This was a good deal at just over the £200 mark pre Xmas (albeit with a couple of extra games). Been impressed with how much the 8yo likes this compared to his PS4.

Sorry kid, but I'm an adult and I don't like fishing. No more time for your nonsense.

You're right. Angry was the wrong way to describe you.

LOL. Thanks for providing further confirmation of your lack of debating skills. You don't even believe the nonsense your saying. Suggest you retract that "angry person" comment, unless you have something to quote to back it.

Nah, you seem like a really angry person so I'm gonna let you chill out.

If I can't see the link of the price of a Wii U to that of a X1 or PS4 then I am not going to appreciate any irony. Its a straight up comment, explain to us what a X1 or PS4 has to do with this thread if you really want to. Last time I checked you couldn't play most of the Wii U games on either of those consoles.

I hope you can appreciate the irony of your comment then...

It has been formally confirmed by Nintendo that it wont be based on android.so that one rumor is out.(thanks god).
romor is one thing,real comments by nintendo exeutives is another thing.
My quote was from nintendos new ceo himself.that it will be nothing like wii or wii u and that it will be a new nintendo console ,a successor to wii u.
sone people here even deny that!

You forgot Zeldas :smiley: not to mention many other gems like Xenoblade X, Bayonetta and etc..

The fact that GAME, Amazon and other retailers are selling this at £250, the same price as an X1 or PS4, is laughable! How is this console holding its price?! It's a great console but come on, it's clearly a commercial failure and nowhere near the hardware capabilities of the other two. So let's have a proper price cut please?!

To be honest, those two games alone will keep you going for a LONG time. Both fantastic.

It is most likely to happen this year.



There is a lot of news recently that suggests the console will be at least as poweful as PS4/Xbox one if not more powerful, and will stream additonal hardware code over the internet to boost perfomance. A patent has also been revealed for stackable power modules, suggesting the console could essentially be as poweful as you want to put more money in. The console/hybrid will supersede the wii u and 3DS. Nintendo have also stated it is new and different. This isn't to say the Wii U isn't worth buying, it has some of the best games. It is wise to wait a few months because nintendo will want to shift these consoles before the release of the NX.

Happy enough with my 3DS :smiley:

Annoyed EU haven't had a Fire Emblem Fates release date though

Fair enough. Just be aware that it may not materialise (release) before 2017.

I agree with you.
However, personally I am holding out for the NX. The Wii U was available for less 2 years ago so if I didn't bit the bullet then I might as well hold out a few more months.

Awesome deal

I'm just saying, don't let rumours and conjecture drive your purchasing decision. If you do, you'd believe it'll be based on an android system, will match the power of PS4/Xbox One and may even be a portable console that docks into a tv-based setup. In other words, no-one knows and it shouldn't stop people from enjoying a Wii U purchase.

At some point, you have to factor in the cost and value of the games. Sure it's old hardware, but it's also two amazing games which also took time/effort to produce.

Am the only one who thinks this needs to way cheaper I would think £150 considering the hardware inside.

Go on any game news website.
It's highly likely Nintendo will announce the NX within the first 6 months of 2016 and release before Xmas 2016.

Swap the 3 and the 9 around and nintendo will have a buyer

It's too vague to know for sure. 50/50

I'll let someone else pick apart that comment lol.

wii u is a great buy i got one for christmas because im a big kid lol i own Xbox one and ps4 and wii u is great family fun and it has still a lot more to give Nintendo are still making wii games so they are def not going to stop making wii u games so no need to worry about nx

Nintendo have stated on several occasions that the NX is NOT a replacement of the 3DS or the Wii U and are calling it a new platform.

I think anyone expecting a full console with performance of the XB/PS4 are in for a huge let down. I believe the NX is a Android based device like the Shield TV. Capable of both mobile/handheld gaming and console gaming (equivalent to Wii U now). So the rumours that the next Zelda game and other Wii U titles could be ported to NX are not unrealistic in that regards.

So, it's just a theory. It's not actually based on anything announced. I just seem to be seeing a few people stating it as fact to stop people looking at a Wii U purchase.

I'm trying to figure out why people keep saying the nx is out this year. Don't Nintendo usually announce their console a year before release?

£220 before the voucher now. No longer a good deal considering the release of the NX at some point this year. Hold onto your pennies and wait for these to be cleared out at around £150.

Don't think there's that much stock floating about. The supermarkets don't seem to stock it anymore, and there's not masses of Wii U stuff out on display in Game or HMV.

I'm not too worried anyway, between MK8, Smash Bros, Super Mario 3D World, Mario Maker, New super mario bros u + new super luigi u and the upcoming Star Fox title, I've got months' worth of games to get through if I ever find the time. Didn't pay more than £30 each for any of them, and a quick scout of eBay shows they've retained nearly all of their value, if not more.

If I want to play FIFA/COD and other annual franchises, I'll just play on the XBOX One.

Looks like i'm a waiting a little longer for the £99 Fire sale :/

Heated though

This is going to sound really stupid but where do you enter the code?

Showing as £215 now, was £210 earlier, obviously before the voucher is applied.

£210 now

Nintendo have said that they're officially continuing all support for Wii U even post the late 2015 NX release, so there's still plenty of reason to buy a Wii U in addition to the great back catalogue of games.

I want it... Hopefully still available next month

i bought my Wii U january last year wish i didnt bother its barely been used. should of waited for the NX

another bite...

Really tempted by this deal! Bit skeptical about ordering from Pixel Electronics as I've read they aren't the most reliable though?

Where do you enter the code?

Buyer beware : the Nintendo NX is most likely coming out this year, the Wii U will lose all support. So basically, don't expect many more games than what are already out or due out this year

tempted to get this.

Best 2 games around imo.

Personally I would prefer to spend a bit extra and get a UK model, however heat added as it is a good price for people who do not mind.

Great deal. Hopefully more people picking up a Wii U is a good thing for more game releases and sales.

I'm tempted to get this but I'm not sure

Is an amazing price!
Luckily I don't feel so bad after getting my second hand console and pro pad for 147 recently because I can't return it hah!

As for games I already have more for this than my xbox one..... But u haven't got the one above. Went in for Xenoblade smash bros and bayonetta.

These are probably my next purchases.

Anybody know how much space is left after both games are installed?

GOOD DEAL

nice, two great games bundled, thinking of biting at this price

Haha was just about to post, great price!

Quidco is currently 6% (£11.34)
