As one of those irritating "Black Friday" deals that gets desperate people outside at 4am, Best Buy will be offering four Wii games at a discounted price of $19.99 on Friday and Saturday. The selection includes enough of interest to make it worth leaving your family on Thanksgiving night to go camp out in front of an electronics store! If anything is.
We won't speak for Rapala Tournament Fishing! or Brunswick Pro Bowling, although if you're going to buy those, you might as well do it at a reduced price. More likely to be cared about is Sonic and the Secret Rings, which might well be $20 worth of game. The best deal is Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition, which, at $20, is about what you'd pay for a new copy of RE4 on the GameCube. If you don't see these on the shelves, just wait until a blueshirt comes by with the "last one" of the game you're looking for.

And I thought I got a deal when I bought Re4 for 30 at Wal-Mart three weeks ago. Oh well, it was worth 30 and it definitely is worth $40.
Anyone know anything about the Sonic game?

I know that I've never played a good Sonic game.

@Tom, RE4:WE always retailed for $29.99...
And none of these look like great deals; $10 off RE4 is nice but I never enjoyed Sonic and the other two are throwaways.

Sonic has a party mode with mini-games that is pretty good, though you cannot practice the games before the challenge, so the first few times you play it is annoying.
I got the game for free in a promotion so I don't feel too bad about this, but I would otherwise. Sonic has that very annoying habit that many new games have of a stupid tutorial before you can play the real game. I got so fed-up with that that I simply only play the party games with my wife and cousins. It is a decent party game, worth $20.
I should probably pay one of my cousins $20 to get through the tutorial so that I can play the actual game considering I got the game itself for free. There is a manual I can read to learn how to do everything after all.

@vidguy, isn't my ignorance to prices amazing? I've owned a Wii for a month and just buy whatever games I think will be good. Sonic might be a good buy just because $20 for a decent game is reasonable in my mind. I won't wait in line for it though.

I bought Sonic and the Secret Rings for $40, and thought it was a decent game for the price. The controls for going backwards are a little wonky, but you don't need to do it that often, and the core game is a good one (Didn't care for the minigames, though). $20 would be a recommended buy in my book.
