With the big day right around the corner, it may be too late to score online deals for physical games, but digital download codes are always available for gifting, with near instant delivery. And while these offers don't include any actual discounts, they are mighty convenient this time of year. They also consist of Nintendo developed or published titles, which - call me biased - makes the majority of them well worth their asking price.
Of the major online retailers, Gamestop offers the largest selection of Wii U and 3DS downloadable games. Along with retro classics like EarthBound (SNES/Wii U) for $9.99 and Super Metroid (SNES/Wii U) for $8.99, you'll find full retail releases such as Pikmin 3, and original digital games, including HarmoKnight. Best Buy offers a number of 3DS download codes as well, though their selection is limited to retail releases only. And don't forget - if you have some Club Nintendo coins to spare, you have even more digital code options to choose from.
If the Christmas deadline isn't a consideration, Best Buy's Nintendo eShop PrePaid Card sale is still ongoing, with $20.00, $35.00 and $50.00 eShop cards available for 20% off face value. This is one of the benefits of digital gaming - when the exchange rates are in your favor, it's fair to say everything in the eShop is on sale!
Look for many more Wii U, Wii, DS and 3DS game deals after the jump, including The Wonderful 101 for $29.99 shipped - 50% off the MSRP! Thanks for reading, and happy holidays!
