Time to catch up on the latest pre-order discounts and bonuses - let's get started!

If you've been holding out for Lego The Hobbit on Wii U, a number of pre-order offers are still in place for the game's release April 22nd. Gamestop's bonus is perhaps the most notable, as your pre-order entitles you to an exclusive Good Morning Bilbo Baggins Lego mini-figure. These figures are apparently only available with a pre-order of the game, so it's definitely worth considering if you're a Lego collector, want a fine gift for a Lego fan, or are just looking for something to flip on Ebay to help offset the game's cost.

Amazon is offering a $10 store credit with Lego The Hobbit purchases & pre-orders, while Best Buy will knock ten bucks off your purchase when you buy both Lego The Hobbit and the recently released The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug movie on Blu-Ray.

If you've been considering Mario Golf: World Tour for 3DS, both Amazon and Walmart are offering the title for $29.99 with pre-order. This is a savings of five or ten dollars, depending. (There's some contradiction as to the final MSRP - Amazon and Best Buy seem to think it's $39.99, but Gamestop is holding at $34.99.)

Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars releases for 3DS on April 15th, with the first printing set as a Special Edition with bonus CD soundtrack and box packaging. This edition isn't exclusive to any one retailer, but given the niche nature of the title and Best Buy having currently sold out of their initial allotment, you may want to pre-order the game sooner than later if you've been meaning to lock in a copy. It's still available via Amazon, Gamestop and Walmart.

Before I finish up, I'd like to mention a new feature I've added to the regular mega-deal list you'll find post-jump. Along with the usual game discounts for 3DS, Wii, Wii U and DS, you'll also find new pre-order comparison tables for 3DS and Wii U! I hope this'll come in handy when comparing pre-order offers amongst some of the more popular retailers - not only prices but bonuses as well. Hit the jump to check it out, and as always, thanks for reading!
