An anonymous tipster just sent in this picture they took of the current price for the Wii U as it is right now in Best Buy's computer system. The tipster went on to say that the console is not available for pre-order yet, but some games already have pre-order SKUs.

U know what this means! Wii U has a great price just for U! Around this holiday season, many of Us are going to fall in love with Wii U and it's beaUtiful price!

I reckon that they could keep it this low because it is rumored to have only 8GB of internal storage memory.

I woUld stop, as long as U continU

good thing, its not 600.00 as ps3 launch. wii was 250
wii-U should been 249.99 ... 300.00 not bad either.

If Sony and MS didn't take a loss every generation console gaming would be half dead.

Everyone wants a gtx 660 - 680 level gpu in ps4 and 720 Even developers are pushing them!

But everyone wants a $299 or lower price tag.
When $500 - $600 for that would be a steal!

PC hardware is moving so damn fast. Faster than before.(Kepler is the current gpu today)

If ps4 and 720 are way more powerful while wiiU and wiiU is $299?

Then Sony and MS will have to price it higher or take a hell of a loss again. And I am sure they don't want to take that chance every generation.

If it's the true price, then I'll pick one up just as soon as I see some Zelda, Smash Bros., Zombie U, and a few more interesting exclusive games.

WeskerChildReborned4331d ago

Yea it seem's like an okay price but still not sure if this is true since Walmart listed it $350 but hoping $299 will be the price and if it is, i won't hesitate to pick one up.

avengers19784330d ago

and in all reality no way Best Buy has a Lower Price than Wal-Mart... as far as I know Nintendo did not say what the price or release date would be.

Venoxn4g4331d ago

I hope that this is a real price

xtremexx4331d ago

how the hell would they keep it that low?

wiggles4330d ago

I agree, it's great wishful thinking but there is no way it will come out at that price point. If it does, I may be worried about the quality of the system. It seems to good to be true.

xtremexx4330d ago

either its $299 for the console and 1 tablet, then 1 more tablet is $500 XD

Someone mentioned a possibility of 8gigs of space.

Looking Ahead: The Lingering Questions About the Next Mario Kart

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.

gold_drake6d ago

there wont be a new one until the switch 2 comes out.

nintendo needs their bangers early on
