Wii U deluxe price cut to $299, Wind Waker HD coming to eShop Sept. 20

4.6
Nintendo has slashed the price of its deluxe version of the Wii U to $299, Nintendo announced. The deluxe version, featuring a 32 GB hard drive, will now match the same price as its basic, 8 GB hard drive counterpart.

Additionally, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD will launch digitally first on Nintendo's eShop September 20, with the boxed version coming October 4. The Wind Waker HD Wii U bundle will include a download code for a copy of the game, and yes, will now be the same price as other Wii U systems, $299.

News of the Wii U's price drop comes after Nintendo President Satoru Iwata said earlier this month that the Wii U's price wasn't the issue in regards to the system's underwhelming sales. While the company posted a profit in Q1 2013, it moved just 160,000 Wii U systems during that three-month span. Nintendo also announced an entirely new system today, the Nintendo 2DS.

Lightyear If they could make it cheaper to around $100-175, I'll think about getting one!


To be honest I wouldn't get one if it was $1. I have never been a fan of it, and I never will be. Sorry Wii lol.

Impossibility i say make the console 100 dollars and we good lol


I 100 percent agree with this.


I would buy one if it was that cheap haha.

How do they plan to sell the basic versions? If they make them the same price everyone will just buy the deluxe one. They must be fazing out eh basic models or they plan to shortly reduce it's price also.

Daw $300 is too expensive for the Wii U. 100-150 is a good price range for this console.


I would say that around $100-200 is pretty reasonable. i wouldn't pay $300 for it.
