Techtorial: Wii U is now out-of-stock on most online retailers across United States. Unfortunately, it also means its price now is inflated to as much as 50%. Here's another option for eager customers.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
A new list goes over eight of the the most useless amiibo, ranging from the Shadow Mewtwo card to the Qbby figure.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "10 years. It’s been almost 10 years since the last mainline release in the Mario Kart series. Mario Kart 8 came out for the Wii U in 2014 and became the best-selling game for the system by a sizeable margin, and later pulled the same magic trick on the Nintendo Switch under the stage name Deluxe. All in all, it's sold nearly 70 million copies over the last decade and is still selling like hot cakes to this day, so it’s no wonder Nintendo has been in no rush to replace it. However, with rumors of a new system being just around the corner, and reports a few years back that a new Mario Kart is indeed under way, it seems the era of 8 might very well be drawing to a close. It’s an exciting prospect to be sure, but after two Nintendo systems with Mario Kart 8 at their heart, a lot of questions remain about how Nintendo will choose to follow it up."
I hope they just keep building on Mario Kart 8; Add a track-creation tool, and probably open it up to more Nintendo IPs with new tracks and characters, so Metroid, Punch Out, Starfox, Animal Crossing, etc etc.
there wont be a new one until the switch 2 comes out.
nintendo needs their bangers early on
option for parents..dont buy this at inflated price just wait for couple of months your kids wont miss it and you can teach your kids to save up and ask tasks, so by the time they save up wii u would be available as a price for them
I see plenty on ebay selling for about $500, and that's for the deluxe version and with shipping. with ebay/paypal fees eating about $60-$70, flippers are not really making much profit here.
It kind of seems like Nintendo is deliberately withholding stock like they did with the Wii. Most of the places I've called claimed that they're not going to be receiving more systems until mid-December, which is actually a pretty crazy turn-around time.
What is this their first console launch? prices are always inflated online after new consoles launch.
After all the times Best Buy has said they've had a product online, then sent me an e-mail within a day or two saying they didn't actually have it, I won't order from them anymore. Best Buy Business says they have Wii U's... somehow I doubt they'd fulfill the order.
