Dubbed the "Humble Nindie Bundle"

Pay at least $1 to get:
Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition (Wii U)
Woah Dave! (3DS)
Mighty Switch Force! (3DS)

Beat the average for:
The Fall (Wii U)
OlliOlli (Wii U, 3DS)
Moon Chronicles (3DS)
(more titles to be added)

Pay $10 or more to get everything above along with:
Stealth Inc 2 (Wii U)
SteamWorld Dig (Wii U, 3DS)

This is pretty impressive, I don't believe any other console makers have done a Humble Bundle. Usually these things are either for Steam, Origin, or Android/iOS.

Hopefully this will be a trend that Microsoft and Sony follow! I'll probably just do the $1+ tier to get Guacamelee. Sony offered it to PS+ subscribers this month but only on PS4 so I was bummed about that. Now I don't have to be bummed!!
 
That's actually awesome as heck. Just a shame Nintendo UK doesn't seem to have the same offer listed...
 
So, basically, all the crap given to me on PS4 for free with a couple extras added in. Hated OllieOllie 2 btw. HORRIBLE controls in my opinion. Woah Dave! SHOULD very well be free as it was / is on PS4 because it is so simplistic and low-grade I feel a Collecovision could run it. Guacamelee was a great game. It controlled much easier on my Vita than on my PS4 or PS3, but the additions for the PS4 version were great and added a lot more gameplay to the game. If the Wii u got those same adds then that is an AMAZING deal for a buck. It is a great deal for $1 either way. Steamworld Dig was short but sweet. Beat it in about 5-7 hours in a single run live streaming it. Iirc it was 5 1/2 hours but that is without maxing my character.

Also, Sony had a Humble Bundle last Christmas but it was all crap I didn't care about because I only had the PS3 at the time and it was mostly Vita and PS4, if I recall.

@ Benoit: Btw, if you are a PS Plus user be sure to go to the sony website for playstation.com and grab the PS4 games from there. You can have em set as download-ready so when you get your PS4 you will have them in the library already. This also works for Xbox One and every console where Gold or Plus is pertinent.
 
Idk what humble bundle is, but if you get all those games for a dollar, that's awesome. Though the only game that looks interesting if Mighty Switch Force. I've heard good things.

Guacamelee is an homage to metroid with a lot of game parodies and shout-outs hidden in it. Melee-based combat rather than gun-based Metroidvania with a good mix of humor, secrets, and a decent length of campaign.

Wow, did not know that. Thank you!! I added them to my cart and checked out (got the "thank you for your purchase" e-mail from Sony), do I need to do anything else?

Btw, I don't think Sony has done a Humble Bundle, but I sure hope Nintendo starts a trend. I'd love for it to be more than just indie games though. Almost all of these have been either available in a previous bundle for PC or given away for "free" to PS+ subscribers.

Nope, that's all you need to do. Now when you get your PS4 it will auto-download them. Enjoy :3
 
Sweet, wish I had known about that from the get-go, but luckily they've just been getting a lot of indie, cross-buy titles so I don't think I've missed out on too much. Still would have been nice to get the occasional exclusive title!

I think this guacamelee version was the only exclusive title since Transistor that was given 2 months ago. Oh, the full HD remake of Abe's Odyssey was another one. Everything else was on PS3 or Vita for exclusives. the only games I liked that they have given us other than Guacamelee were The Unfinished Swan and Rogue Legacy. Well, since I became a PS+ member, that is.
 
I was really excited for this when I first saw it, then I saw the games that were actually in the bundle and my excitement faded away. Don't get me wrong, the games from the bundle that I've played are good, but I've had all of those for months at least free from Playstation, and the others I just wasn't that interested in...

Guacamelee is a really fun game, but it's been out quite a while now, and I'm kind of getting tired of it being lauded as an amazing deal in every game sale on every system now... I'm thinking most people with even a remote interest in it have likely picked it up by now...
 
I have a remote interest and it has taken me this long to get it >_> I'm probably in the super minority on that though.
 
Oh I definitely got it, finally :D
Haven't touched it though, trying to focus on a few games at a time. I'll save it for when my wife is watching TV and I need a break from Xenoblade!
 
The game is almost 50% longer and has a few additional features like an ability that lets you increase your damage temporarily on PS4, btw.
