Its only for Super smash bros so probably not. Just a hint, unpack the Wii u and do all the updates before you wrap it that way he can get straight into the games on Christmas morning. There's some great games out there for it, enjoy!

Amazon Italy will have the Mini NES back in stock in November 30 for the original RRP but they're not shipping to UK which is why it can't be posted here.

As Amazon Italy will have it by then, then I guess UK retailers will have new stock in too. Just gotta be patient for those wanting the Mini NES.

I've purchased the Wii U for my son for Christmas. Would one of these be useful ? Completely new to the Wii U although we do have a Wii . Cheers

Thanks. Got a Mario and luigi as my almost 4 year old is obsessed.

Yes very good advice as hyped kids waiting hours for updates is not fun!

Thank you just need to find the game now!!

Does this work as a classic controller on the Wii?

Seeing as these are only for Smash Bros, unless he will be spending a lot of time on Smash, maybe a Wii U Pro Controller would be a better choice as it will work with the majority of games.

Also, while you are doing the updates, go to the Demo/Free to Play section on the eShop and install a few things if you have the space to spare. Redeem any download game codes too because the eShop servers are generally stressed over the Christmas and downloading can be slow and frustrating for some.

These are Wii Classic Controllers in GameCube shells so they work with other games too. "Super Smash Bros. Fighting Pad" is the title they used for the pads.
