On November 20th SPOnG found itself appalled at Toys 'R' Us for taking advantage of Wii shortages and forcing punters to fork out £300 on poor bundles. This reaction does not come close to the sheer horror we feel having recently discovered the 'Ultimate Nintendo Wii Console Pack' from Mobile Fun will cost you £319.95.
"So what", you're wondering, "do I get for my £319.95? Surely there must be some great games?"
Nintendo has announced the SNES and Super Famicom games gracing the Nintendo Switch Online library this month, and there are some gems to enjoy.
Strange headline, as I thought the star of the show was Super RType. I almost bought RType Dimensions EX this last month and was just thinking, man I wish we had the SNES one somewhere on Switch. That's where I got my start w the series and I was beyond excited to see it drop this week!
Following the Wii U and 3DS servers being taken offline, Call of Duty Black Ops 2 and Ghosts are officially dead.
Call of Duty players are jumping into Black Ops 2 for the final time before its Wii U servers go offline for good.

It's still better than the $700 and $1000 deals that some people have paid for.
Throw Anubis 2 into that sucker!!
Here in the UK, Dixons (when they have the Wii in stock) are punting it off with a PSP. Yes, that's right, the marketing brains at Dixons have decided to combine Nintendo's console and Sony's handheld, rather than a DS, which would, lets face it, make a whole lot more sense.
The entire package is a Wii plus three games (Mario & Sonic at the Olympics, Mercury Meltdown Revolution and The Golden Compass) plus a bright pink PSP.
Presumably Sony is paying Dixons a fair amount to create this package, hocking off the unsold pink PSPs.
And the price for this uberpackage? £450 = $900.
They have even more expensive packages that come with another game, or instead of a PSP, you get a 20" TV.
It sickens me that retailers are the biggest bunch of bastards, and in this list I include Dixons, Game, Littlewoods, and the worst one is perhaps SimplyGames, who are charging £360 for the standard package and one(!!!) game. I hope in the coming months these people go under, or have a good many of their stores firebombed.
I thankfully got mine from Amazon at the standard price of £180. The original and still the best online retailer.
the worst thing is that it comes with a wii
