UPDATE: Nintendo slashes digital price of key Wii U and 3DS games

An error or a wonderfully generous sale? Either way, a host of top Nintendo IP can be had for pennies on the Nintendo Store right now.

Digital versions of Wii U titles The Wonderful 101 and Pikmin 3 are currently available for 8.95 each while Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Mario & Luigi: Dream Team are currently priced at 7.95 each.

There are a few other discounts too, such as 3DS title LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins for 6.95.

All the deals can be found through this link.

If the sale is deliberate it’s surprising to see Nintendo so savagely undercutting the High Street prices of key titles – not that it’s that easy to find Wii U or even 3DS games on the High Street anymore, of course…

UPDATE: Although we’ve not heard anything officially from Nintendo, many of the prices have now been raised to their previous levels, suggesting it was indeed an error. However, some of those who did manage to place an order at the discounted price are saying they HAVE received their download codes.
