Wii U 274.99 at Target

i'd wait til e3 in june to see if the new one is announced (maybe with backwards compat)
 
How is that a deal? a console that launched in the US November 2012? consoles, lol.
 
Well its cheaper then the current price of 299 I haven't seen it cheaper then that.
 
It's a fine console, we enjoy ours. Just the game selection is very "childish". About the most fun I've had on it is the game Splatoon. I personally like the LCD controller. It's pretty cool.

It's not worth $300 bucks though (when you put tax in).

Yeah, I was hoping to pick one up closer to $200 or less...kind of amazed they are still close to $300. The fucking launch price was $300 with the Premium version being $350, so it's dropped only like $50 since release? Crazy.

Yea. I want one. But, I only want a few games for it. I can't validate a $300 console when I'm buying 10 or so games.

If I could find a new one for $150 or so, I'd grab one in a heartbeat. Hopefully, with NX coming up the price will fall a bit. $200, I'd probably get one, but I wouldn't get one today. Probably wait a few weeks. At $150, I'd get one tonight.
 
That just leaves everyone wondering if it's worth buying a Wii U and getting a potentially inferior version of Zelda, or waiting until the NX releases.
 
If the NX is backwards compatible, I won't have to worry about the Wii U. I'll get one eventually, but I'll wait for them to be $20 at the Goodwill or something.

Mario Kart was fun, the Mario Bros. on there are pretty fun. A few other games, but nothing that screams "BUY ME!".
 
I'd love to play Pikmin 3 and the new Smash Bros, as well as Mario and Mario Kart. But not at this price.
 
No kidding, my kids love Smash Bros and Mario Kart - and I like playing it with them - but I just can't justify the price tag for so few games worth buying. At least our Xbox one couples as a media device and has other games worth playing.
 
I will not buy one until it's under $200 brand new.

And this is coming from a pretty huge Nintendo fan...
 
Ought to try splatoon. It's like a multiplayer pain gun game, but you also try to cover ground with your team color. It's a blast.

Yeah same. That price bundled with some decent games. Nintendo just doesn't have many games for more serious gamers. It's very family oriented.

This is an important point. Nintendo's messaging on what the Wii U was and how to use it have been abysmal. This also applies to the 3DS / 3DS XL / New 3DS / 2DS situation. Some 3DS games says "Works on 2DS" and others don't. Now a small number of games only work on the New 3DS.

My sister has three kids and multiple Nintendo handhelds and this shit confusing the heck out of her since she barely understand technology. Also she didn't initially buy a Wii U because she thought it was a handheld add on and he kids already had a Wii and handhelds. Then she got a Wii U and donated her Wii to charity before figuring out that she needed Wiimotes for certain games (she initially bought a Pro Controller or a Classic Controller for the U). Oh and then some games need the Wiimote Nunchucks and others don't. And of course she had bought the Wii U with only 8GB storage which led to more issues until she got a SD card (which led to her looking for a Nintendo SD card which Nintendo doesn't actually make). For being a game company with a younger focus, they haven't made an easy ecosystem for people to understand. All this causes Wii U consoles to go underutilized and frustrate parents.

Meanwhile my brother in law picked up a PS4 and one extra controller and they can go crazy with that and never have to consult a spreadsheet to see what they need to play games. You know, because it works and is simple, like Nintendo used to be.

For the NX I think they need to quit fucking around and just make one console with one controller. Stop worrying about shit like allowing GameCube controllers to work on the system or confusing people with four controllers in the store.

Funny I've been thinking the same thing. Not really under 200 but around 200 would be more like it. Mainly for mario kart and mario maker
 
Just wanted to annoy Wii Haters and pop this thread back to top. But really, deal is dead. But not much of a deal to start with for a discontinued console :)
