Wii U Price Slashed on Amazon

GR said, "The Wii U just isn’t flying off the selves like Nintendo had hoped. It felt like only a few months after the launch of the original Wii that everyone and their great grandmother was enjoying the innovative action of Wii Sports and other popular, motion-based titles. That isn’t the case with the dual-screen, HD console, and it looks as if Amazon has slashed the price in order to excite the world about a Nintendo product once again."

I'm sorry but how is knocking of $20 from the basic package and now making it $279 instead of $299 SLASHING the price??!!

That's not SLASHING anything, it's basically knocking off the tax that would have been paid.

raWfodog4760d ago

That's a coupon savings. I was thinking that they knocked off $100-$150 or something.

Delaware ftw! No taxes here...I would pick up the Wii U but unfortunately all that's available on it is Monster Hunter, ZombieU, and New Super Mario bros...I think it's probably the smart move to wait a year, when it'll be around 200 maybe even cheaper and it'll have more exclusives available.

I moved from Wilmington DE to Palm Beach FL. Best decision in my life.

Oh_Yeah4758d ago (Edited 4758d ago )

@neogeo that's great I'm from Wilmington, I have family out in Deerfield Beach down there...it's nice and all but I like my cold weather man.

Donnieboi4760d ago

Only $20 off? At least toss in a game. Even a old Wii 1 game would be welcome since Wii U could play Wii games.

kneon4760d ago

$20? That's less than 7% off, not exactly slashing the price are they.

MilkMan4760d ago

This article is a little misleading.
10% off the white WiiU console? Nobody I know even considered that model. They all buy black.

I was all ready to buy a few cause the price was "SLASHED" and I see a picture of the black deluxe set on the article.

I think its more a piece to get hits. You know, "Let's hate on WiiU Day"

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS42d ago (Edited 42d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi67d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure67d ago (Edited 67d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer68d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot68d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box67d ago (Edited 67d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno68d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay68d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno66d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK67d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
