Only a few days from the Wii U‘s US launch date and already it could be tough to buy one if you didn’t pre-order. Scott Moffitt, executive vice president of sales and marketing of Nintendo of America has stated that the higher priced deluxe version of the Wii U has been selling particularly well. Despite concerns of hardware pricing being too high Moffitt has deemed that the consumer demand has been reflecting that the units are, in fact priced right.

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.
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
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.

Sure buddy... You're trying to tell me it has a deeper story than goat 🐐 simulator 4000?!?!?. I wanna give bg3 a shot but my brain is burnt out on long games
How many Wii u's means it's selling out.
I wonder if Nintendo Land is the reasoning or not. I mean in reality, because Nintendo Land comes in a real game case, people could buy the deluxe bundle and then return Nintendo Land separately making it $10 cheaper than the basic set for all of the stands and the online discount, plus the much needed storage. I'm getting the Basic Version anyway because I don't see the point in the hassle but I have a feeling others are willing to do that.
The retailer down the road from us only has one pre-order thus far.
It seems that Nintendo has struck gold once more with the Nintendo Wii U entertainment system. From the many positive articles including this one, the Nintendo product line looks to have many lucrative years ahead of it. I am happy to see many returning Elite supporters putting their trust in Nintendo gaming once again. The better the sales, the likeliness of more third party dev support for our future investment. Launching first with an innovative quality product will play a large part in boosting the official install base, and gain momentum going into 2013. Leaving its mark within the industry before competition arrives.
The pricing seems to be just right to win over the hard earned dollars of the consumer. I had always thought that hovering around the $300 dollar range for a home console launch was just right. Nintendo seems to have had the same thought. A likely rewarding business strategy. The beginning of the long awaited much anticipated next generation of gaming is only 4 days away. It could not have come at a greater time.
