, 3-hole challenge that places you on 3 holes of the course based on their difficulty level (beginner, intermediate, or advanced), or a 9-hole game. Controls for Wii Sports Golf are pretty basic, and I have found that they actually work more efficiently and consistently if you swing the remote like you would a golf club. I have had some difficulties with putting, which seems to be the most complicated bit of Wii Sports Golf – the velocity and angle in which you swing the putter seem to be a bit of a challenge from time to time. However, this gets better with each game, and I’ve been hitting in lots of 30 to 50 foot puts lately!
There is an accessory if you so choose to purchase it – a little golf club head extension for your remote. It’s cute. The best value seems to be to purchase Intec’s Wii Ultimate Action Pack – it comes with a baseball bat extension, a tennis racket extension, a little sword extension, and the golf club – all for under 20 bucks. Check it out.
Wal-Mart has Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Wii available for pre-order at $19.82 today. I’ve seen this at $49.99 elsewhere. Grab it while you can.
Update: The deal appears to be dead.
Update #2: As sometimes happens, this deal was too good to be true. It was a typo on the site, and all orders at this price have been canceled. Bummer!
You can save 25% all in-stock used video games and DVDs at GameStop.com using coupon code AFF25. This offer is not valid on bundled items, consoles, or accessories. Our local GameStop had a slim selection of used Wii games, but it looks like the GameStop.com web site has a sizable offering.
Amazon now has Cooking Mama: Cook Off for $29.99. I can’t decide if I’m interested in this game or not. I typically go for dorkier storylines, and “fastpreneur” games, so I think I might like it, but then I read the reviews on Amazon and think maybe I’m too old for this. The <$30 price tag makes me give this game more consideration.
