Best wii u consoles according to redditors

http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/aplus/detail-page/B009AGXH64hardware.jpg

Amazon has a mariokart bundle new for $250 ($50 off) this week, it's a great deal. The other Amazon prices are (the bad kind of) insane, up to $360+. All those bundles are $300 flat at retailers.

Edit: link

The number of solid exclusives for Wii U is very high, so you'll have used game pick ups forever:

• Mariokart
  
• Smash
  
• Splatoon
  
• Yoshi Woolly World
  
• Kirby
  
• Wonderful 101
  
• Xenoblade Chronicles X
  
• Warioware (or whatever it's called this time)
  
• Zelda Windwaker remake
  
• Mario Maker
  
• Mario & Luigi U
  
• Bayonetta
  
  Biggest issue is that a bunch of the games haven't dropped much in price since they've come out.

If you're going to jerk about consoles, at least get your fucking information right.


Consoles are NOT $400 anymore. At most, $350 for a new one. PS4 $349 [Xbox One S $299](
https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-One-S-500GB-Console/dp/B01GW3GY3K/ref=sr_1_9?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1466543769&sr=1-9&keywords=xbox+one) Wii U $299




5 games will cost $300 if you don't have GCU or Amazon Prime and buy new releases, shit. I could pre-order 5 games now on Amazon and it'll be less than $250.


What the fuck kind of accessories are you buying that'll equal $100 - 200? I bought a fucking stand and another controller and a usb extension cable. Under $100. Double digits motherfucker.



Yep. Uh huh. 1 year is totally $150.

Wii-U

To play this game you need to get a Wii U. You can play any Wii U game ^^(obviously) and you can play any Wii game. It also has Virtual Console which is older games from the NES to the Gamecube you can download and play on your Wii U.

I saw a post a few days back about GameStop having Wii U for $99 USD. New Wii Us are very expensive.

Well that did make my frontal lobe hurt. My whole brain, rather.

Also,
>A graphics card costs more than a Wii U, PS4 or Xbox One.

No. A Wii U costs $320, a PS4 costs $390 and an Xbox One costs $300.

My video card, an AMD Radeon HD 7850, costs $170. It runs everything on highest settings (that includes Skyrim with lots of (graphical) mods, and more).

(I don't have a VisionTek video card, but it's basically the same thing.)

Edit: some words.

You just missed all the big bargains!

Technically, you can get the Wii U for under $250 right now. On Amazon, you can get the Skylanders Swap Force/Nintendoland 8GB Bundle for $248.88, but that's one that comes with the 8GB Wii U and not the 32GB Wii U, and it really is worth it to spend the extra $50 and get the Super Mario 3D World/Nintendoland 32GB Bundle ($279 at Fry's right now if you can find it in-store), or the New Super Mario Bros. U/New Super Luigi U/Nintendoland 32GB Bundle

If you're okay with Refurbished/Pre-Owned, you have a few more options:

Refurbished 8GB Wii U for $229.99 at Gamestop

Refurbished 32GB Wii U with ZombiiU for $259.99 at Gamestop

Refurbished 32GB Wii U with Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge and Need For Speed Most Wanted U at Gamestop for $289.99

Refurbished 32GB Wii U with Rayman Legends, Scribblenauts Unmasked and Sonic Lost World at Gamestop for $289.99

Hope this helps!

Interesting, and yet, Amazon.ca is selling them as a retailer. However, all the Amazon.com entries I found were indeed from other merchants.

SAVAGES, SAVAGES, BARELY EVEN GAMERS!

This is the new one he just posted

Only in the US. You can go right ahead and preorder the UK version today if you like.

If you live in New Zealand (or anywhere in the PAL region) check out the massive discount Dicksmith is having.

Germany is also having a sale (or so I'm told, I have no idea what the standard price was).

Besides that the best deal you can get (in my opinion) in the Americas is Walmart's ZombiU bundle.

Hope this helps!

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.

The 32gb Deluxe set Wii U costs $368.95 on Amazon. Even the nice ZombiiU Deluxe Set only costs $399.99 on Newegg. Nowhere near $500.

Just imagine being able to take the tablet on the go.

It's a tamagochi sort of deal, you probably remember those right?

This bundle here comes with Mario Kart which you can play alongside her and nintendoland which is kind of like those Mii games you mentioned

I'd go with that

https://www.amazon.com/Wii-Super-Smash-Splatoon-Bundle-Nintendo/dp/B017CCKMU6

Sure, but that VAT doesn't mean the same Wii U Bundle at $360 (around $380-$400 with US sales tax) should be selling for £299- which includes 17.5% VAT ($446) in the UK.

US: http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Wii-Console-Black-Deluxe-U/dp/B009AGXH64/ref=sr_1_9_twi_con_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1450440569&sr=1-9&keywords=wii+u+bundle

You can get it at [Target] (http://www.target.com/p/nintendo-wii-u-deluxe-set-includes-splatoon-and-super-smash-bros/-/A-50043479#prodSlot=medium_1_1&term=wii+u) with Smash and Splatoon for $300 right now. [Amazon] (http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-32GB-Mario-Pre-Installed-Deluxe-u/dp/B011XO54MA/ref=sr_1_3?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1448983750&sr=1-3&keywords=wii+u) has it for $250 with Mario Kart 8. I think it was cheaper on black Friday. Might see if there are any more sales between now and Christmas.

Edit: Oh, damn. Just saw you're in Aus. Sorry mate!

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

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

Wii U

3DS

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.

Damn, something I want. Well, the things I want the most at this moment are definitely not reasonable in value (eg: a few hundred dollars, damn consoles), so I guess I link one of the things I'd really love that falls into semi-reasonable levels:

This
because I'm trying to complete my Epic Collection set and the older sets (including this one) are getting hard to find.

If I'm dreaming big, a giftcard towards saving for this would be amazing!




As for the gift two . . . C'mon...gimmie.




Anyways, I wish the best of luck to everybody. I've heard so many good things about the both of you in just the few days that I've been here. Whoever wins will be really lucky people.


Oops, and forgot to mention how lovely you both look today!

Actually thats a different pack, it doesn't have the red wiimote or red racing wheel. The Mario Kart 8 Wii U Deluxe Bundle that I have has a red border like this:

http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Wii-Deluxe-Set-Bundle-U/dp/B00MVUKM0A/

Best deal. You get two great games and it's standard retail price.

This should get you set up. This bundle comes with Super Smash Bros. and Splatoon, which, in my opinion, are the two best games on the system.

www.amazon.com/Wii-Super-Smash-Splatoon-Bundle-Nintendo/dp/B017CCKMU6/ref=sr_1_2?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1456888549&sr=1-2&keywords=wii+u+bundle

According to amazon, CeX is selling the Deluxe edition for £5 less than a new unit on amazon.. And the Amazon one will include the $60 USD Nintendo Land. Either way, I think a £5 difference isn't worth buying the used unit without the game.

Really? If you lived in the UK, i'd give you the one that we have, my kids haven't used it in ages.

also, is this what you are looking for? Or is there something different that she had in mind?

According to Amazon, only component connections (and up) are supported: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nintendo-Wii-U-White/dp/B004Y59P3A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1347548616&sr=8-1

> 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.

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

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

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 :)

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

1. Wii U - 32GB Black Deluxe Edition
   
   
2. My boys have been wanting one since they found out it existed (which was like before I knew about it). And I won't deny that the Wii U has some games I'd love to play.
   
   
3. I'd like to think I would.
   
   "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

A Wii-U

I want it so I can play more games cuz I love games.

and I probably wouldn't be okay with that cuz it's my Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

C:

1 -- The Wii U Bundle

2 -- Because I love Nintendo and I skipped getting a regular Wii. I enjoy playing it at my parents' when I'm there. Also, Zelda. And Mariokart. And Smash Bros.

3 -- Probably... there are many games I have in my backlog to play, so I'd survive without it.

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is actually a song I'm not as fond of as everyone else seems to be. Dunno why.

1. A wii u.
   
   
2. I bought one the week they were released, and had a ton of fun with it. It was great for parties, and there were a ton of games coming out I was looking forward to. However, one night I left my apartment for a couple hours and came back to find that it, along with all of my other electronics, had gotten stolen. I haven't been able to afford replacing it, so that's why it's wound up on my wishlist.
   
   
3. Oh, yeah, of course. It's definitely a luxury item, and my life will go on without it. It's just hard having something you saved up your money for being taken from you suddenly.
   
   Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

I am a streamer who is looking to improve my set-up over this summer. One of the things I am looking to do is separate the audio from my game system to a USB mixer I am looking to pick-up. My big tradeoff would be that no longer I'd have separate tracks on OBS Studio (where it records the audio) but with easily being able to adjust audio live better through a mixer I think it's worth it.

-
So my set-up would be Game System HDMI Out -> Capture Card HDMI-In -> Capture Card HDMI-Out -> HDMI Splitter -> HDMI Audio Converter Extractor -> USB Audio Mixer.

Essentially after the audio converter, I'd plug this in (RCA Cables) into here (L and R Tape In on the board.) Sorry if I'm not technical enough...still learning a lot. Is this correct and would it work well?

How would I be able to send the sound out to a venue's sound system and then be able to control what they can hear on it while maintaining the stream on my computer captures a different sound?

For example: When an actual match is being played I do NOT want the commentators being heard on the live PA system as it would disrupt the competitors...so at that point I'd want the sound going to the venue system to be turned off...but once the game ends I'd want them to speak to the venue about any deals showing on screen, in general getting the crowd hype, etc. How would that be possible?

Thanks for any help you can give!

I haven't used any handheld pi. I guess there are some good alternatives though.

​

​

NDS with charger. $25 - $40 (I would get the DSi) (DSlite bumpers and things tend to wearout)

A flash cart for NDS. $15 - $20 (DSTT I hear is best) (Acekard2i is great) (R4 is hard to tell the model) (DSTWO flashcart drains battery life, is overpriced, but has built in cpu and emulators for gba snes and genesis) All are compatible with 3ds, NDS, DSi.

MicroSD. $10. Samsung EVO 32gb on amazon is a good deal

The DS has a lot of great games, snes and genesis emulators work okay but not the best. GBA emulation only works with dstwo or ez-flash.

Total $50 - $70.

​

​

PSVITA w/ charger $110 - $150. Never used one, cfw is available for firmware up to 3.68. The firmware 3.69 is not hackable.

Vita Memory Card + microsd $20. Since the proprietary memory card are so expensive.

PSVITA & TV are cfw compatible up to 3.67 - 3.68, however there may be some homebrew incompatibility on these firmwares. 3.69 is not compatible yet. CFW can load PSP homebrew as well as play PS1.

Total $130 - $170

​

​

Wii U complete console $140. Used - Very good

SD card. $15 Sandisk 64gb Extreme SDXC

DS Virtual Console Game $10 From E-shop, needed to play DS on Console/Gamepad screens.

Emulates Nintendo up to DS, has an abandoned PSX emulator from the wii. Portable and Console for TV.

Total $165

​

The consoles and handhelds fluctuate in price. PSvita TV was low as $40 at one time, they are a bit inflated right now but collectors items will hold value. Finding one second hand or used for half-price is probable a used PSP is easy to find for $40 but not online.

​

​

RPI $25 - $40 RPI3b+ is what I have connected to my TV. The RPI2 is similar to RPI0 and emulates PSX but not all, as per the RPI3B+. There are many SBCs, I think the OdroidC2 and Tinkerboard and NanoPI M4 are all interesting but I have not used them.

Case + Heatsink and fan $25 - $30 There are other cases Argon One, SuperPI Retroflag, many others, some bundles heatsink and fan are necessary for the rpi3b+. The retroflag controllers are not preferred.

Power Supply $15 or official raspberry pi power supply.

MicroSD $10

Controllers $15 - $35 There are a lot of options here, recycle your PS3 or XBOX360 controller, Buy a corded Ibuffalo Snes, 8bitdo SF30, logitech, retro-bit/retrolink n64. I think only the RPI3B+ and RPI Zero W have bluetooth, else an adapter is needed.

Total $75 - $130

​

&&&

​

$50 (zero W + microsd + psu) + all the parts for building a gameboy zero

battery ~15

powerblock ~20

usb teensy ~15

controllermodule ~10

lcd and shield ~30

case ~20?

main buttons ~10?

audio amp and speaker ~10?

extra buttons and switches, wheels ~15?

Total ~$195

Probably either this PS3 Bundle, this 3DS XL preferably with Monster Hunter Ultimate and Etrian Odyssey IV. Or this Wii U.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009AGXH64/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1496590949&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=wii+u&dpPl=1&dpID=41ugCvxSD8L&ref=plSrch

Sounds like the relevant titles for you are:

• Zelda U (when it comes)
  
• Twilight Princess HD (when it comes)
  
• Wind Waker HD
  
• Hyrule Warriors
  
• and possibly Sm4sh
  
  If you don't have a Wii, that means you'd now be able to play Skyward Sword as well, and the non-HD version of Twilight Princess.
  
  It's as low as $222 on Amazon for a used (in "good" condition) Wii U console. If that sounds worth it to you go right ahead.
  
  Personally I'm going to hold out and see what they announce in regards to the NX. If they're launching a new console that will also support Zelda U and the HD remakes, then no way am I splurging money on a dead console. Though, from what was said back in March, it sounds like the NX, the 3DS, and the Wii U will coexist.

Amazon.co.uk sells WiiU consoles.

Well first off would be getting a refurbished one from nintendo. Comes with the gamepad and Nintendo Land for $200. Or as far as bundles go there's the bundles on amazon here and here. There will also be black Friday deals at various retailers (and Cyber Monday). You'll also want to invest in a second controller the Wii U Pro controller or the Wiimote+Nunchuck combo.

I would defintely check out the deals on games and controllers for Black Friday. I think I saw Target doing a Wii U pro controller $20 off but I could be wrong.

I'm sorry, I should have been more clear

amazon is your friend

although makes sense to get premium.

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.

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.

http://www.amazon.ca/Nintendo-Wii-Console-8GB-Basic/dp/B0050SVHZO/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=3U9EMY6ZMSXYO&coliid=I1OHH8WMQ4RKXW

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!

Are you in the US?

A quick Amazon search pulled these up:

Basic Model: http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Wii-Console-8GB-Basic-U/dp/B0050SVHZO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1426535995&sr=8-1&keywords=wii+u+white

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)...

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.

Not if you look carefully. Here is the 32 GB version with Windwaker for 250 at amazon.de or 275 € at the Dutch mediamarkt. Premium Luigi & Mario bundle at 270 € or 255 € for lego city. (Via tweaker's pricewatch). The gameless premium SKU is available for 239 or 249 €. (via budgetgaming.nl)

325.90? The price I get on Amazon.de is 310.26 Euro. That's the one that is sold and shipped by Amazon directly. There are other sellers of course.

That 22.59 Euro for shipping. Where did you get that from? Could you provide a link to that information. I've tried looking up the information for Croatia, but couldn't find it. (Croatia isn't even listed in the "EU countries" lists.)

http://www.amazon.de/Nintendo-Wii-U-schwarz/dp/B0090LFL0E/ref=sr_tr_sr_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1346163067&sr=8-2
its still there in germany

How about....a WiiU?

I have one myself and I love it. I just need to get some more games for it

Dang girl

I don't have any gift cards yet, but I am saving money, and hoping for the price drop soon. I want the wiiu and some games.

I freakin love nintendo stuff and I just got a new job and the SO moved out so I have more time to play now, but it's been too expensive for me to justify buying.

oh yea, Saving Private Ryan

This or This or This

Why?

1 Wii U - well I collect video games and LOVE nintendo and I have been wanting to play one for a long time now.

2 Barbell - Im getting in to working out and I have dumbbells and a bench so I would like to add this to stuff I can do

3 drawing desk - I love to draw and I would like a place to do it. I have always wanted one of these. (the glass one)

And a lot of my speech therapy materials.

Says shipping is $10.33, not bad.

dae remember this retro gem???

I'm assuming you are looking at the one for $193.92 here
I would suggest paying a little bit more and getting a $200 'refurbished' unit direct from Nintendo.
The console comes in better condition (most of these are probably new units that Nintendo took back from retailers when the Wii U went off the shelves), with all necessary cords and cables, and also includes a one year warranty from Nintendo.
In my opinion, Nintendo's refurbished consoles are the best way to buy a Wii U right now because you know exactly what you're getting and you get a great warranty package with it. If you would rather order from Amazon, the only way you can find more about what you're buying is if you contact the seller or actually order it. Amazon has a pretty good return policy so if you are missing something, I'm sure you could just send it back.

On public it's the WiiU Premium Mario & Luigi Pack for £239 (but the Zelda Pack is out now, and that's £19 cheaper, and I really wanna play the new zelda, so I might change it to that), I've also got this on a private wishlist for £300, though I don't remember it being that much when I added it, the first-party seller seems to be gone and it's just a sole third-party seller now, all very confusing.

> I looked at buying a Wii U - far more expensive in the UK.

$318 from Amazon.com

$366 from Amazon.co.uk

£30 difference

edit: Looks like the price changed after I commented. Here's a graph of the price of this Amazon.co.uk Wii U.

Cool, thanks for that!

It is this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nintendo-Super-Mario-Luigi-Premium/dp/B00FS23T26

Also, must mention my son is only 4 but he loves Mario Kart so this console is also for dad! Haha.

Still available for cheaper, with an extra game!

Your unlikely to find a Deluxe version for less then $300. However, there's the Skylanders Swapforce Bundle with the White 8 GB model of the WiiU, but by the time you add a decently sized SD card you might as well pickup the Super Mario 3D World bundle for $305.

Nintendo Wii U Deluxe Set: Super Mario 3D World and Nintendo Land Bundle - Black 32 GB

Wii u mario kart 8 bundle is not wal-mart exclusive.

Do your research.

amazon.ca has a similar deal until the 27th, but it is with the super mario 3d land bundle. you can also choose donkey kong tropical freeze instead of windwaker

They're still $500?! I get it's a bundle but damn. It's one gen old too. Is this right?

Mario 3D World Deluxe Bundle was the best deal I could find for $359 on amazon.

When I bought it on black friday.

EDIT: Welp, I wished I waited. $300

This is a really good deal, $295 with Mario 3D & Nintendo Land:

-- only maybe $20-$30 more expensive than refurbished, and you get something that's brand new & ships right away.

Are these not officially being sold by Nintendo through Amazon? Or do you mean that they don't do console pre-orders?

Edit: Nvm.

I'm going to be moving out of my parents house soon as they are PCSing next summer and I can't go with them, and I won't be able to take their Wii U with me. I've put a lot into DLC for Smash 4 and a few other games, and I've dedicated a good chunk of my last year to Sm4sh, but I don't have the money for one right now due to car payments and college debt and insurance and the like, and if I don't get one within this year I won't ever get one because I won't be able to transfer my saves and DLC data. Any of the bundles on Amazon would be good, but this one would be best because it includes two games so you get more for less.

I am impressed by your generosity and want to thank you very much, even if my request is not chosen to be fulfilled.

Here you go.

Or maybe...

Seriously, they're good.

WTF, el Wii U esta mas caro.

I'll go with something I can use with the family. I don't have much time for PC gaming any more, and though it would be nice to have a better PC, I think a Wii U would be much more family-oriented.

It's $299.

> i just wanna play the real super mario maker!

Check out this link. Should get you going straight away!

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.

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 is not $300, the cheapest is $459

I would say the Wii-U is going to be a massive commercial flop and will cause Nintendo to finally start getting serious about besting Microsoft and Sony, if not pull out entirely from console manufacturing and become a multiplatform publishing giant akin to EA, Ubisoft and Activision-Blizzard. It's comparatively powerful to the Xbox 360 and PS3 and they were last-gen consoles released eight years ago.

It's a bit like the Zeebo. The only reason it remotely succeeded was that it was designed for 'emerging markets' such as India and Brazil and was cheap enough to not be adversely affected by Brazil's taxation of foreign goods for example. Here is Fifa 09 runniing on the Zeebo. Graphically, it looks as dated as Fifa 96. However, when the price of an Xbox 360 or PS3 at the time was so overinflated by hundreds of US dollars due to Brazil's tax regulations, it's not surprising why the Zeebo caught on in Brazil.

Nintendo instead thought it'd be a good idea to release another inferior games console, this time trying to justify an expensive asking price with a touch screen controller gimmick. Tiger Electronics tried the same thing against the Game Boy back in 1997 and it was one of the biggest commercial flops short of the Gizmondo...

Here in Britain, an 8GB Wii-U games console costs £222.99 (on Amazon) and launched for around £250. You could get a 250GB Xbox 360 or PS3 for less than this by the launch date. This is why nobody's buying the Wii-U. Other developers such as Epic Games, Bethesda and EA are acknowledging that the hardware is significantly weaker and that it isn't appealing in business terms to make games for the platform. The only reason the Wii succeeded was that its launch price was about £150 and people genuinely bought into the Wiimote as a 'new, revolutionary way to play your games.'

Now that Nintendo has duped over 100,000,000 customers with the hype of the Wii back in 2006 and actually delivered a console with dire third party support relying on Nintendo themselves drip-feeding it quality titles, why is Satoru Iwata even remotely shocked that the Wii-U isn't selling? Why spend £222.99 on a console with 8GB storage when you could spend ~£350 on a PlayStation 4 or even spend £157 on a 12GB Super Slim PS3
