Nintendo Wii U Premium Pack Mario Maker, Artbook, amiibo - £199 using code! @ rakuten / pixelelectronics

Awesome bundle and price. Love my Wii U

Love my WiiU, but I got the Mario Kart 32GB one for £180 on release of the game. Can't believe this is still £200.

Yup done it since the gamecube (although that was more comparable in xb and ps2 at the time). Couldn't be without the likes of zelda, metroid, mario etc. but i would be really struggling for entertainment if i only owned a wii u.

but you cant get Mariokart type game on the xbox...for little kids surely the wii U is by far the best console.

Good find op, excellent price for this bundle. Heat added.

Maybe worth noting the below info though (paste from advert):

"EURO Unit - UK 3-pin plug adapter supplied as required"

i have a 16gb (or possibly 32gb) flash stick and that is more than enough...120gb ssd seems excessive to be honest

Depends on how much digital content you have tbh, I have quite a bit - around 80GB worth so far. I wouldn't recommend a USB memory stick, they're also not advised by Nintendo. Not sure of the technical reason.

Digital games from the eshop, they average 5GB a game. Some are huge, e.g. Xenoblade X (23GB) and Lego City (22GB). Also, some updates for disk based games are huge too - Smash Bros for instance requires a 3GB patch.

Aye, I did too. Nintendo stuff seems to hold there price for some reason. Might be worth buying one of these and putting it in the loft for a future cash in.

Im after a wiiu but that game is pretty pointless and specially for a 6 year old.

Is it really worth getting a wiiu over an xbox one? Seems games are more expensive too...

Supposedly usb sticks arent meant to be continuously read and written from and will eventually burn out. That said i dont play on my wii u that much so i bought a usb stick for like £15 (cant remember if it was 64gb or 128gb) and have the xenoblade installs running on that without issue.

I like my wii but i would say if you're only buying one console get a xb1 or ps4, even for a 6 year old. There are so many games for all ages on those platforms. You will get 5+ years out of those, i doubt any wii u games will be released in 2 years.

Yeah seems too much for such an old console now. Whens the next gen out?

​Rumors are pointing to this Christmas for the release of the Nintendo NX. But definitely early next year at the latest I would say.

I'd have to disagree, our 6yo is glued to it, and he adores making new levels and playing other peoples content. He's successfully re-created some excellent levels, and shown how very creative he can be in his own right.

I think you'll be surprised just how awesome Mario Maker is for young 'uns.

Good price if you have to have a Wii U right now, but still overpriced in general terms and especially with the likely release of a new Nintendo console this year.

​suppose thats true...i buy discs where i can cause its cheaper but yeah if you go all digital then suppose you would need more...fair enough

...and i have a usb but dont really use it...got so could clear my wii u memory when thought had an error but was all good...just kept it for extra data should i need

Would'nt bother Nintendo are stopping production of wii u and games by the end of the year.

Yes, we sold our x-box one as most of the games are aimed at adults. Not much choice for kids. My 2 love the wii u, such a great, fun, family console
