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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
