Wii U Is One Of The Winners Of Black Friday & Cyber Monday “Deals Awards” For Kid’s

Rainbow Loom, Lego, and Wii U are the winners of the Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2013 “Deals Awards” for kid’s toys and gifts. Announced today by the Cyber Week Awards, the first, second, and third place winners were selected based on the pricing and available deals on this holiday shopping season’s most popular kid’s toys and gifts. Several other toys, such as Skylanders Swap Force and Barbie, are also included on a secondary list of products that received an “honorable mention.”

The Wii U, when compared to the PS4 (“Playstation 4”) and the Xbox One, may not seem to be the most popular toy this holiday season. However, the Wii U is a clear winner for younger kids interested in video games. It offers more interaction for children and has many more games tailored to a younger audience. For example, the toy-based video games appearing on the honourable mentions list, Disney Infinity and Skylanders Swap Force, are very popular among youngsters at the moment. Additionally, the Wii U is less expensive than the PS4 and the Xbox One. For these reasons, the Wii U earned the third place award.

    1. Should i see this as a good thing?wii u a kids console, well nintendo that shouldn’t be what people call your console, fuck you and that shit, make a mature zelda, metroid and fire emblem, and mario, donkey kong and kirby… as they were, this is retarded

      1. Zelda: Twilight Princess
        Metroid: Prime trilogy
        Fire Emblem: The whole series (especially awakening)
        Mario: ?
        DK: ?
        Kirby: ?!?!?!?!

  1. Just ordered F-Zero GX, Fire Emblem Path of Radiance, and Metroid Prime 2. Never got those games on the gcn when I was younger. Can’t wait.

      1. Just need 2 and 3. I don’t want to get the trilogy because I already have the 1st one. It’s still great to this day. Hoping for a new Metroid on the Wii U next. Hopefully Metroid Prime 4?

        1. I think they should do something new with the franchise. Meaning maybe bring in a new type of Metroid or something never before seen. While I like the series, the franchise is in need of something new.

          1. Yep I would advocate for something new too. Maybe changing up the gameplay a little bit like what they are supposedly doing with the new Zelda U title coming out. However, it would also be great if they released a sequel to prime, as that series was amazing. I just want Metroid on the Wii U already. Or Starfox, F-Zero, Kid Icarus, Kirby, Mother. Or imagine a 3D Iceclimbers where all the worlds were glistening with snow and ice. You’d be climbing tall, beautiful mountains with the faint light of stars and aurorae in the background. Iceclimber, even though they only had one game, should have a comeback. Sort of like how Kid Icarus said, “Sorry to keep you waiting”, The Iceclimbers should do the same. Nintendo has so many dormant ips that I would like to see come back, including Waverace. A pokemon spinoff like Colosseum or XD are welcomed as well.

  2. Excellent!

    Haters = Wii u is a kiddy console and so on.

    I say, let the kids enjoy fun and good games and so will I with the Wii u. A console being more kid friendly does not make it a bad console. It makes it an important one.

    As for most of us it was Nintendo that got us into gaming in the first place. And it still will be the reason for many kids to get into gaming yet today.

    1. Yup ! Right on my little girl loves to watch/play mario on the wii u . its a kid friendly console but also have lots of hardcore games like Zelda Metroid W101 Xenoblade ….

      1. Yeah, talking about games that didn’t even come out yet makes sense, you fucking imbecile, don’t even count the games that are not out

    2. Ugh, I hate that word when so called hardcores say it…makes them seem so unprofessional man. Tells me they are wanna be hardcore gamers. JUST PISSES ME OFF! But your argument is solid…then they can’t say they didn’t play Mario at least once in their life because if they say they didn’t then their lying. My little nephew is growing up play Nintendo wii u and xbox 360.

      So high five Gaute…you made a good solid point.

      1. I agree about “hardcore” gaming. Super Mario bros lost levels “US” is harder than anything they give the term “hardcore” for the xbox. Most of them anyways give you a predetermined location.

          1. Oh here we go, this guy knows it well…this is the term “hardcore” on ONE game to ever exist…to those who know what gaming is all about by playing multi systems should KNOW how hard it is to beat Super Mario Bros. Lost levels aka Super Mario Bros. 2 JAPAN. Its down right impossible until you know all the kinks in it, like what to expect next. Its actually equal to Ghost and goblins and Battle toads.

    3. Yes it does, i don’t know what nintendo console you grew up with, but in snes, nes and somewhat in n64 days nintendo was a console with every genre of games, for kids and adults, 3rd party and 1st party, it was a golden age of nintendo, i’m not saying i want nintendo to stop making mario, dk, kirby games, but give me something mature, god fucking dammit

  3. first they say wii u is a horrible gift this holiday now this? make up your minds and i know cnn or cbn or wtf they are called said wii u is a worst holiday gift. i know xbone is the #1 worst holiday gift, why? rich from RTUSA had to return 2 xbones (he had problems with the first and go a second one and still had problems, hence why he returned them).

  4. Hopefully this will mean that sales will pick up but I really wish the Wii U would gain a larger dedicated install base that will support the third party titles that come to Wii U. The time for that may have passed though.

    1. Its what it is. Nintendo enthusiasts and children are what the wii u install base is until it gets the real proper 3d mario, smash bros but for some reason I believe mario kart 8 will be the best seller. If that doesn’t increase sales like crazy wildfire nothing will.

    2. There are more “Kid gamers” then adult gamers though. Although most kid gamers are casual Ipad players and COD brats…

        1. thats worse than wii u. even if they don’t treat there fabbase like babies and actually get games. i would have to be a fucking retard to buy that all in one rip off.

  5. Could it be? There are still some kids out there that haven’t been corrupted with COD and actually want to grow up playing Nintendo? If so a small amount of my faith in humanity is restored.

  6. NINTY NEWS WHY U HAVENT REPORTED HOW SM3DW SOLD 243K COPIES AND JUST ONE DAY???? YET U POSTED HOW BAD IT SOLD IN JAPAN?????

    243K PLUS 25% 30% ?? DIGITAL SALES. THATS IMPRESSIVE. AND WII U SOLD 110K CONSOLES IN A WEEK.

    1. Because It’S positive news. So the media is in no rush to announce it. Yet they rather make lies trying to make it seem 3D Mario didn’t sell BT comparing SM64 global sales to 3D Works Japan sales

    2. My games…Zelda WWHD, WiiU party, DKCR3ds, Starfox3ds, two DS games for my niece- cooking mamma3 Tinker adv,…I aslo bought the Metriod Prime Trilogy from gamestop/used

      1. haha bitch thats nothing, i actually got a few nintendo games. rayman legends 25$, resident evil reevaluations 20$, zelda four swords 15$ and metroid prime trilogy, steel book case, everything in it perfect condition 8$, have fun with that gamestop scam.

        1. CAN U PLEASE ELABORATE AND TELL ME WHERE U GOT 4 SWORDS FOR $15 BEEN LOOKING FOR THAT GAME IS THE ONLY ZELDA GAME I HAVENT PLAY. AND EVERYWHERE ITS AROUND $30.

          PLEASE????

          1. ok you little fuck. it all began one day, a VERY RAINY DAY A THUNDERY DAY!!!!! anyways so i was on the side of the road holding a metal pipe straight in the air screaming bloody murder.”oh waaa eeoooh wwaaahhh” waving my arms around. are you with me??

            then a car came by and picked me up because they thought i might die from lightning. so when they picked me up i threw the father out of the car into the mud puddle behind, then i started driving like a 100mph with the other passengers in the car.

            do you want me to proceed in telling the story??

              1. how did you know what happened next!!!!!
                http://youtu.be/L4iCaDCX3jY?t=5s

                you just spoiled it, anyway you will never find it for 15$ everything was 50% off at a local gamestore after i out smoked the devil. so you will have to keep searching for better prices, maybe go to a awn shop or a generic like store.

                1. GOT METROID PRIME JUST LIKE URS WITH METAL CASE, PLASTIC COVER, STICKERS, MANUAL AND BOOK FOR $20 AT A PAWN SHOP LIKE 6 MONTHS AGO. BUT NEVER SEEN A GCN GAME ON SALE.

    3. PROB GOING TO SELL GOOD SINCE SKYLANDER BUNDLE WAS/IS SOLD OUT EVERYWHERE. GAMESTOP WAS SOLD OUT OF WII U CONSOLES DURING THE WEEK AS WELL BUT THEY FAILED TO REPORT THAT.
      RAYMAN LEGENDS WAS $24.99 EVERYWHERE, COD GHOSTS, ORIGINS, ETC ETC. THEY DIDNT POST THAT TOO.

      BUT THEY HAVE THE NERVE TO POST THOSE KICKSTARTER CROWFUNDING SHIT LIKE.EVERYDAY. WHO CARES ABOUT CRAPPY TRASHY GAMES LIKE THAT NOBODYY.

      1. yeah did you here about motley crew, saying that wii u actually is the best video game console to buy this holiday even when a few days ago they said it was one of the worsts gifts??

        they didn’t post that though, that had to get them some clicks, also they didn’t post that witcher 3 isn’t coming to wii u!!!!! well its not because wii u sucks.

    1. I’m American and people who do black friday shopping are animals. I spend time with my family on Thanksgiving night. Don’t generalize.

      1. not if your not a fat ass. everywhere i went. was just slightly packed and some not at all. people stopped and let you get around in the stores, but yet again i went places a few hour safer and just and the place i live is supposed to be the nicest state.

          1. But yeah there are some secluded stores in my area during black friday. I think I went black friday shopping at my local target a couple of years ago and it was just like a normal day. No stampedes and all that nonsense.

        1. Yep not all of us are like that. The people you showed in that video are a huge fucking disgrace to humanity. I call black friday materialism in all its glory. Why wait outside camping for hours and shoving people when you can shop online on cyber monday at the convenience of your own home? On the other hand, there are some stores that aren’t bad at all during black friday. Just gotta find the right ones.

      2. THAT HAPPENS WHEN U LIVE IN THE GHETTO WITH HILBILLYS AND BLACK PPL. I DIDNT GO OUT THIS I GOT ALL MY STUFF FROM THE INTERNET.

  8. For all you stupid people. Wii U is a console for ANYONE! From kids to adults and so on. Don’t treat Nintendo any different!

  9. Wii u is going to be like the N64, it’s going to take time for people to get the consle. And the wii u can’t be selling that bad

  10. I dont like how WiiU is considered as “kids console”. Seriously fuck that shit! They have Cod,Ac,WatchDogs,Bayonetta2 etc they need to show those games and promote them especially Bayonetta2 because otherwise it wont sell because mature audience dont know that WiiU has games for them too. Seriously Nintendo needs to get rid off from this kid label they got after wii. And thats because they allowed too many carnival shit stuff on their system, they had No more heroes and they didnt even promote it, i want more edgy stuff from Nintendo in future too. I know they wanna appeal to everyone thats why they have their brilliant 1st party games, but they need to get rid off this “kids only” label, otherwise they wont get games like No more heroes anymore.

  11. I enjoy this system so much it is always disappointing to see it flounder so long in the sales market. Glad to see folks finally picking it up! Honestly though, when you launch a system you need to have a stacked deck of titles..Nintendo missed the boat on its launch!

    1. I understand you are waiting for more violent/mature games on ur wiiu as I do too, but we always had some nice stuff in the end, Turok 2 (n64), Resident Evil 4 (GC), Madworld (Wii), No more Heroes (Wii).. Let’s hope the Wii U will have some mature games in 2014!
