Out of 19 stores we visited in total, 16 had Wii U Deluxes in stock and every store had Wii U Basics. Many thought that the new console would receive a similar "must-have" Christmas gift status like the Wii, which finding on Christmas Eve, or any day in December in 2006, was nearly impossible.
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
Yea I'm sure they just got a shipment in and just stocked it too. Both Fed-ex and UPS dropped off a shipment of Wii U's while I was at GameStop and I seen them heading across the plaza towards target, Best buy, etc... Nintendo said that they would keep em stocked throughout the holiday and they weren't playing!
They were always in stock where I lived. Its just a matter of looking. Wii u isn't the runaway success many wanted to be.
I know some stores are actually hold them back too. 4 Best Buys in my area said they were unavailable around 7pm last night but they were back in stock this morning. I just did another check and 3 out of the 4 stores are unavailable again for the delux model. My friend at Best Buy told me the supply chain is the best he's seen of any new console. I don't know why people are suggesting that because you can find them, they are not selling. I can find 3ds, xbox360, and ps3 without a problem. I know they are selling.
everyone who complains because they CAN find a wii u in stores is an idiot. Thats the whole point. Nintendo did a good job of keeping up with stock. Get some sense into you dummies
Thats great news that stock is available for customers well done Nintendo getting stock out intime
