    Problem is now, I won't be interested at all now in the Wii U if it's more expensive than £200 so I think Nintendo should set it at this price point or below

    So you think that WiiU controllers will be £200? And we're the planks?

    Look Wozzer, most here thought this would be an error. The release date was the biggest giveaway. Amazon will likely send emails out to cancel the orders now, but what have we lost? 2 minutes of our time placing an order. Big whoop!

    Stop trying to rile people up by acting so arrogant.

    Now this is a more reasonable price. Gonna have this on pre-order and then decide later to keep it or not. Hopefully the price drops even further.

    Heat added!

    I haven't contacted Amazon about this but think you can probably start filling out the refund form right now; REASON FOR RETURN: Product not as described (does not include hands in picture with tablet controller).

Very feed up with then tbh


    It was never going to happen at the end of the day........... Why order a wii u off them if your hacked off that your pre-orders never came on time? i will tell you why, price the same reason you will order off them next time round because its the cheapest

    The console doesn't even have an rrp yet. How is this a deal?



    Its a deal as this is the best price as of yet and you can actually pre-order it

    What games interest you #?



    On this console, I would say that ZombiU is the only game that I would consider pre-ordering alongside it and I can imagine that's probably quite a popular opinion.

    If you can't find anything of interest on the PS3 or 360 though then you may as well either give up gaming altogether or just stick to your Wii balance board.

    Not a bad price for new console



    I'd be expecting to pay twice this to play games like Arkham City and Assassins Creed.

I reckon the console will only come with a basic controller and the touch screen controllers will be sold seperately.Still considering ordering one just to resell at Christmas.



    Not a chance..the screen controller is the main controller for the system..many of the announced launched games (Zombi U, Nintendoland, Game & wario) wouldn't even be playable without the screen controller.

    The console doesn't even have an rrp yet. How is this a deal?



    Because the rrp is unlikely to be lower. it will in fact probably be higher. If it's lower u pay less if its higher you dont pay anymore and you can cancel for FREE. you can't lose. that's why it's a deal.

    Nods, wiiU controllers must be in the region of £50 (Im expecting near £60, will be surprised if they are are £45 or below), ordered one just incase it does get honoured, I remember getting the wii first week of release and straight swapping for a 360 with games mwhahahah.

    Nintendo could be analysing these pre-order deals and find the 'sweet spot' for an RRP by seeing how much interest different prices get.

    No, Iwata the chairman on Nintendo confirmed that all Wii U's will come with a console and a Tablet Pad controller.

    Interesting. If anyone in the UK (retailer wise) has a direct line through to the department that sets prices at Nintendo it would be Amazon, they will probably be one of the biggest (if not the biggest) online sellers of Wii U.

    Worth a punt.

    What a load of cr*p, save your £200 and wait for the xbox 720.
  40. evilvort3x's avatar
    regardless.... its offered as 199... if it gets honoured ... great.. if not then no worries. Quite simple isnt it?
