It's not worth it
209.99
10 quid more than yesterday's deal, with a lower end model and lesser games (2 Minigame collections and what is probably only an afternoon's minor diversion for tweenagers).
Only plus point is the free Motion+ WiiMote with Wii Party U

Agreed.

I'd either wait for another lightning deal or if you dont need / want it prexmas I'd wait for the new year when I reckon they'll come up in the sales for roughly the same as black friday deals.

I thought it would go for £199 and if they wanted to get it moving they should have pitched it at £180.

The price listed equates to €250, so you'd be better off buying the Premium pack from Argos.

Banjo

One point worth noting is that the 8GB model was discontinued, so it's now "limited edition" and might be worth something in the future!

Just like this copy of N64 Conker would be if I hadn't thrown out the box

I had a mint box but it got chucked along with the rest of my N64 boxes. My copy still managed to sell for silly money

Banjo

Lego City Undercover Wii U pack for £199. It's not even a lightning deal!
Definitely more worthwhile than the 8GB pack above, unless you know someone who will buy the 3 crap games off you and swap them for a WiiMote and Mario 3D World

BTW, if you're that way inclined, Just Dance 4 (not 2014) is about £13 on there too

I got it free with my Wii U last week. I'm not sure it's worth buying. Has a few interesting ideas but not enough to keep me coming back.

So I am tempted to get ZombiU too, had it at launch, didnt think it was worth the price at the time (€50 or so) and sold it on, but if its gonna be €9.99 on the 26th I might double dip, hope loads of people buy it and Ubisoft see good sales and make a better sequel since they said there wouldnt be a sequel due to bad sales. Gonna get Ducktales, Resy and Cloudberry Kingdom too.


One thing though, I REALLY dont understand how this digital deluxe thing works, can someone explain it to me and how I go about setting it all up? Thanks

If you've got a WiiU Premium you get about 8% back from purchases in points, once you hit 500 points on the website you can cash it in for a €5 eShop code.
Just log into https://p.nintendo.net/deluxe with your Nintendo ID and it'll show all your purchases and how many points you've got so far.

Think ill be buyin zombie u and ducktails at those prices. More games and sooooo little time!!

CastorTroy

Strange how they have prices for some and percentages for others.

Thanks for that, had a look on the site and sure enough, I have a €5 voucher thing waiting for me there from everything I got over the past year, nice one!

Wonder what price SMB3 will be on sale on the 26th too.

deadl0ck

Ha - me too - I had 5 yo-yo code I didn't know about either !

Ol' Donie

Had no interest in Rayman legends till i had a shot of it in a shop the other day. I'm sure i could find twenty big for it over the next few weeks. Nice one!

Assassin's Creed - Black Flag £22.49 on Amazon
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Assassins-Creed-IV-Black-Nintendo/dp/B00BMRR65W/ref=lh_ni_t?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

Also Deus Ex down to a lightning-deal-esque £14.99
Ninja Gaidan £14.99
Splinter Cell Blacklist £18.50
Assassins Creed 3 £13.43
Lego LotR 3DS on £12.99
and the Walking Dead big compendiums back down to £23


Edit 20/12 :
Black Flag is out of stock today but still orderable at that price (2-4 weeks delivery)
Ninja Gaidan has jumped up to £25
To compensate, Assassin's Creed 3 has dropped to what I believe is an all-time low of £10, putting it on par with Ubi's eShop deal a few weeks ago

nitromaster

Rayman Legends is available for just under €18 delivered on Zavvi:
http://www.zavvi.com/games-wii-u/rayman-legends-wii-u/10616873.html?vwo_ppr=ZV3870280
(use the discount code "ZV3870280" to make it €17.81 if that link doesn't auto apply it, seems to be for first time orders only)

Even cheaper than the eShop deal that's starting on the 26th! :P

Banjo

My Amazon basket watching obsession continues :
Injustice down to £13
ArkhAm asylum £10
Resi Revelations £17
32gb nintendoland premium pack £220 But can't shake the feeling the 199 deals will be back on the 26th

Wii U with Super Mario Brothers U and Super Luigi U is 279.99 in argos at the moment.

I've given the wife enough hints at this point, and she's told me I'll enjoy my present this year. It better be a Wii U or it's divorce town!

In my defence I'm feeding the baby and have 10 minutes to kill (not to mention a voucher to spend)

£199. 99 32gb nintendoland bundle is back on Amazon
Also Pikmin is £28 and wonderful 101 is £30

What sale, where?

I didn't get a Wii U for Xmas, so my divorce papers will be filed on Friday. I'm January sales searching now!

its the sale on the eShop.

In the Gamestop sale you can get:



Three for €20 (or one for €9)

• Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2013
• The Avengers Battle for Earth
• Disney Epic Mickey 2 (snigger)

Two for €30. (or one for €20)

• Resident Evil Revelations
• Just Dance 4
• Fifa 13
• Splinter Cell:Blacklist
• Rayman Legends
• Tank! Tank! Tank!
• Assassins Creed 3,

Two for €50 (or one for €30)

• Pikmin 3
• Super Luigi U
• Fast & Furious Showdown
• Angry Birds Trilogy

If you have another console, you might be able to max and match something better out of the 3 for €20 category. I see nothing in it for me.

Two for 30 isn't bad. And the Pikmin price (even on its own) is better than amazon.
