Wii U Console, 32GB Premium Black (No Game), Discounted
Introducing The Wii U Premium
Discover a wealth of exciting new ways to enjoy home entertainment with Wii U, Nintendo's next home console. With a revolutionary new touch screen controller, precision motion controls, and full HD graphics, a whole new world of play styles and gaming possibilities is on the horizon. The time is coming to truly expand your idea about what a game console is - and can be.
A New Wii Console Experience
According to Nintendo President Satoru Iwata, "Wii U redefines the structure of home entertainment by fundamentally changing how the TV, the game console and the Internet function and interact together," he continues, "The experience enabled by Wii U and its new controller takes players deeper into their games, while reaching out wider than ever before to be inviting to all kinds of gamers."
Wii U combines motion-sensing gameplay with the ability to support full HD graphics. Each Wii U console will be paired with a new groundbreaking controller, with its 6.2-inch wide screen. Previously, video games played on a home consoles have been confined to the TV and offered identical viewpoints to each player in a multiplayer environment. The Wii U controller enhances that experience with different viewpoints available in-game and in differing games/game situations. Also, watching TV and playing console games have been completely separate experiences. The new controller removes these boundaries, creating a more dynamic and fluid gaming and entertainment experience.
Examples of this new functionality include:
The New Controller
In addition to its 6.2-inch screen, the new controller also features an accelerometer and a gyroscope, a rumble feature, an inward-facing camera, a microphone and speakers. Adding these features to the Classic Controller button scheme -- two analog Circle Pads, +Control Pad, A/B/X/Y buttons, L/R buttons and ZL/ZR buttons -- will enable a breadth of gameplay experiences while appealing to both casual and dedicated video game players. The Wii U system can also use up to four additional Wii Remote or Wii Remote Plus controllers and is backward compatible to all Wii games and all Wii accessories. The Wii console has sold more than 86 million units globally and greatly expanded the overall audience for video games. Wii U aims to expand that audience even further.

It’s not in the title, so it’s fine according to HUKD rule afaik,and I didn’t read description.
Unboxed is no box (surprise there eh?) but condition is usually very good.
Discounted is someone has taken a hatchet to the console and/or gamepad.
Allegedly discounted can be used for non official cables but not in cases I've seen, the condition for discounted is usually awful but it will work.
as i said - 'into' the thread where the premium is listed in the op
Unboxed means it is complete. Discounted means it’s missing something like an included HDMI cable, charging cable etc.
You can do that on the latest firmware.
Wrong console chief. Wii U is exploitable on Latest Firmware
Switch is recommended to stay on as low a version as possible in order to get exploits and CFW sooner
Quick give me the extra £150
Off the top of my head:
Bayonetta 2
Mario Kart 8
Super Mario 3D World
Splatoon
*subconscious reminds me I still have a copy of Breath of the Wild I was planning on using an emulator on...*
Agh!
Totally different consoles, this one is 32GB and that was 8GB.
And it’s saving compared to this deal. (edited)
Sorry. is spot on here. Seems CEX have changed their stance since I last looked.
Got this from the website.
Games consoles are graded as one of the following:
Thank you, probably worth paying the extra £5 for unboxed
Finally! Right... Better buy a switch...
Just checked through my phone it’s still £85.
Strange, It is on desktop now. It was showing £95 though. I SWEAR
Any good guides/videos to configure the Wii U to play our 'backup' games?
i didn't say it wasn't allowed in the rules i just said it was 'convenient' and it is
We believe you mate, tbh it won’t surprise me if CeX will put it back @ £95 anytime soon.
It's in-store.
Apart from Zelda what other games are worthwhile on Wii U? (edited)
Lego city undercover
Contact Nintendo with proof of your second hand purchase (ie receipt) and they will sort that out.
Exclusives:
Super Mario 3D World
Twilight Princess HD
Wind Waker HD
Super Mario Bros U
Game & Wario
Super Mario Maker (also on 3DS)
Yoshi's Woolly World
Also available on Switch:
Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze
Mario Kart 8 (Deluxe)

It also has the Virtual Console which allows you to play older Nintendo titled from SNES to N64. You can also use Wii discs and I believe GameCube discs (?).
Great console, extremely underrated. I still play it when I have friends round. Mario 3D World and Game & Wario are a ball with friends.
RIP Wii U. (edited)
