Great price for this. Heated!

Very good option for someone who wants to play BOTW and other big Nintendo games like MK8 etc without the £300+ needed for the Switch....

Hi! The Wii U consists of two parts and one part doesn't work without the other: there's the main console where you put the games disks (on the right in the picture at the top of this page) and the gamepad which has a screen and a built in controller (on the left). If you want to play single player game, you're guaranteed of getting a controller becuase it's built into the gamepad. If you want to play multiplayer games you might want to look at an additional controller. The wii-mote and nunchuck from the original Wii are completely compatible with the Wii U and can be bought quite cheaply second-hand. All the original Wii games will also play on the Wii u - lots of cheap games!

The premium version of the wii u is black and comes with 32GB of memory built-in and a charging cradle for the gamepad. The basic version is white and only has 8GB of memory. Those are basically the only two versions of the Wii u available. The extra memory doesn't affect the performance of the games. Wii U games run straight from the disk, they don't need to be installed on the consoles memory like on an XBOX or Playstation. You only need the extra memory if you're looking to download games from the Nintendo Digital Shop (they have some quite tempting sales).

This deal is for the black Premium console, which is the one I had. I think it looks nicer that the white, and I found the extra memory useful (although I did eventually put a USB drive in the back anyway).

No grading info is a put off.

Hot! I love my WiiU way more than my Switch.

Get Scribble on WiiU! Brilliant game for groups or parties.

I bought the Wii u from game, I have a ps4 pro and Xbox one and litrelly I haven't been of the Wii u. I've spent more on games than the cost of the switch console and don't regret it.
I'm just getting all the gems before they go up in price.
Plus I've bought many amiibos I'm addicted haha. :smile:

Hot deal for a Hot console (though ordering through Game gives you £2.00 reward points), but when I ordered some Wii U games from grainger I found the website very slow and then they didn't have one of the games I ordered after all, but they did contact me and refund me. Though the games took a while to be delivered. I guess they are a much smaller outfit than Game or the other big names, but they deffo need to invest in better online infrastructure.

My little relatives love the Wii U, it's so refreshing to play Yoshi Wooly world, Mario Kart 8 and Nintendo land in 2 player splitscreen and have fun like we all used to before online became the main focus. COD, Assasins Creed and Splinter Cell are on it aswell, and being able to play on the gamepad screen with headphones is practical and immersive. Really what let it down was very poor marketing, a silly name (just calling it Wii 2 would of increased sales) and maybe a slightly underpowered CPU that made porting games more of a chore for lazy devs. Ram and GPU are far superior to PS3 and X360. The online eshop store is also abit meh and the prices are pretty extortionate when all the games are cheaper in physical form and the indies are cheaper on other platforms.

still waiting for them to deliver dark souls 3 I ordered over a week ago...

I bought a preowned wii u and recommend it. I couldn't justify the full RRP they charged, but there's still many decent titles I never played. Until the switch gets more titles, then I'd say a preowned Wii U is a better buy.
