Open Your Wallet + Bargain Roundups: The Wonderful 101, Disney Infinity and Splinter Cell Blacklist

Advertisement

Here it is, the biggest week the Wii U has had since launch, there are three games out in the one week and they’re all big titles. So we’re going to do what we usually do, round them up, bargain hunt and put them all in one big article.

Remember when The Wonderful 101 was marked as a launch title? Then launch window? Why not 9 months after the system comes out instead! Anyway the game is here this weekend and if you’re not sure why you should buy this game, go try the demo now from the eShop. (Or go ask your Mum).

The Wonderful 101 – August 24th

The team at Platinum Games led by the ever happy Hideki Kamiya have put together a great looking game and it’s getting decent reviews in the US already. We’ll have our review as soon as possible, but for now read our E3 2013 impressions.

We’ve found the following bargains for The Wonderful 101 here in Australia:

eShop

  • The Wonderful 101 – $79.95 – If you bought Pikmin 3 on the eShop, the game will be only $55.96 (30% off)

EB Games

  • The Wonderful 101 – $78 –  Link

JB Hi-Fi

  • The Wonderful 101 – $79 – Link

Dungeon Crawl

  • The Wonderful 101 – $69.90 – Link

Sadly that’s all we can find for The Wonderful 101 far, though if you search for the game on Target’s website there’s some interesting underwear for the ladies.

Disney Infinity – August 22nd

Disney Infinity threatens to break and just full out assault wallets all over the world, but before you spend that cash you have to buy the game first. Why not try and at least find that first. We’ve got a list of deals for the game below, but before you splash out on all the figures keep an eye out in department and toy stores for deals.

We’ve previously played Disney Infinity at E3, and we have an interview with the game’s producer if you want to know more.

Toys R Us

It’s likely that the department stores will update their prices later in the week in the battle for your money.

Splinter Cell Blacklist – August 22nd

Sam Fisher is back like you’ve never heard him before, yes Michael Ironside might have gotten the boot for this, but Blacklist looks like it might be a great return to the stealth action everyone’s been hoping for. There is actually a special edition available for this Wii U version of Blacklist as well, but you had to pre-order ages ago to get it.

    Ozgameshop has Wonderful 101 for $54.99. Just takes a week for deliveries though.

    As cool as this week is, I’m psyched for next week’s “Rayman Legends”!

    Big W has the Disney Infinity starter pack for $68. No luck finding a Wii U version though as they had none in the Canberra Centre store at least!

    The general confusion around Wii and Wii U was in full effect yesterday when I went to collect my pre-order from Target:they’d given me a Wii version and not the Wii U version. Old matey behind the desk was a little confused, “Wii U….is that different to the Wii?”

    Ah the joys of having the new console with the same name as the old console save for an extra U. Maybe ‘Wii 2’ could have helped!!?

    Big W has blacklist for $60 which is cheaper than any other non-online store, Big W also has the Infinity starter pack for $68 but I think Target has the better deal including the starter pack, one character and some flimsy container for the $79 since the figures usually sell for around $15. Also Big W has Wonderful 101 for $69
