Wow, cant believe I spent £300 just for the premium console 4 months ago

Hey Rajman sorry to hear that it must suck :o btw hmv are often very good on console deals , i got my vita off them , and this is a great price for a wii u tbh.

jimbobwahey4049d ago

I suggest you sell it quick on eBay before the price plummets even more. You could take that cash and buy a much better console with a huge library of great games, or buy a whole bunch of great games for another console you already own.

You're just screwing yourself over by holding on to your Wii U.

caseh4049d ago (Edited 4049d ago )

As much as Jimbobwahaey sounds like hes trolling he actually has a point lol.

Better off flogging the WiiU, enjoy the HUGE library of available games from one of the existing consoles and maybe come back to the WiiU in a years time or possibly bypass it altogether in favour of nextbox/PS4

Why would you tie yourself to a console that has hardly any games available over the PS3/360 choices. Early PS3 adopters made the same mistake, those first 6 months was PAINFUL as far as games were concerned.

Tei7774049d ago

If he bought the wii U for first party games, they are obviously coming and we'll see them all (minus new zelda) at E3. selling the system makes no sense..

THEMIGHTYDOOVDE4049d ago (Edited 4049d ago )

Maybe we should start a partition on Miiverse asking for free games for all of us who have paid top dollar!

Neonridr4050d ago

That's a great deal. I would recommend anyone in the UK to pickup the system with all that included for that price.

Unfortunately they still need more games to ship. As the year progresses I have a feeling more units will go. Some bigger titles are still yet to be released.

jimbobwahey4049d ago

To be honest I'd rather take all that money and spend it on the huge amount of great PS3/360 games releasing throughout the year, rather than the Wii U and one game and uh... well, I dunno, a rehashed GameCube Zelda game to get Nintendo fans through the year?

Given how abysmal the software lineup for the Wii U has been and how Nintendo expects their customers to get by on one worthwhile game per year, anybody that buys a Wii U (even at a discounter price) is being stupid.

I mean I could buy Bioshock Infinite, Gears of War Judgement, God of War Ascension, The Last of Us, Grand Theft Auto V etc... Or I could spend all that money on a Wii U.

Not a hard choice, is it?

Gemmol4049d ago

I would go with a Wii U if those the games you naming to pull someone to a system, do not get me wrong those games sell, but its not even my cup of tea, and why you hate Wii U so much, we have 3 systems to have different experience, yes they may share the same games at times, but Wii U have a different way of playing it make games feel a little less of the same, even though it is the same. Every system takes time to get better, if you do not like Wii U stay away from Wii U news section, its either you lonely or want more people to play with, if that is the case, I am sure there is a lot of playstation and 360 fans on here, how much more people you need on your friend list? I had a ps3 for last gen and I plan to buy ps4 too, but until then my ps3 and Wii U will keep me busy, I have no hate or complaints for either console

NBT914049d ago

it's worth keeping for the decent exclusives. Multiplats either don't release on it or are lesser versions, though.
For this price I'd say its worth it, can't quite justify launch price yet though...

Root4049d ago

Still not sure...

If Nintendo wern't stupid and released Luigis Mansion on the 3DS but on the Wii U instead then I would of bought one

Just going to wait untill Mario Kart or Super Smash Bros

theEx1Le4049d ago

To be fair, HMV is on its last breath. Take this offer while you can, even if it is to sell on for profit :).

Summons754049d ago

It's still possible that team is working on a secret wiiu project maybe a proper luigis mansion 2

GamerEuphoria4049d ago

HMV are cutting prices on everything given it's going under. Don't expect this to be a blanket price drop. On the plus side...Zombi U and Monster hunter...go go go

Wii U games that still haven't been ported to Switch

The Nintendo Switch is potentially nearing its lifespan, and several Wii U games haven't found their way over as ports yet.

I think it's better to leave games like AC: Amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash forgotten on the Wii U. Best case, they are mediocre games; worse case, they are very bad. It was a dark time for the Wii U, and the first only exists to sell Amiibo cards, whereas the second was put together in a couple of months with a shoestring budget, and it shows.

The rest of the list does have some really cool games, though. I would love to see a remake of Star Fox Zero with decent controls, and Xenoblade X doesn't require that much modification to work.

Z5012d ago

How would XCX work without dual screens functionality?

Cacabunga2d ago

Same as Paper Mario color splash. One of the best wiiu games and getting even better with dual screen. Same reason why i prefer Splatoon 1

Profchaos2d ago

This article leaves out Nintendo's most controversial game to date devils Third.
I personally found the cover system really fun in that one compared to at the time most fps games completely lacking one.

Stevonidas1d 23h ago

Devil's Third is HIGHLY underrated.

repsahj1d 22h ago

They should remake Starfox to the switch 2. Very beautiful game during gamecube days.

Chocoburger1d 18h ago

Kirby is always ignored or forgotten by people, so good to see it mentioned here.
Play Kirby Canvas Curse on DS, and then play Rainbow Curse on Wii U, they're really fun and unique 'platformers' without any actual jumping.
