I haven't seen any other than the eBay one which I was too late for. At the moment the best I can find is at JB for $89, which with the 20% off voucher goes down to $71.20. EB Games has it for $89.95, I haven't seen a thing from Target or Big W and it seems I might have to wait until release day but I'm afraid they'll have it near RRP as well. $71.20 from JB isn't actually that bad but considering Big W and Target will probably have the base game for $58 I'd kinda hoped they would have a deal for a bit less than $70.
Any Good Smash Bros. and Gamecube Adaptor bundle Deals?

I still see it on there website, it still has the option to add to cart and preorder, or am I seeing something? I'll have to try my luck on release date I guess at JB Hi-Fi. If I can't find it then maybe I'll get it from ozgameshop
Oh, I thought it was sold out, my mistake. But still, good luck getting a better price (not really sure there'll be any retailer who will do a bargain on it).
Would it be too cheeky to preorder it in store then in one hit cancel preorder and buy a copy, that way you reserve a copy with your preorder and get discount. Im glad i got my copy on the ebay 20% off sale and am not in this situation
That would be worth a try. I could walk out and come back a minute later and say I changed my mind. If it doesn't work, then I'll get it from Big W and I'll get the adaptor from Nintendo, ends up at $88 so it's all good.
I think only JB and EB stock the game + adapter bundle.
Went to EB after work today and can confirm that they are no longer taking pre-orders on the bundle anymore, sold out within first week of pre-ordering.
They still have a few units left on their online store however:
https://ebgames.com.au/wiiu-202885-Super-Smash-Bros-Wii-U--G…Big W has it for $58 during their weekly sale starting from 27th Nov. I guess you can buy them separately. Though the EB guy roughly estimated the adapter itself is around $40.
You can't buy the adapter alone from EB, but Nintendo is selling it directly for $30.
I asked at two JB Hi-Fis and they're still taking preorders, I guess it's just not available to buy online. I'm going to buy the adaptor separately anyway because I won't be able to preorder during the week, except maybe Thursday and it'll be probably be too late, and I doubt I'll be able to find one on Saturday. Ozgameshop is out of stock as well.
The price of the adaptor has skyrocketed in the us and online due to shortages so preordering it may be a good choice unless you dont mind waiting
Nintendo Australia is selling it directly though and isn't likely to gouge us like that, even if we pay $30 AUD for it compared to $20 USD.
Looks Target finally gave us a deal, can you pre order from Target? Cause I could do so today.
Target doesn't have Smash available for preorder. Do I have to wait until the catalogue comes out perhaps? How does it work at Target? Otherwise I'm calling Nintendo tomorrow.
If you preorder at JB you could always only pay a deposit, then when you go to pick it up after release get them to apply the 20% off coupon then.
I've had preorders price-matched when picking up (before paying the balance owing), so presumably they could do the coupon in the same way?
Edit: You'd have to have a valid coupon, and those 20% ones only last for a week. Maybe re-sign up again just before you collect the game so you have a valid one.
The coupons are all generic and I can't preorder until Thursday and even then I might not be able to, and I'm afraid I'll be too late by then.
Edit: nevermind.
The 20% voucher doesn't work on preorders…so you're kind of gambling on the chance that it'll still be around by release (EB Games has delisted it already).
