Not enough. Cut the price 50£ more and I might consider. Cut the cheaper model to 99€ and I will buy it.

I think you'll have to be waiting another 4-5 years for that to happen.

Gamecube did that in 2 years.

gamecube has no expensive tablett controller.

considering inflation and the fact that the more complicated systems are the less they can drop in price 99 bucks should be impossible.

A single store dropping price =/= official price change.

Now, if Nintendo were to advertise some games and make it this price (or around it) officially, expect to see them flying off the shelves. As it is, probably just a loss leader promotion.


HMV has had this price for a month + ZombiU. That was to clear the remaining stock, and it looks like it is the same for ASDA if you check the website.

Nintendo hasn't set an official price in Europe though. Not sure if they can simply change it, especially considered that many retailers have still some stock from the holiday season.

While this is indeed a special offer, it's not thaaat far from the majority of retail prices for the Wii U within the Eurozone. However it's a huge drop compared to the (inofficial) launch price - £100 off. (Basic SKU 40% cheaper, Premium SKU 33% cheaper compared to launch)

Gamecube started at 200€, WiiU at 300€...

Wow that is very cheap. I would have gotten it if I wasn't saving up for the PS4.

But darn that's a good price.

I wonder if it means new incoming SKUs?

Is Nintendoland a flop? Should it be phased out of bundles?
