For a limited time, Best Buy is selling the Wii U Basic Set – that is, the bundle with 8GB and without Nintendo Land, for a reduced price. Until April 1st, you can grab the Wii U Basic Set from the American retailer for $249.99, which is $50 off its regular price of $299.99. When the Wii was first released, it also costed $249.99, so this deal from Best Buy is totally worth it, especially considering the fact that all Wii U consoles play Wii games… Will you be picking one up?
That’s actually not a bad deal
Best buy is also having many good games on sale for the big spring doorbustes. on Friday and Saturday. You can get darksider 2 wiiu for $19.99. Ninja gaiden 3: razor’s edge for $29.99. And many more.
Nice! But I already own one so I’m good :)
Maybe this is the beginning of a price cut?
Make it a delux at $300 and that’s a great Deal :)
Cool. I think I’ll buy another Wii U to add to my large collection instead of paying my electricity bill this month.
The basic set always gettin deals, I want the deluxe.
Still a huge waste of money.
just like ps360 no games besides aaa trashware
It doesn’t matter how cheap it is if it doesn’t have a large library of games,Most people wont buy it and Nintendo is already selling at a loss.
It hasn’t even been 6 months, Cutting the Price WON’T solve the Problem,Bringing out More games will,Which Nintendo is working hard on doing.People Just have to be PATIENT like with the 3DS. I’m sure we’ll get a lot of games sooner than we think.
God why i have to be poor? :(

A month ago (tax return) I would’ve jumped all over this ;,(
We’ll see if a price cut will have any effect on sales or is Nintendo right on the money regarding the need for price cut. IMHO if they just release SOME GAMES they should start seeing the consoles sales pick up!!! Seriously, I don’t understand Nintendo!!! It’s been nearly 2-3 months (before LC:U) since they had any significant game released. Rayman: Legends really screwed them up by going multi-plat and delaying the game; leaving Feb2013 barren of new releases.
I misread WiiU will be $50
XD
The price is FINE… thing is: games! we need games! U_U’
What I’d REALLY Like is a Wii Mini!!
:D
:-)
:-/
>:-(
Kidding. I havea Gamecube and a Reg Wii.
No need for the little Red Box.
Instead of cutting the price of each model by $50 I think Nintendo should make the deals sweeter. Put Nintendo Land in the Basic set and put both NSMBU and Mario Kart U in the Deluxe. Sales would increase exponentially.
This semi-drought must be really tough, but If Nintendo’s doin’ what I think they’re doin’, its gonna be war when the PS4 comes out. And Sony will be out-gunned in every sense of the word.
If not, I’d be pretty surprised and disappointed. But I’m not so short-sighted that I’d start thinking Nintendo’s doomed.
Those kind of ‘I’m-so desperate-to-get-a-rise-out-of-fanboys’ statements I treat like Pachter click-bait: I steer clear.
My ‘Launch 2’ prediction, if true, would probably anger early adopters of the Wii U. But it was probably seen as Nintendo’s best chance to combat the copy- I mean, competition. Flood the U with at least 5 AAA IPs and drop the price. 3rd parties had their fun at
‘Launch 1’. E3 2013 and ‘Launch 2’ will be Nintendo’s.
^Too much?
*Shrugs and goes back to YouTube*
not interested in the Wii U at all, but love my 3DS
Why not slash the price on the deluxe set? wtf nintendo. no one wants the basic
It was bestbuy that cut the price, not nintendo. dur. bla bla bla.
Honestly if it were to buy it again i would consider the basic cause nin land doesnt seem to have lasting appeal for me.
woa, much cheaper than the game which cost $60 O.o

Deals like this always come at the worst possible times. I already borrowed the money from my brother for the Pikachu 3DS XL. I’ll have to wait about the Wii U.
I’m not going to buy the wii u until I am garuntee a good experience. Without a dynamic online infrastructure and with those slow load times( slow CPU) it doesn’t matter how low the price is.
I’m still not buying until these two issues are resolved because the current games on the wii u are nothing new.
mentira hay en dia esta a 299 en best buy y aun no es 1 de abril
when i called my local best buy store the clerk said this was false as they are not doing this! :(
