Another Sunday, another round of sales, specials and promotions. These deals should run the entire week unless otherwise noted - let's get to it!

Best Buy is offering some nice discounts on a few, select Wii U games this week. You'll find Batman: Arkham City: Armored Edition available for $29.99, Call of Duty: Black Ops II for $39.99, and NBA 2K13 for $39.99. Free shipping is included with each offer. Not bad, although NBA 2K13 is a bit cheaper on Amazon at the moment.

Seems someone is always running a Just Dance sale, and this week is no exception. Kmart is offering $10-15 off select dance games, including Just Dance 2, 3 and 4 for Wii. They're also offering - in-store only - Buy 1, Get 1 40% Off Skylanders single character packs throughout the week, although Toys R Us has 'em beat with their own Buy 1, Get 1 50% Off sale on Skylanders Giants figures and accessories. Skylanders, man - it's a cut throat business.

If you're shopping for hardware, Target has the the Wii Sports/Wii Sports Resort console bundle for $20 off with free S&H. NewEgg is offering 15% off a Midnight Purple 3DS or Wii Sports/Wii Sports Resort console bundle - shipped - but this promotion ends March 11th, at 11:59 PM PDT - don't wait long! Best Buy is including a free Rocketfish InvisiShell with the purchase of a Basic or Deluxe Wii U system. A $10 value and free S&H, sure, but with Target rumored to be offering a $50 gift card with these Wii U sets next week, patience may be a virtue in this case. Besides, if you like Cricket bats and were planning to pick up a Wii U Pro Controller anyhow, the Wii U ZombiU Deluxe set is probably the best Wii U hardware deal available at the moment, even if the NintendoLand pack-in has been regulated to DLC.

Are you a fan of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings? Amazon is offering a nice LotR offer this week - purchase a select Lego Lord of the Rings video game and pre-order The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey on blu-ray, save yourself $15.00. These blu-ray sets are already significantly discounted by Amazon, so you can potentially score the movie for around ten bucks! This offer expires on March 18th, with the blu-ray scheduled for release the day after. Too bad I already own the game!

One of the bigger, unannounced "deals" this week is the re-availability of Fire Emblem: Awakening. Most major retailers - both online and off - initially sold out of this game within days. But the game is now back in stock at most venues - Walmart is offering Fire Emblem: Awakening with free site-to-store shipping, while Best Buy and NewEgg will ship free to your home. Second chances don't come along often, and considering Fire Emblem games typically hold their value, I wouldn't wait long if you're serious about owning a physical copy of the game.

And that's a wrap! As always, you can find many more Nintendo related game deals after the jump. 'Till next time, this is Grubber Gamer signing off - thanks for reading!
