Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Gamestop ad hints at a possible Wii U price cut

http://www.theblackfriday.com/ads/meijer/black-friday/meijer-black-friday-ad.php

The ad indicates the 'regular' price is $299.99, which is consistent with the current WiiU bundles but includes Splatoon & Smash instead of a game + Nintendoland which retails for $30.

It really isn't a price cut so much as just bump up of the package for the same price.



Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.

Lots of Nintendo collectibles to sell. I wish we'd ever get at least some of them here in Luxembourg :(

And does that Majora's Mask Wristwatch work for more than 3 days?

Yeah looks like no official price cut. They just worded the Wii U differently, but both the Wii U and New 3DS XL are $20 off at GameStop for Black Friday (or in the Wii U's case until supplies run out). 

Nintendo seems adament not to take any financial losses on the Wii U, a tell tale sign they are prepping for the NX next holiday, if the Wii U had a long future ahead of it they would have cut by at least $50 this year to boost the userbase for that expected future, but since Nintendo doesn't see a long future for it ... no price cut. 



Is the 279.99 a holiday price or a true price cut,I hope its a true one.Wii U should sell a ton this xmas



About time they cut the price, not that is going to make a big difference but still

About time, if true.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Better late than never! I hope the Splatatatatoon bunduru sells amazingly well and boost the game sales even more!



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Yeesh. Only $20 off. That's almost insulting considering how abysmal the Wii U's line up has been this entire year, let alone this holiday.



Yeaaaaaa, $20 off isn't going to do anything to boost sales. At all.

My guess if this bundle is really a price cut is that the Maro Maker, Splatoon, and Mario Kart Bundles are $250 with this as the premium bundle at $280


Not the case. This was a $300 bundle. It was announced before this.
