sorted byI've even gone and pre ordered Super Mario 3D World from Gameseek now for £34.
I'm not spending anymore!
Put a trailer of Super Mario Bros U and Super Mario 3D World on the TV to see what it was like, my 4 year old son went absolutely metal. He was shouting jump at the tv, he thinks it's fantastic. Think i've made the right choice, going to enjoy watching him get into Mario games like i did with the NES.

Specific games require a Wii Remote Plus (or the Motion+ attachment) to play, but it is not mandatory. A regular Wii Remote is fine for most all Wii games and you'll be able to navigate the Wii U's 'Wii Mode' menu with it just fine. Unless you wan't to play specific games with it, you don't need a Wii Remote Plus.
Yes, all your old Wii accessories, including all your Wii Remote's and Motion+ attachment, will work just fine on the Wii U!

Ah balls, i gave in anyway. Ordered.
I think i'm going to cancel my PS4 preorder, more i think about it the less i want the games at launch. Figure my son will get more enjoyment out of the Wii U with me also.
TCB's rate (is it electronics or a gadget?) or quidco's reliability?
Shop.To's reputation - 415 is a low number of transactions for a seemingly (by their website) large e-retailer
Lack of statutory info on Shop.To's website (it was tucked away on the info pages, but it didn't fill me with confidence, the way it was presented/hidden).
Nintendo's insane reluctance to deny its increasingly valued customers the basic right to BUY MORE CONTROLLERS!!!!!!!! Why design a state-of-the-art controller and beat your competitors to market but then score a silly own goal? I would expect them to sell these controllers with small margins to stimulate console and games sales, but to not sell them at all is ridiculous - how many sibling arguments will it cause over Christmas when one kid has the fancy controller and the other is stuck with the Mega Drive-esque input device?
Exceptional deal, voted hot, but not suitable for me for the above reasons. I'm almost sad, because it would have been nice to get some next gen gaming in before 2014/2015.
Remember, you can still play Gamecube games on your Wii (assuming you have the older version).....the one thing you can't do on the Wii U. If you think you might want a blast of Mario Sunshine some time in the future, then hang onto it.
You have the special edition gamepad, keep it!
Buy this and return on the other receipt
Haha, see his little face light up when got the GamePad in his hands. Take note, lurkers X)

Well anyway, I've bought some original Nintendo motion controllers and nunchucks, so I can play WII Sports Resort and the cheapest I could find are here:
nunchuck
Remote Plus
I dunno - the negative stuff gets a lot of attention, because its salacious and dramatic. But I read far far more posts from people who like/love it. There are zero people in this thread who have one previously who say they don't like it for example.
EDIT.
As J points out, the things people used to moan about have been largely addressed. The OS is no longer slow and there are now a stack of exclusive and 3rd party games with wii u features to own.
Play CoD Ghosts online on Wii U with no online charges like the other consoles.

As a big fan of PC gaming, I would say that the Wii U complements it beautifully. Also my X360 has been mostly dusty and unused since I got the Wii U, so I think it competes in the console arena quite well too. Go on, you know you want one!
Hot Deal!
That would be incredible, and I could imagine Steam and Nintendo existing in a close business relationship relatively comfortably - as long as it was just around third party titles. If cross buy came at a gentle premium, there could definitely be money to be made too. Would probably be a bit forward thinking though....
... and my wallet would probably finally collapse in on itself, forming some kind of financial singularity, and potentially destroying my relationship/ physical health!
and remember if you are getting it for xmas to set it up and do the updates NOW as its around the 2 hour mark to set up and update and with everyone and his dog doing it on xmas day its going to be even slower..
Thanks OP for posting this deal
Gone way over the top for Christmas this year after declaring I'd be sensible a month ago...
Do ShopTo still accept returns/exchange after three weeks?
Yes, it has a Wii mode, accessories and games compatible (believe you must have a original wii controller to play).

If you bought it online they have no choice - online purchases are covered by a 7 day 'cool down' law that gives you the right to cancel at any point up to 7 days after receipt of the goods.
I think Lego City is a good game on both Wii U and 3DS, so it's down to you really. It will be much bigger and elaborate on the wii u though and you can both enjoy it on the tv - it's a great laugh.
Yes, all your Wii games work on the Wii U. You transfer all your data like game saves and download games over to the Wii U from your Wii with an SD card. You can even play Wii games on the Wii U GamePad screen as if it were a portable mini TV.
Yes, you download the transfer app from the eShop on the Wii, plug in an SD card and follow instructions in the app. Then plug the SD into your Wii U and use the app on there to install everything.
cheers MadeInBeats. glad I didn't trade the Wii in now!
Yep, you can play Wii Games
Lego City Undercover on Wii U is the best version and the best lego game to date, go for it!
Lego Marvel this week too
To be fair I cannot remember a single Amazon black Friday that was anything other than a crushing disappointment. It's great if you want 40% off a Stargate box set. The odds of a Wii U deal that beats this are microscopic.
Oooh, get you nearly considering actually purchasing some games in the future... someone's fancy
heat!!
Those who don't grab it now might have problems finding it in a week or two. The Game store I bought mine from last week told me they had received only 4 units and while I was there somebody else bought another. You have been warned!

I bought the recent Zelda deal at the same price from Shop To and I have to say their service was fantastic.
They sure do have some great deals.
Nice.
