Starting on Aug. 26, Nintendo rolls out a stellar set of offers for both Wii U and 3DS, including some of Nintendo’s biggest hits dropping to a suggested retail price of $19.99 each.
Everyone deserves to have a little fun before back-to-school season begins – and this applies to both kids and their parents, like Animal Crossing: New Leaf and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, as well as the debut of a new Mario-themed New Nintendo 3DS system that comes with the Super Mario 3D Land game pre-installed at the low suggested retail price of only $149.99.
And starting on Sept. 9, five convenient bundles each packed with a select Wii U game and an amiibo figure will be available. All of these great deals make getting ready for school a much more entertaining (and affordable) process.
“These back-to-school deals are some of the best and most varied we have ever offered,” said Doug Bowser, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “Now is clearly the best time to get started on your essential Nintendo game collection.”
On Aug. 26, some of Nintendo’s most popular and premium Wii U and Nintendo 3DS games are joining the Nintendo Selects honor roll of games sold at a suggested retail price of only $19.99. The list of games being added to the Nintendo Selects collection is as follows:
Game | System | |||
Animal Crossing: New Leaf | Nintendo 3DS | |||
Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon | Nintendo 3DS | |||
Tomodachi Life | Nintendo 3DS | |||
nintendogs + cats: Golden Retriever & New Friends | Nintendo 3DS | |||
LEGO® City Undercover: The Chase Begins | Nintendo 3DS | |||
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD | Wii U | |||

Also on Aug. 26, a New Nintendo 3DS bundle that includes the system, the wildly fun Super Mario 3D Land game pre-installed and two extra interchangeable Mario-themed cover plates (one inspired by Mario and one featuring 8-bit renditions of classic Nintendo characters) will go on sale exclusively at Walmart and Target stores at a low suggested retail price of $149.99. New Nintendo 3DS is more compact than New Nintendo 3DS XL and also sports removable cover plates that let you customize the system’s look. New Nintendo 3DS is one of the most versatile video game systems out there, and this price (with an included game!) really can’t be beat. The suggested retail price is $50 less than the suggested retail price of any New Nintendo 3DS bundle previously offered.
Starting on Sept. 9, select Wii U games will be packaged with specific amiibo at a suggested retail price of only $39.99 each. These bundles are a great way for players to be introduced to the world of Nintendo’s amiibo figures (and to have something to talk about with friends on the school bus). When tapped to the Wii U GamePad controller, each of the amiibo figures included in the bundles will unlock something special in its respective game. The bundles include:
Wii U Game | amiibo Character | Functionality | ||||||
Yoshi’s Woolly World | Pink Yarn Yoshi | Activates “Double Yoshi” in single-player mode, allows players to save favorite collected patterns to the amiibo figure | ||||||
Yoshi’s Woolly World | Light Blue Yarn Yoshi | Activates “Double Yoshi” in single-player mode, allows players to save favorite collected patterns to the amiibo figure | ||||||

Available now, the affordable and kid-friendly portable 2DS system is ideal for parents looking to purchase a Nintendo system for their youngest gamers (and star students!) The system can play nearly every Nintendo 3DS game in 2D, is available at a suggested retail price of only $79.99 and specifically marked packages of the system include the hit Mario Kart 7 racing game, pre-installed. Combining this great package with one of the newly available Nintendo Selects games for Nintendo 3DS gives you a new Nintendo system and two awesome games – all for the great value of less than $100.
