Here is what I finally ended up buying:
1. Pikmin 3
2. Kirby Return to Dreamland
3. Metroid Fusion
There were a number of other games that looked tempting. In fact, some of the other games on sale — not on the Nintendo cyber-deals list — are arguably better deals, with as much as 75% off. But I reasoned that while new eShop deals appear every week, Nintendo first party games and VC games rarely go on sale. The last comparable sale was during this summer's E3. That reasoning strongly influenced my choices.
