Report: Best Buy also returning Wii U Basic

4.6

Best Buy is the next big retailer sending back its Wii U Basic units to Nintendo. Nintendo World Report has an image pulled from Best Buy's internal system stating "stores should pull all new in box [Wii U Basic] units and send them back" starting tomorrow. It also notes that stores should see more Wii U Deluxe units arrive in the coming weeks.

GameStop is also currently going through a similar send-back of the Wii U Basic.

Nintendo previously stated any notion of a recall of the Wii U Basic is a "misperception" and that the company is "working with its retail partners to simply rebalance the stock of the White 8GB and the Black 32GB Wii U models in the market." The House of Mario claims consumers will be able to continue purchasing both models. The Wii U has struggled since launch, with the regular Wii outperforming its progeny.

slapshot101 I think Nintendo are figuring out that that people are don't want something that is only 8GB, most people want a little bigger HDD so they can store a good amount of data.

Yeah....but you have to wonder why it took them so long.

-LOST- Do they have memory cards because that would not be enough space.

They have external hard drives for the Wii U. I searched on Gamestop and they have 320 GB external hard drives.

Yeah I don't know who needs that many GB for a Wii U but whatever makes Nintendo happy.
