As Jim mentioned yesterday, today’s Amazon Gold Box is filled with Nintendo Deals.

All day long (until stock runs out), you can pick up Super Smash Bros. Brawl at an AMAZING $25.99. If you happened to pick up Super Smash Bros. Brawl while there was a $39.99 plus gift card special running for the past few weeks, make sure to request a refund of the difference today per Amazon’s 30 day price policy.

Today’s “Lightning Deals” are:

• 8am Central Yoshi’s Island DS (DS) (Reg $29.99)
• 10am Central The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (DS) (Reg $34.99)
• 12pm Central Super Mario Galaxy (Wii) (Reg $49.99)
• 2pm Central New Super Mario Bros. (DS) (Reg $32.99)
• 4pm Central Mario Kart DS (DS) (Reg $34.99)
• 6pm Central The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii) (Reg $49.99)
• 8pm Central Mario Party DS (DS) (Reg $29.99)
• 10pm Central Pokemon Diamond (DS) (Reg $33.99)

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:

• At 12:01 AM PST the first deal will be the Gold Box Deal of the Day. Its special discounted price will be available all day only on Friday, June 27 (or until Amazon run out.)
• Starting at 6:00 AM PST, the second deal will be featured as a Lightning Deal. This special price will be available for the following two hours.
• Each of the seven remaining deals will also be Lightning Deals. Starting every two hours that follow at 8:00 AM, 10:00 AM, 12:00 PM, 2:00 PM, 4:00 PM, and 6:00 PM PST, and 8:00 PM each deal will be available for two hours after it begins.
• Discounts on each deal will be available only while supplies last.

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!

Check it out for yourselves!  Amazon Gold Box Deals for Nintendo Games.

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.

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.

We check Amazon pretty frequently for Wii stuff.  Here’s some deals for today:

Guitar Hero III Bundle:    $69.99 (down 20 bucks!)

Mario Galaxy for Wii:    $48.99

Wii Charge Station for Wiimotes:   $26.99

Nintendo High Resolution Component Cable:   $3.71

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.

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.

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!
