Nintendo Wii U

[SMD]

But then it wouldn't be new now.

[NEG]

It wasn't new in 2006 either. (wah wah)

[SMD]

Oh NEG.

Sega are gone. We have to move on.

[JPickford]

I tend to agree. It's price not value that matters. You could chuck in another 10 games and 3 Wimotes sell for £500. Better value but an even worse price.

They need a £150-£180 bundle with one great game.

I just picked up Rayman Legends for £19.99 from Game. Just posting in case anyone else has been waiting for it to drop in price.

So thought I would check this out at Game here, but popped into HMV which is just beside it and they were selling it for £17.99, no sign of deal in Game, just preowned for £34.99!?!

[Paulando]

Was surprised I had no space left for the Sonic Lost World demo as it was 8.5GB! Then realised I'd clicked to buy the bloody thing. Dodged a bullet there. Ended up getting the demo and it's as painfully shit as the reviews made out.

[NEG]

Don't buy it with a ten foot pole.

For Super Mario 3D World, NSMBU and the DLC plus a Wiimote?

Well, separately, you can get a premium, NSMBU/NSLU, both Wii Sports Club games, Mario 3D World, a Wii Remote AND Zombi U for under £299. And 30 days Karaoke U. So it's not that great a deal really.

[SMD]

But no hat...

£5 on Play Asia

[NEG]

Phew, I thought they died for a moment there. But they're back!

[SMD]

We need to talk about NEG.

We need to talk about NEG.

You just reminded me of how much I love this:

[stefcha]

Yes. It's not selling. It won't sell, even with that lot, at £300. It needs to be seen as a bargain, too good to miss. £300 is too much.

I'm on the fence about a Wii U, were that pack £250 I'd have just bought one as soon as I could. As it is, nah, too much to sway me.

You could get it without a remote but with the two Wii Sports games and a month of karaoke for about £250.

[NEG]

Does the karaoke include music by extremely famous Irish singers?

[JPickford]

Nothing but.

[joffocakes]

There are no Divine Comedy songs NEG.

Yeah, but the the Mario remote would be a draw. Add the £35 there to the £255 for the rest of it, I can buy what's in there for a tenner less than they'd want to charge plus the two Sports games. Which is more of a bargain but I'm still on the fence even so - that Mario 3D pack isn't a bargain in any sort of way, basically.

[SozzlyJoe]

I was reeling at that offer when I saw it because I just bought the premium with Mario and Luigi last week in that Play deal. Thought I could've had 3d World too! And a hat! Then I realised it was TWO hundred and ninety-nine pounds, and I had only paid 199. LOL good old Nintendo.

[cavalcade]

Phew, I thought they died for a moment there.

Death's too good for them.

What I'd give for 10 minutes, alone, in a dark warehouse with those two fuckers.

[NEG]

There are no Divine Comedy songs NEG.

Shame.

[BubbleFish]

The standard SMB/ SMBL seems to have gone back to £240 now so by my reckoning that plus £35 for SM3D plus £39 for Remote+ and a priceless hat means you're still saving around £14 (plus priceless hat) I know it's not cheap but it's confirmed my delaying a PS4 and getting this instead.

[sandman]

Fr goodness sake, it needs to be £179 with NSMBU and nowt else. That's what will sell this Xmas.

[Not Thread Owner]

Original price and any additional title.

Mind you, that was a year ago. Things may have changed.

[V3zna]

£199.99 with either Zelda or the new Mario and Nintendo will potentially do ok this Christmas. Breaking that under £200 barrier is key.

Anyone used a 3rd party gamepad battery pack?

ie http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3000mAh-Extra-Rechargeable-Battery-Pack-Replacement-for-Nintendo-Wii-U-Gamepad-/141107263013?pt=US_Video_Game_Batteries&hash=item20daa5f625

[Massive Invisible Dog]

They won't be as good as the first party one.

Can the Fit Meter be used by multiple profiles?
