How can you refuse this?

Link

MK8 is coming out. Get this MK8 and scoop up another game for free ($260 USD + tax). Even comes with a warranty.

Do yourself a favor. Pick one up. You can still pretend to hate the wii U on SW.

No time for it.

That's a damn good deal for those interested in a Wii U, but I can totally understand why someone might still be apprehensive about buying one if the rest of the library doesn't appeal to them.

Here's hoping Nintendo has one hell of an E3.

/Thread

Nah seriously, I have no time for it either. I can barely keep up with my PC, PS4, Xbox One and PS3 (had a 360 near launch too, but recently sold it).

Refurbished? Never.

Comes with a warranty. Sorry about your PSN account btw.

Seriously, you could post a little less on SW. ;)

@inb4uall: I probably should

And with that time..... :D

Already have one

I want a wii u, but i don't want the shitty gamepad

So use a pro controller. Only settings requires a gamepad.

i'll pick it up when the three games they hyped up a long time ago releases: Xenogame, bayonetta, and zelda.

Don't want to spend the extra $$$ on a controller that i don't want nor use.

I'll only get a wii u when they make a bundle with no tablet.

Already own a WiiU and not interested in MK8 at all.

Easy, WiiU has been out for nearly 2 years and it's still missing out on grand titles.

Titles like Tomb Raider, Bioshock Infinite, Crysis 3, Saints Row IV, South Park the Stick of Truth, Farcry 3, Farcry 4(NEW), Skyrim Legendary Edition, DMC Devil May Cry, Alien Isolation, Walking Dead Season 1 & 2, Batman Arkham Knight, Minecraft, and the list goes on and on.

Oh sure if you're wanting titles that are out for WiiU like Wonderful 101, Pikmin 3, Donkey Tropical Freeze, and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and want the up coming Mario Kart 8 and Smash Bros. then sure go for it, but you'll be missing out on a lot more than Nintendo 1st Party/3rd Party Exclusives if you go WiiU.

lol Wii U is dying, JohnLewis.com in the UK were today selling Wii U's for £112 which is down from £235.

a sign that they just could not sell any of them and needed shut, goodbye Wii U

All we want is life beyond the thunderdome.

i have no use for children's toys

There are other games on the PiiU?

@inb4uall: I guess it's an age thing. When you typed MK8, you were talking about Mario Kart 8. When I see "MK", I think "Mortal Kombat".

$260 just to play some mini game racer?

ya... not happing. sure mario cart is cool but not that big

I sadly already have a WiiU.

Thus why you get a Wii U and a PC so you can truly have the best combination.

Meaning... never?

@TwistedShade: Yeah, but that's still hiding behind another System. PS4 and Xbox One and heck even PS3 and Xbox 360 you can go stand alone.

WiiU is crippled and apparently needs support from another system and that's sad.

John Lewis were clearing stock of the Wii U + NSMB for £112 today, but I missed it. It's sold out now.

Mario kart got old after the gamecube version.... not even remotely interested...

Smash bros... yes... a zelda or mario ... "ok" .... but sadly, not £250 ok....

WHAT? where did you see that? link?

I wish I had of known about it earlier.

same... I phoned up to see if there were any in stores (because their stock system is seperate) but no luck :( ....

LOL WiiU

I can refuse it because I have a Wii, PS3 and PS4 hooked up to my TV. For the most part, my Wii has been a Netflix box for the last four years. I'm happy with my PlayStation products so buying a WiiU would be spending $260 that I don't have right now.

No thanks

I'm assuming that you would be buying it in addition to something else. Almost everyone on this board has more than one gaming device.

You must feel so cool and mature.

@inb4uall: I don't see anything about that in your link.

***************************************************************

I didn't even see that. That's a serious "No, no." right there.

Ok, thread can be locked now.

About what? About the $260 USD?

Nintendo is offering refurbished wii U's for $200.

There is an existing deal that everyone knows about where if you buy MK8 and register it on club nintendo you get WW HD, Pikmn 3, Wii Party U, or one other game which I forgot.

MK8 = $60 USD. $200 + $60 = $260.

I also forgot to mention in the OP that you get nintendo land along with the wii U. so you're getting 3 games for $260.

John Lewis looks like a Sears store here in America. They rarely carried much video game consoles or games. WalMart would have a biggest section for it. These type of stores usually do abandon ship quickly when stock doesn't move.

****************************************************************************

Ok, I wasn't aware of that MK8 deal. I thought it would explain everything in the link you provided.

Just a lighthearted response, man. No need to get all defensive.

thats a refurbished, EWW. I never ever ever buy refurbished anything.

Sorry just tired of the " nintendo is for the kiddies excuse when it's obviously not true."

It's easy to refuse a deal if you're just not interested in it (like this one for example).

This. Non-Issue for me.

@lostrib: Then make time. That's a lame excuse. You have time to hang around here in Gamespot.

do you have any idea how long Western Blots take?

@inb4uall: I am, regardless of what I have been saying I have a PC for most of my multiplats and I'm still rocking the 360 and PS3. But it doesn't excuse the weak lineups the WiiU has been getting.

i think it's too expensive and has too few games

That's weak.. You need to get your temptations in check OP
