    Not worth it for you. I paid £350 for mine at launch and it's been well worth it. Fantastic console.

    Nah it's not too bad, I got the £185 deal from Shopto with Toad, Mario and Nintendoland, but probably would have went for this with the Premium and MK for a fiver more. Not worth returning over

    EDIT: The bundle I got somehow came with Smash Bros instead of Nintendoland, so suddenly I prefer my purchase over this deal again :P

    My charging stand is not flimsy, it also allows my 7 year old to charge the controller very easily by placing it into this stand rather than risking a broken usb plug and socket.

    I've played the Wii U more than any other console recently, highly recommend this deal! Mario Kart 8 online is fantastically addictive.

    Here you go - hotukdeals.com/dea…639 .

    £159, Basic white, comes with Wii Remote Plus (£40), Nintendoland (£7), and Just Dance (probably £10... can't be bothered to look). That makes the console £102. If you buy Mario Kart (£32 on here earlier today), that would make it £134, and you said you wanted £150.

    DO IT! :-)

I was a heavy console gamer but have moved towards the pc, if I was to get a console this would be it. Last gen I stuck to a ps3 with a Wii for a few months, before that I made a mistake and got them all. The original Xbox hardly got used along with the GC, ps2 and DC never got a rest.This in my opinion is the only real console left. I'm not a fan boy and would actually love a ps4 got gran tourism but knowing polyphony it'll take 3 years to release. Anyway ramble over but xenoblade was one of the beßt jrpgs I've ever played.



    I'd say the PC and Wii U is the perfect combination for gaming, you get the most diverse and best games IMHO, apart from a handful of good exclusives for the PS/Xbox. There aren't that many 3rd party games for the Wii U but the first party games are of a very, very high standard. I have a PS4 and I barely use it, the Wii U and PC get far more use.

    Sony and Microsoft are not catering for the 'traditional' gaming experience, they're trying to be a set top box multimedia hub, where you snap Sky Sports to your Skype window while managing your fantasy NFL team. Nintendo is the company actually focusing on making a games machine this generation instead of being jack of all trades and master of none.

    Tbh they're only really noticeable in brightly lit rooms.

    Plus if you had a white one, it'd likely be the only white piece of technology anywhere near your TV. Sticks out like a sore thumb.

    Then again I have pretty bad OCD. I'm sure plenty of people are free to enjoy life and white Wii U's instead of worrying about pointless things like parking cars with the steering wheel left perfectly straight.

    Great price - below £200 for premium and with a great game is a rare find. Well done OP.

    I have a Wii U and I must admit I spend more time playing GAMES on here than I do with my PS4 or XBO.

    I hate this site. I can't imagine how much more cash I'd have if I didn't visit it.

    Thanks OP. I've now got a nice Wii U. And it got the wife's approval, as this is black, unlike the Wii.
    And we can still play all the Wii games we already have.
    I can't think of many downsides to be honest.

    Now, what other games to get...

    Yeah if you drove into your living room. The distance between controller and console is poor, few metres I've found and requires line of sight.

    For god sake what will it take for people to buy one? I bought my sons an Xbox One for christmas with a couple of games, they also got Super Smash Bros on the old Wii U. Guess what they play more? I'll give you a hint, it was £400 less than the item that is collecting dust.
    I'm not saying that the Wii U is a better console but the games are way more fun. My wife hates games but she loves chasing the kids around on Luigi's Mansion mini game on Nintendo Land. It's a great console that's criminally overlooked!

    I got two of these from Amazon US
    nintendofeed.com/201…tml

    Were about £23 each and they're fantastic imho, much better than the usual quality you expect from third party pads and I think I prefer them to Nintendo's. Beware cheap 'official' pro controllers from eBay and Amazon, a lot of them are fakes.

    I am very fond of my Wii U and absolutely love Smash Bros at the moment … I am very fond of my Wii U and absolutely love Smash Bros at the moment but frankly, third party support for the console is terrible. With games like Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor, Tomb raider, FC4 and many others coupled with upcoming games like the division, MGS and Final Fantasy and lots more; a Wii U is simply not enough. Also, Nintendo have made a very poor attempt at branding the Wii U appropriately.


    I agree. Hence the reason why we do have xbox's in our house however I was just stating that the Wii U has captivated my kids far more than the shiny new xbox. In my opinion I think a lot of people miss out through being narrow minded about graphics and power being the be all and end all. With the Wii U dropping to around the £200 mark I just hope that there are more adopters of the system. Get a PS4 or Xbox One by all means but for a flip side of gaming goodness, please drop all the "Nintendo is for kids rubbish" and discover what makes Nintendo so revered amongst older gamers.

The Wii U is trying to compete on all fronts when it should have stuck to Pokemon, Zelda and Smash Bros, with large helpings of Mario titles like MK.Sony and Microsoft cater for the more "traditional" gaming experience. Plus, they have better graphics. People tend to vote with their wallets when it comes to graphical differences.


    I'd argue that they are now playing to their strengths i.e. first party Nintendo games. As for graphics, well I for one think that Mario Kart 8 was visually stunning and super smooth, plus it worked perfectly straight out of the box. On the flip side I bought Assassins Creed Unity and Master Chief Collection in the build up to Christmas and they were quite frankly broken upon release. Despite numerous patches (MCC is taking up a whopping 60GB of my hard drive, 3 times more than Destiny) I'd argue that they are still broken now. So graphics and power do not necessarily make a good game. Talent and quality however control do.

    Cheer up, I never said I want the demise of Nintendo, no sane gamer … Cheer up, I never said I want the demise of Nintendo, no sane gamer would, their games are amazing. But, this console is a shambles.They need to compete & the same 10 franchises aren't as popular with the youth of today, as they were when I was a kid. Hence sales aren't coming.



    I would disagree, console wise the Wii was a shambles but saved Nintendo in sales figures.

    The Wii U is a fantastic console that has had a poor start (hardly surprisingly because of poor marketing and gamer interest...once bitten twice shy) but is slowly gaining in sales.
