Exactly my point, no meaningful discounts for Wii U this holiday

 

Best Buy

• Wii U Deluxe Set (32GB) Bundle (Super Mario 3D World + Nintendo Land) + Super Smash Bros. for Wii U + Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze — $359.97

So you get a Wii U (normally $300) + four games for an extra $60. Three excellent games plus one that's still pretty fun with friends and family. And one of those games is the Wii U's biggest game of the holiday season, and first or second biggest game of the entire year. And that game launches only a week before Black Friday at $60 by itself. You know, the same price you'd be paying for the game plus two other excellent games plus one that's still pretty fun with friends and family.

So what the fuck more do you want? A Wii U for $5.75 plus tax?

the problem with these kinds of bundles is this,..  i have 0 interest in nintendo land and only slight interest in donkey kong.  also donkey kong and super mario 3D world sell below msrp these days.  so what i see is a wiiU marked up by $60 with about $120 of added value.

 

not exactly a motivating deal.

For someone interested in all of those games, that's a good deal. Obviously, not every deal will appeal to everyone. If I didn't yet own a Wii U, I would snap that up in a heartbeat.
