Reddit reviews Nintendo Wii U Console 8GB Basic Set - White

Amazon doesn't carry Nintendo console stock anymore. The only way to get Nintendo consoles through Amazon are to buy them through other merchants. If you look here at the Wii U you can see it's sold by Scott's Stuff Inc, not directly by Amazon. This is different from say an Xbox, which is sold directly through Amazon. You are right on one thing, though. There are other Wii U sellers on Amazon. If one runs out of stock another probably has some.

Any specific reason why you want a basic Wii U? Amazon has them but for that price you're better off just getting a Wind Waker Deluxe bundle or a MK8 Bundle.

Also, this thread is great for questions like this. You'll get a lot of help there.

I wouldn't call a ~$100 difference "around the same price"

Wii U

3DS

Wow, you both are just, wow! You two look amazing. I just can't even stand how good you look today! The way the light hits your eyes and wind hits your hair, you both are just stunning.

I would love a ps3 controller charger cable! as I don't actually have one for my controller and have been using my cd drive usb that uses two ports. XD

Thing under 20 are these micron pens or these Microsoft points. You pick! I know, both teams! Ahh!

C'mon...gimme ! However, I have been gifted by you both before so put me at the end of your priority list.

<3

Edit: if we are dreaming big, I'd say this big set of copic markers or...if we're dreaming bigger the wiiu :-X

Amazon isn't even distributing them. The only orders on there are by people selling their preorders at unreasonable prices.

I love Kevin


i like this item best on your wishlist. im playing mine right now! :)

theres a hoodie on my wishlist that i really want, but its from an external site. if i win and you can do that, great, but if not just surprise me buddy :)

The price dropped on this by $1.04 since I added it. What a deal!

THE WII U!! :D

I will have it before Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD comes out! I WILL!!!

EDIT: Oh right, vacations!

In a few weeks, I'm finally flying back to the mainland to visit my family in Ohio and get in some much needed Cedar Point action, and then I'm going down to Tennessee to see all my friends. Can't wait! <3

Browsed for about 10 minutes. Last one is your best bet. Good luck

> I mean nintendo seems to be the only one that knows how to make a console.

Eh? Didn't they have an initial update out of the box? Bricked some consoles iirc (pbkac) and it contained many of the online functions - internet connection (couldn't access the internet without it), NNID, eshop etc that took about 90-120 minutes. Not what you want from your new console that "works out of the box". Few noteworthy games in 2013 (I definitely remember TB going on about his Wii U collecting dust because he had nothing to play) which included cancelled multiplats like Metro, BF and Crysis. Then you get to the hardware - $335 for the 32GB version and $300 for the 8GB. The 360's 20GB release almost 9 years ago sucked then, yet Nintendo's only giving out 32GB max? What is this shit? Ffs phones have more than that. 512MB memory in 2005 wasn't that good then, 2GB was not good in 2012. 1GB of memory (DDR3 1600!) available for the devs. This isn't 2006, that is not good enough. Then you have the GPU which is worse than 2007 cards.

If that's "knowing how to make a console" then fuck me, they should give up now.

I found some basic Wii U's new on amazon for a smidge over $200
The first one after "featured venders" is $209 before shipping.

I haven't given in to temptation for the Switch yet, but the system already has more games I want than the Wii U did (the only games I really want for Wii U are Wind Waker HD and Xenoblade Chronicles X, and I already own the non-HD version of Wind Waker)... I usually don't buy a system until I can get it for under $100 USD, and while the Wii U is nearing that ($145.17 used on Amazon right now), I think I may skip the Wii U entirely... :P

EDIT: And yeah, I know I could buy a Wii U for BOTW instead of paying a ton for the Switch, but I'm more of a portable gamer anyway (I usually don't sit down at a home console unless it's for local multiplayer, and would probably play BOTW far more if I can take it with me on the go, so I want the Switch version)...

Are you in the US?

A quick Amazon search pulled these up:

Gaming and art are sorta my life right now, but I almost always put art first. I have been wanting a wii u for a while now to complete my Nintendo collection, but I always find something more practical and affordable to buy. It is much too Fancy for me! Awesome contest by the way!

I'm just going off the boxes and how they are listed on Amazon.

And I agree, they should release and all inclusive bundle with the game, adapter, and controller. Not that it would help me out, but I'm sure they'd sell like hotcakes.

you can just buy them, if you don't want used or third party, then buy one actually sold by Nintendo with a first-party guarantee.

Again I know it's tempting to cherry-pick information to make yourself seem right and the opposition utterly unreasonable but it's bad form.

3 left! http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Wii-Console-8GB-Basic-U/dp/B0050SVHZO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1372164301&sr=8-1&keywords=wii+u+basic

it is not $300, the cheapest is $459

How are they going to sell physical versions of the DLC without making you install content?

And no, it is 8GB. I am pretty sure I know how much memory I got on my bloody console, considering I bought it on launch. Why say wrong facts?

It says no price.

Lowest current discounted price for the 32GB model is $299

Lowest price not discounted is $350

If you can link me better deals on a console with specs beaten by tablets, go ahead.

edit: here comes the nintendo fanboy downvote brigade.
