What he's saying is if you have a time machine (mines broke) then you could get this deal cheaper. Since mines broke I'll give you some heat..
Was £127 from rakuten with £25 credit last week, so you could have got mario kart for £15 or look at it as paying full price for mario but paying £102 for the console. Meeting roughly halfway makes console £110
Can I borrow yours?
Plus 1 amiibo.
oh - and buy this for yourself --> hotukdeals.com/dea…936. you won't regret it.
Definitely a glitch, yes.
The Wii motes are yes
- It's got a brand new concept
- We'll get more details about NX sometime in 2016
- It's a gaming console of some kind and it's codename is NX.
Even if it was a home console and Zelda was marked for a launch release for it, it will still come to the Wii U. Nintendo has never gone a console generation without a Zelda game.

congrats if you get it and to everyone who jumped onboard before they noticed. can't see it being honoured anymore though.
Just confirmed DPD delivering tomorrow. Probably the first time I've ever been on here at the right time - am sorry that others missed out though:-/

How does that make them crappy?
If a clearance line is spotted somewhere cheap and its sold out in every other store is that their fault?
Hehe, sneakyduck, thanks for the heads up - just bought. Going nowhere near my son though;D
Will do. Believe you me, there's no one safe from my wrath if they let me down on my son's birthday present;O
possible glitch? can't see anywhere where it suggests you'd get both games for free - am I missing something?
Could you show me where the console is £110?
But it's not though, is it? That was a one-off deal that expired over a week ago
(_;)
Are wii controllers compatible with the wii u? Think I remember reading the games are??
Hoping for zero or optional touch screen integration so it can be played with regular controls.
I'm sorry yours has been cancelled, Stef. My order must have been processed before they realised there was a glitch ;-/
The new platform won't be shown to the public until next year, and from that moment on it's going to be at least one year until it's actually released. That makes it almost 2 years the earliest. Zelda will most likely be coming on second quarter 2016 so that's like 1 whole year ahead of the NX launch which will most likely be a portable console seeing that the 3DS will be already 7 years old.
I have a theory that the NX will be a home and mobile console that run the same games. If they partnered with Nvidia in 2016 or 2017 then a mobile chip based on its currently unreleased pascal architecture, based on 16nm or 14nm fab could approach the horsepower of XBox One (approx 1.2 Teraflops) with about 7 watts of power drain, a 6 or 7 hour battery life, as long as there was a little bit of active cooling initially (ala Shield Console).
Whatever, it's a long time until Zelda now, but it is a short window between the NX and the next Zelda. Coming off the back of the failure of Wii U (commercially - I know there are some awesome Wii U games), Nintendo really needs a killer app for their new platform. There is no larger killer app than open-world Zelda in my view - so it is reasonable to consider that Nintendo might push the game exclusively onto the newer faster platform as a means of supercharging adoption. They could sell it to their audience by showing them crazy cool stuff that is only possible on the new tech. I'd buy any hardware with a new Zelda game on it (bought N64 for OoT, bought GBA for Z:MC, bought DS for Z:PH, bought Wii for Z:TP). If Nintendo released Zelda Wii U, then the NX, then I'd ignore the NX and buy the Wii U + Zelda. That's the issue at play here. Zelda releases are bigger than hardware releases to the Zelda hardcore.
Until I'm sure what platform Zelda is arriving on, I'm simply not buying the console. I suspect the NX will have the full compliment of Wii U titles (recompiled), and will be powerful enough to compete with PS4/XBox One, so if Zelda is coming to the NX, and if the best Wii U titles are also coming to the NX, and if I'm only concerned about Zelda, then I'm waiting until I know which platform Zelda is on before I have to find more closet space for Nintendo gimmick controllers. I'm hoping NX will be gimmick light. I'd also kill for remakes of SMG 1 + 2 with the waggle controls edited out. I own a Wii and I own Z:TP, SMG1, SMG2, Z:SS, but I HATE wiimotes, especially how they shoehorned in analogue waggle controls into games that require absolute timing precision. The nunchuk was a superb add-on to the awfulness of the WiiMote, but the battery life of WiiMotes was shocking, and the precision possible with WiiMotes was greatly exaggerated by Nintendo and the media at large. Wii motes could detect waggle, orientation with large amounts of latency, and approximate direction where you were pointing at the TV with large amounts of latency. Useless for swordplay, Samba de Amiga, and most traditional games (without the nunchuck). Wii Sports Tennis was effectively a one button game, that button activated by loosely defined waggle.
expired.
Star Fox might be delayed too.
Right now my Wii U is literally an MK8box. lol
good man - let us know if they honour it. for some reason I have the opinion in my head that Smyths are kinda crappy and I want to put that rumour to bed. I think it might be based purely on the number of wild goose chases posted (they did a Wii U one a few months back and nobody had stock for the price advertised).
"sour grapes" is my answer
