Though the savings only extend to three games, Nintendo’s holiday sale could be the start of something beautiful: over the entire course of the Wii lifecycle, I can’t recall the occurrence of a single digital sale EVER. To have one so soon after the release of the Wii U can only mean good things for the future.

It’s no Steam sale, but Nintendo is offering some neat savings on three eShop titles:

Chasing Aurora is a 2D areal action game about the dream of flight. The title is available for a limited time for just $7.49! Though I haven’t played it, the game looks quite beautiful, and I’m sure I’ll pick it up before the sale is over!

Trine was absolutely wonderful, and somehow in the nine months since Trine 2 released, I still haven’t played it! Trine 2 is a gorgeous platformer, with plenty of neat physics based puzzles to perplex you on your journey. Based on the first game alone, I’d recommend this to anyone, and it’s on sale for just $15.99.

 Little Inferno is one of the most interesting, oddly beautiful games I’ve had the pleasure of playing this year. All you really do is burn things in a virtual fire, but the game gives everything such a unique style and sense of purpose, that it’s very hard to put down. It’s a short but sweet adventure, and I implore you to give it a shot. It’s morbid, it’s disturbing, it’s beautiful, and right now, it’s just $9.99!

Seriously Wii U owners, check these games out!

Before you gorge yourself on too many beef products and cheap beer this 4th of July, turn on your PS3 and have a look at the 50 percent off sale Atlus has going for most of their catalog of games on PSN.

Notable ones on that list are the whole Persona series, Trine 2 and Catherine. This is as good as a time as any for PS Vita owners to get some really good RPG’s. I mean, it’s not like you have anything else to really play on your PS Vita, right?

In case you are already drunk, not to worry. Once you recover in the emergency room at the hospital from blowing your fingers off, the sale will still be around until July 31st. Plenty of time to learn how to use a Playstation controller with your remaining appendages on your hands.
