fair condition? not sure when it comes to GAME. I bought the zombie premium pack on eBay which comes with zombie u game and pro controller + 2 extra games all in mint condition for £100 2 weeks ago. So I think their are better deals out there.

I got this from Game. The actual console has lots of marks and scratches on but the controller is perfect which is the most important thing.

If one can find a package in good condition, this is an excellent deal...

Does it come in the correct box?

I got one of these last week, came in a generic white box in bubble wrap, gamepad and console had no scratches. It must of been the Mariokart 8 version because the game was pre-installed on it which was a bonus. Heat added

Exactly the same as my experience, great condition of my console, gamepad and pre-installed MK8. A friend got hers a week ago and had quite a few scratches and no pre-installed game. Totally a lucky dip. Some comments on similar posts state being able to check the console in store before purchasing but of course you're not going to be able to tell if any games are already on the console in store.

Hey, did it come using a courier or royal mail? Work during the day and etc etc etc.
Actually even if it came using royal mail it would need to be signed for, but theyre good as a neighbour can sign for royal mail but couriers dont tend to leave them with neighbours. Hmmmm....

Scratches on the black console in particular are very common due to the glossy finish. I looked at buying a Wii U but ultimately spent the extra and got a Switch, but I do miss not having the back catalogue of the Wii U.

It is a good console but the Switch will have blown it away by 2019 by having all the Wii U deluxe ports as well as Odyssey, Prime 4, Pokémon, Arms, Splatoon 2 etc.
The Wii U is solid but the Switch is the better long term investment even with paid online.

Got mine a few weeks ago when this was posted then same price, generic white box with bubble wrap.
A few scratches on console game pad works great, no games installed, added a portable hard drive to it and installed lots of games on that for grandson he loves it :smiley:

You mod it? How did you do? Any link for easy mod?
Wow, still £129.99 in-store, this has bounced between £90 and £100 for the last month.

Still wanting to get one for me and my kids (girls and not bothered about the latest games or consoles). It's just a case of when, may wait see what price they are end of year. Would pay more for New but used price should go down a bit.

I can confirm it will arrive looking like it has been sand papered in a grey box and most likely accessories missing, last one i had didnt have the HDMI cable or the dock holder "/

aren't they pretty similar specs? just the switch you can carry out with you...
jammiejam2k69 to maltikism

because they are still great consoles, still got loads of exclusive Nintendo games, and under £90, not to mention you can link a 1tb hdd upto it and install any game you want for free (if thats what you are into)

Whats the switchs best game again?
One made for the Wii U?
toner84 to maltikism
2 Jul 17#35
Because its a 3rd of the price?... You can jailbreak it... Already has a fairly big catalogue of games... Has Zelda botw on it... And £90 is a bargain for this! As you can tell by the heat!

Got one of these about 2 months ago was in decent condition. Added a hard drive and loads of games and I'm bored of it already. Not my type of thing but still good value for a console with a good back catalogue of games to get through.

Will the original wii motion controllers work with the WiiU? or do you just use that big tablet gamepad thing?
italkapple to umirza85
2 Jul 17#24
Yes they work. The Wii accessories are 100% backwards compatible. You use the tablet for most games. But on some occasions you can use the will motion controller or the pro controller

It's courier. I ordered 2 (Game wouldn't refund difference when I bought it for 100, so returned to store and reordered at 90. Both were in excellent condition)

It was DPD delivery, I got mine delivered to store so I could look at the console before I accepted it.

Just get one, don't think these will go lower than this, try looking on gumtree or facebook Groups, I got an 8GB white Wii U, with 10 games, inc Disney Infinity 2.0, 3.0, 43 figures, Lego Dimensions and 18 discs, and some top games like Splatoon, Super Mario Maker, New Super Mario Bros for £150
There are some great multiplayer games, Mario Kart 8, Mario and Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, Super Mario 3D World, Super Smash Bros
Wii Motes totally work with this, we use them with Wii wheels, really get this and discover gaming again, I love PS4 and XBOX One (hell have played Witcher 3 for 416 hours) but Wii U definitely puts the fun back into gaming, and when I have finished it's a great Netflix player, get one, once you start you won't be disappointed if you Love Nintendo

Ordered one several weeks ago, myhermes lost it, eventually Game sent a replacement via DPD when I complained. Console was pretty tidy, gamepad was a bit rough, mario kart was preinstalled, so satisfied overall (eventually!).

I picked a N64 with games and 4 controllers and rumble pack for £5 on Saturday lol but I'm hoping my Xmas times this will go down to around £50 mark

Are these the only versions you can mod, or could I do it to an original Wii? I really want to pick one up that has the GameCube controller slot on the console already

Bought a few weeks ago. Very impressed. No marks on console or the gamepad screen. Modded using haxchi. vWii mode easily softmodded then too.

After sofmod could the games be loaded off external usb or only off an sd card?

Picked mine up from Game today, not impressed with how everything was just loose in the box and the controller and console were filthy.
I've given it all a wipe over and it looks fine. The console has a few marks on it and the controller has a small mark on the screen but I can live with that.

This feels like cheap plastic, has an awful touch screen, won't support Mario when it comes out and runs BotW at a lower FPS than the Switch. I expected better from you, Ryuzaki.

Is it worth getting the Wii U package game are doing for £119.99, includes two games. Undecided on the conditions people are mentioning.
fossman to pauldredge
5 Jul 17#56
The condition wasn't brilliant when I got it out the box but I used a cleaning wipe and it looks a lot better now.
I have tested the console and controller and they both work fine.
What is the Wii U package game are selling? The website is currently down for maintenance.

As said, it comes with Mario cart and Mario 3d. Is it worth the risk or should I keep an eye out for a second hand one on selling sites.
