Metroid: Other M $7.99 at Best Buy

Metroid: Other M $7.99 at Best Buy
Pin It

Metroid fans, young and old have many opinions on Metroid: Other M. Some some like it, some have been on the fence, yet others have practically boycotted the game entirely! Many have decided not to even attempt it.

US Retailer Best Buy has given us all the opportunity to purchase the game at an extreme discount and give it another shot. The Best Buy web site lists the normal retail at $49.99, but shows the discounted price at only $7.99! I had to laugh though, because the used copies begin at $9.99.  Other games at the same price point include: Are you smarter than a 5th Grader, Shawn White Snowboarding: World Stage, Trauma Center: Second Opinion, and Martian Panic.  Although Metroid: Other M reviews were not that great, I am not sure that it belongs amongst these other titles.

While looking through the discounted titles, I found that The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is discounted to $8.99 and Hello Kitty Seasons is $11.99!  Now going on price alone, do you think that Hello Kitty is worth more than a Metroid and a Zelda title regardless of reviews?  I am not so sure.  Either way, I would urge you to act fast if you want to snag your copy.  I am sure they will go fast!

Are there any games that you didn’t buy because of bad reviews, but would pick up at a discounted price as low as $7.99?

Shaun the Sheep and Infendo Giveaway!

Shaun the Sheep and Infendo Giveaway!

Recently Nintendo entered into a partnership with Aardman Animations, the creative genius behind Wallace and Gromit.  As a result, the Nintendo 3DS will feature a brand new Shaun the Sheep 3D adventure, available for free, via SpotPass.  The free episodes began on March 7th, 2012 and are expected to continue across 15 free episodes in the UK.

For some, this might be old news or even not applicable if they live in North America.  However, I think that this is very exciting news.  The 3DS is a small gaming system with a lot of potential, maybe more than we even realize.  The 3DS is packed full of features that can be applied to many different media types.  I was speaking to someone the other day, and they mentioned that the only thing missing is an internal cellular phone option (or even skype **hint hint**). With all the available options, why not take it to the next level?  Sure the PSP gave us the option to buy movies made specifically for the device, unfortunately it was not as popular as expected.  Why buy a movie for your PSP, Blue Ray, DVD, VCR, and Beta Max when you can buy a DVD/Blue Ray combo pack instead.  Nintendo is doing this the right way by providing original content that people will be willing and eager to watch.  Of course, not all content will be right for everyone, and there will be some trial and error.

Partnerships like the one with Aardman Animation is a huge step in the right direction.  It gives Nintendo an opportunity to showcase original programming, with existing studios that have a cult following.  I can’t wait to see what direction this takes!
