(Part 3) Best wii u games, consoles & accessories according to redditors
We found 2,312 Reddit comments discussing the best wii u games, consoles & accessories. We ranked the 379 resulting products by number of redditors who mentioned them. Here are the products ranked 41-60. You can also go back to the previous section.
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:
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.
A quick write up. I'll fix the format in a bit.Game | Console

Well you still can't get a Ness in US packaging off the shelf or for msrp, whereas Lucas you can get for less than the cost of a rotisserie chicken
Donkey Kong, Samus, and Kirby pop up pre owned on gamestop every few times a week and it gets posted here and they get a sold out tag as fast as wave 4 preorders.
For more than that just look at the newly named 'obtainabilty' chart.
Also the only people who were right in thinking amiibo would be worth more than 12.99 was toys r us.
The dark days ended late last year. He's normal price now, more or less. NA ones are a little pricier but unless you're a hardcore in-box collector it doesn't matter where it comes from.
All are $19.99/$15.99 with Prime

Worthwhile games under $20
Wii U:
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (Currently $20 on Amazon via third-party seller) - A solid action game with good online play.
Scribblenauts Unlimited ($17 on Amazon via third-party retailer, inc. shipping) and Unmasked ($18 on Amazon) - A fun little creative toy where you solve puzzles by creating... well, just about anything.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution (Currently $15 on Amazon) - A superb FPS, and the Wii U version is arguably the definitive console version of the game.
Batman: Arkham City: Armored Edition ($11 on BestBuy.com) - The definitive version of one of the best superhero games of all time.
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 ($19 on Amazon) - A good fighting game.
Injustice: Gods Among Us ($14 on BestBuy.com) - A surprisingly good fighting game
Lego Marvel (Currently $20 on Amazon) - One of the better of the LEGO games, and the Wii U gamepad means that co-op play can be done with each player getting their own screen.
Assassin's Creed III (Currently $12 on Amazon via third-party seller, inc. shipping) and Black Flag ($19 on Amazon via third-party retailer, inc. shipping) - They're not really all that much better on the Wii U than other platforms, but if you don't have them yet these are decent entries in the series.
Resident Evil Revelations ($17 on BestBuy.com) - A decent entry in the series.
Wii:
Super Mario Galaxy ($20 on Amazon) - One of the best Mario games ever made, and generally considered to be one of the best videogames of all time.
Resident Evil 4 ($15 on Amazon) - One of the best survival horror games ever made.
Okami ($20 on Amazon) - A Zelda-style game with a beautiful calligraphy style.
Sin & Punishment: Star Successor ($18 on Amazon) - An action-packed shooter
Kirby's Epic Yarn ($14 on Amazon via third-party seller, inc. shipping) - It's so saccharine-cute it'll make your teeth rot, but if you can put up with that, it's an extremely inventive and fun platformer.
No More Heroes ($19 on Amazon) - A fun, very silly, violent action game.
Trauma Center: Second Opinion ($18 on Amazon) - Part surgery sim, part wicked hard arcade game.
De Blob ($18 on Amazon via third-party, inc. shipping) - A fun, inventive platformer where you bounce around to paint the scenery.
MadWorld ($11 on Amazon via third-party, inc. shipping) - A good, hyper-violent action game.
Wii U Nintendo eShop:
Shovel Knight - Old-school platformer goodness, designed like someone took the best parts of your favorite NES games and mashed them all together.
Art of Balance - A puzzle game that has you stacking blocks. It's really well-made.
Guacamelee: Super Turbo Championship Edition - A truly excellent Metroidvania-style game with a killer fighting engine and a fun, silly luchador theme. If you don't already have this on another platform, you need to get it.
Trine 2: Director's Cut - An excellent platform/puzzle game, and the Wii U version is arguably the best because the touchscreen is integrated very well.
WiiWare:
World of Goo - A superb puzzle game where you must construct various structures to get your goo to the exit.
Lost Winds 1 & 2 - Very good platformers that make good use of the Wii remote to make the gameplay interesting.
Bomberman Blast - 8-player online Bomberman. Aww yisssss.
Wii U Virtual Console - Too many good old-school games to list.
Wii Virtual Console - Tons and tons of good old-school games. It's not quite as convenient as the Wii U virtual console, because you have to go into Wii mode to play them and you can't play them with the Wii U gamepad, but the selection on the Wii's Virtual Console is far, far better than on the Wii U, and at the rate Nintendo is adding games to the Wii U Virtual Console, it looks like it'll probably stay that way for a long time. Keep in mind that if Nintendo adds a game to the Wii U Virtual Console that you already have on the Wii Virtual Console, they'll give you a discount on it to entice you to upgrade, so don't hold off just because you're hoping the game you want will come to the Wii U Virtual Console if it's already on the Wii Virtual Console.
Edit: Well, damn. Today Nintendo announced what is kinda' a game-changer - they're releasing Wii games directly for download on the Wii U's eShop for $20 each ($10 each on the week they're first released). The first game, Super Mario Galaxy 2, is out now, and the next two games will be Metroid Prime Trilogy and Punch-Out!!
All three of those games are extremely good, and have been selling for far more than the asking price (Metroid Prime Trilogy was $60-100 used before this news). If you're looking for cheap Wii U games and never got these titles on the Wii, Nintendo has just dropped the gauntlet with a deal you can't refuse.
Unfortunately, Mabel went the opposite direction and she's just under $6 :(
I may have a solution to your problem.
Amazon has AC4 Wii U for $16.49 new
If you are from EU/AU Zavvi has it for $33

the restock was amazon exclusive and amazon.ca has him priced higher than the other restocks... so its there: https://www.amazon.ca/META-KNIGHT-AMIIBO-ACCESSORY-NINTENDO/dp/B00QGBNMW0
or /r/nintendoswapcanada /other second hand markets as your options
$10.57 with free Prime shipping on Amazon.
you can pick up some of the animal crossing ones for only a few dollars
edit: Mabel Amiibo (Animal Crossing Series)
It's always a possibility, but the only one that knows is Nintendo. Mega Yarn Yoshi was released on November 15th, about two months ago. It took Nintendo an entire year to restock Villager, but it finally happened. So it could be restocked soon, or a very long time from now. If you don't want to wait, you can always look into importing him from Australia, United Kingdom, Japan, or Europe.

Amazon ($53 USD with Prime) : http://www.amazon.com/Green-Yarn-Big-Yoshi-Amiibo-Woolly/dp/B016XIA2FK
MSRP: $40 USD. So right now its costing an extra $12~$13 USD due to shipping costs of oversea shipping.

I think it was cheaper on black Friday. Might see if there are any more sales between now and Christmas.

Thank you, Op!!
Ok, so I want to try this, but where the heck is the Live Chat? I went to "Help" and no matter how much I look around, I'm not finding it. There's no good "Topic" option either, so I don't want to send an e-mail that'll make no sense.
Edit:
Ok! So I found it and this is my talk with the guy ( I erased his name):
Me: Hello!
I might be in the wrong topic, but I really wasn't sure where to ask.
I want to buy this item https://www.amazon.ca/META-KNIGHT-AMIIB...(See full link) , but I noticed that the price is way too high, even on "sale". The MSRP is supposed to be 15.99 and since this is from Amazon and not another vendor; I'm really confused? Is this an error? All the other restocked Amiibos this past year from other stores like Best Buy and EB Games all list theirs for 15.99$
Thank you for your time!
You are now connected to - from Amazon.ca
Amazon guy: Hello, my name is -. I'm here to help you today.
Me: Hello!
Amazon guy: Nice to meet you and I hope you are doing well.
Me: Nice to meet you too! I am and I hope you are too!
Amazon guy: I understand your concern regarding the price however the price of the item is decided by the manufacturer or seller of the item and every new stock of the item comes with new price.
The item's price is based on the cost price and selling price which is calculated by the manufacturer, if we see the increase or decrease in the price, it is because of the amount the manufacturer has invested in procuring the raw material and selling it at a reasonable price. So that the manufacturer meets the demand and supply and keep the balance.
Me: That's true, but for all remade Amiibos so far, it's been 15.99 and 21.99 for newer ones from this year.
Amazon guy: please allow me a moment
Me: it doesn't make sense for an older Amiibo to cost more than the newer ones, especially if it's amazon selling them. alright!
Amazon guy: I understand but the price of the item is decided by the manufacturer not by amazon however in this case as you are a valuable customer to us, I'll create an one time exception and issue $10 promotional credit which will automatically apply to the next order sold and shipped by amazon and as I see this item is sold and shipped by amazon
I hope this helps.
Me: thank you very much! I honestly think it's the manufacturer that miscalculated the price then, but I really do appreciate this!
Amazon guy: I've issued $10 promotional balance to your amazon.ca account. It will automatically apply to your next order sold and shipped by amazon.
You can see this promotional balance at checkout page, when you are placing order for item sold and fulfilled by amazon.
I sincerely appreciate your understanding in this and it always a pleasure to have a understanding customer like you. Is there anything else I can assist you with today?
Me: Thank you very much! Nope, that was it! I'll go ahead and buy the Amiibo now, have a great evening!
------
So, I dunno if he checked since op said they were gonna change the price, but either way, I ended up with the 10$, so now should I wait and see if the price actually goes down, or buy it now?
And Tom nook is just over $5:

There's two Star Fox amiibo that are part of the Smash Bros. set: Fox McCloud, and Falco Lombardi.

You can look on Amazon US as well. I've seen a few sellers with decent prices especially if you have prime. 2 nights ago there was a JP villager shipped from the U.S. for $25. Meta Knight is $30 shipped now from the U.S.
If you're able to get them in stores I'd say try there first. If you want to buy imports check on the ones that you want because you may get lucky. Villager is hovering around $60 though so I'd pass in getting him from there. If you can't find them try looking for the alternate names.

I have no doubt that the whole Super Mario series (sans Toad) will be plentiful once they come out. Don't even worry about it.

That very well may be - I was just explaining the point the OP was trying to make.
In fact I'm inclined to agree with you. For example, the Amazon price history of Star Fox Zero shows that Star Fox Zero, a title that was not well received and sold terribly, was being sold for under $35 3 months after release.
It seems that Nintendo titles do get discounted, but only if they sell poorly.

> As long as I can get the actual games for a reasonable price and they aren't over $60, its essentially the same for me.
From that perspective, you are much better off with a Wii U. The benefit of being behind the curve a little bit is that everything has its price reduced. You should look into the NIntendo Selects line of games. These are popular, best sellers that were popular enough to have a second release, but the second time around they only cost $19.99 or less instead of $50 or $60. Not every game is available as a Nintendo Select, but many of the good ones are.
I recently bought a refurbished Wii U that didn't come with any games. Then, I bought Super Mario 3D World for cheap. You mentioned Wind Waker, and it is available as a Nintendo Select. So is Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. I believe that all of these games were originally $50-$60.
I don't think Yoshi's Woolly World is, but it is at least available a little cheaper and with an included Amiibo. I haven't been able to find Mario Kart for very cheap, though.
Your previous comments made it sound like you wouldn’t buy the game at all just because it’s not available digitally, despite the fact that you can still get DKCTF for $30 CAD.. If the price is the only thing keeping you from buying the game, that’s obviously a non-issue.
Amazon - Archer Link
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01N4NTNO2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_qaAHDbHHFHVQN
Back in stock on Amazon for $15.99 for now. They either got more stock or people cancelled orders, etc...

I haven't played W101 yet, but I can vouch there's a night and day difference between AC3 (which was pretty bad IMO) and AC4 which is pretty fun. If you enjoy Wind Waker, I suspect you'll like AC4 and it's $20 this week.
Looks like the low price is $28 for new with prices down under half that for used copies.
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

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.
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.

If you're in the US like me, it may cost you a bit in shipping but it's going to end up FAR less than what he'll go for on eBay.

I couldn't order direct, so I had to use a site for me. I used Japamart to order for me and have it shipped to me.
I don't think they're being discontinued. I ordered a Sheik amiibo off of Amazon that's supposed to come out next month. They do have a Marth amiibo that's a Japanese import, though.
Hope this helps!

As of this post he's 29.99 with prime on amazon

Amazon has him for sale for $38.90

Or if you want to ignore the cost of shipping you can get a Marth for $20.29 on Amazon.
For those that it won't allow to ship to US, try Amazon.de -- That's where I got mine from actually because it wouldn't ship to my US address

I understand how emulators work. What are you trying to say with that argument? Are you saying, "yeah pc's wont preform as well but they have an excuse." because thats what I'm hearing. Just because it has an excuse for running worse, doesn't mean it is as good an experience. And yes, amiibos are not downloadable content, but they are extra content so they function the same way.

> When you corner the market by buying up all the stock in your area, you're manipulating availability to capitalize on demand.
The thing is, anyone is able to do this. Most of the rare amiibo I've acquired I've gotten from just watching online retailers or by keeping an eye on stock trackers and heading over when they're in stock.
Plus, this is significant less relevant than 10-20 years ago, where I would be more inclined to agree with you. Now anyone with a bit of persistence can just sit at home and buy them. Since nearly every online retailer has limited orders to 2-3 of any given amiibo, this levels the playing field significantly.
Anyway, Pit just came in stock on Amazon. Buy one:
