yes I was waiting for it to drop to around £180 but gave up. Took the plunge at £220..so glad I did. MK8 is great and also purchased Yoshi`s Wolly World to play co-op with the kids. They love it. Great games don`t have to be based on guns and blood to be engaging. All the games are so well thought out and there is a challenge in them for every age.
Do it , do it.

Just to point out, Mario Kart is pre-installed and Splatoon is a download code.

These are holding their price annoyingly well... knew I should have picked one up for EUR270 when I was in France before Christmas...

Guess people need to get used to digital games on Wii U now.

Is a good UK Price as OP says. Just to be pre-emptive before the XBOX/PS fanboys inevitably get going in the deal thread, YES we know the Wii U is over priced, dead, not worth more than £75, it only has 23 games, only 2 more games will be released, its old technology, and it has 2½ weeks of shelf life left. Thanks anyway, but we have got it, we know your thoughts.
Played most of Wii U's library and now my Wii U is only used to play Mario Kart 8 Online, eh, it's not bad but wish Nintendo would release a last batch of DLC for the game. Plus, if it wasn't for the Wii U Pro Controller I wouldn't play it since the GamePad feels unnatural, too big and clumsy.
Sure some may say the WUPC is basically the GamePad and it is but being a traditional controller makes all the difference.

You're omitting the fact that the current slew of consoles are about £30 more expensive and are supported by more third party developers.
AC Syndicate? Arkham Knight? Destiny TTK? Black Ops IIII? FIFA?
It's not a good price.
MK8 becomes repetitive by the 7000 points mark.
Splatoon & Xenoblade are now the ONLY redeeming games to the console from an outside perspective.
For those considering a wii u purchase, if you can get a 2nd hand 1 for a ton and a few games, it's worth that.
It's not worth paying £200 brand new with 2 games, not even close.

Wii U has the best exclusives, MK8 and Splatoon are two of the best too :smiley: Hot!

And for Splatoon-related madness, there's the HUKD Splatoon Shoot-out thread - http://www.hotukdeals.com/misc/hukd-splatoon-shoot-out-2275545?p=26960526
Regular matchups and fun to be had :laughing:
