A new Wii U hardware bundle containing two of Nintendo's global million-selling multiplayer games arrive as a limited offer premium pack. Containing a black Wii U Premium Pack console, the anti-gravity racing action of Mario Kart 8 and the colourful shooter Splatoon. It's the ideal bundle for anyone seeking instant fun.
•In Mario Kart 8, players speed up, down and all-round antigravity courses. With 32 new and remixed classic tracks to speed around, new items to unleash during the heat of the race, and a host of ways to enjoy the action including racing against other players, whether they're in the same room or on the other side of the world using 12-player online competitive play (internet connection required).
•A completely fresh take on the action shooter genre, Splatoon's online matches (internet connection required) pits two teams of four players against one another competing to claim turf by covering it in their team's colourful ink. After splatting opponents and covering a level with colourful ink, players can transform into squids and swim quickly through their own ink or use it to take cover and hide from enemies.

No matter how good the hardware and great the library of games, you will never convince the herd the Wii U is a sound investment. I however can think for myself and therefore could not recommend the Wii U enough. HOT.

Personally myself i have learnt from experience to wait till a console has been out a while before purchasing it as there is then a decent back catalog of games. I made the mistake of buying the PS4 and XBOX ONE on release and there were very few playable games. Even if The NX is released this year (no one knows yet) i won't be buying it till there is a decent catalog of games. I think spending £200 on an older console with a decent back catalog of games is better than paying £350 on a console at release with hardly any games available. Each to their own though

For me there are far more games in the WII U library that i would play compared to that of the XBOX and PS4, i'm not into dark gloomy frustrating games or sporting ones. I prefer happy colorful fun games so for me the WII U is perfect. Think i had about 6 games on the XBOX and 3 on the PS4 that i played yet i have had my WII U since Christmas and have 14 games i play all ready. Alot of games are just remakes these days any way, i mean how many CODS and FIFAS does one need lol?

Fun fact; unbelievably, this list doesn't include Wonderful 101, Kirby, Yoshi, ZombiU, Fatal Frame V, Hyrule Warriors, Wii Party U, Nintendo land and many others.
How is the Wii U a dead console to someone new to it? Because they can't buy previously released games? Well, that's not true. Add to that the upcoming games: Twilight Princess HD, Pokken Tournament, Star Fox Zero, Zelda Wii U.
If the games don't appeal that's fine... ... but 'dead' lol... join an amateur dramatics club, son. Also, get some original thoughts, there's always one comes in a Wii U thread and posts 'dead console'... you wouldn't want to just be another statistic now would you ?

You're getting the two best games on the system and a library of games which should (in theory) go down in price over the next year. Someone will probably comment on the NX releasing this year but if you are a fan of nintendo I don't think you can go wrong with this console.

Sizzling time! and plenty of stock, for once. Now if amazon price matches I think plenty will bite. Thanks op. Argos will have to lower other Wii U bundles or they won't shift. Glad I'm off work just need to tell my 6 and 3/4 old we can go get it later... :stuck_out_tongue:
