Forums - Nintendo - the wii-u is like a f*cked up x-files episode.

I watched one episode of the x files when i was a child - it had something to do with a warewolf and shapeshifters - it scared the beejeebus out of me.

haha good thing you never saw the episode "Home".

It was so scary that they ran it once, and never showed it again on tv. Only many many years later when g4 picked it up, had network scrutiny relaxed to a point where they could show it again.

So, 2 games and 2 Wii motes and a steering wheel peripheral that works with the wiimote is not a good deal?

Well, then i dont know what a good deal is for you.

Seems like a decent deal to me. Perhaps if it was $300 it would be a good deal to you? If $30 (which the extra game and wheel controller easily make up for) makes you on the fence about a new system then you probably weren't going to get the system anyways.  Wii U needs to get to the $250 price point but it won't till at least this holiday season.

I think this bundles already selling at a loss so why would they waste MORE money on the Wii U by making it an even better deal?



Consoles: 3DS, Wii U, and Vita soon. Super Paper Mario fan.

I figure they're probably going to break even or lose the same amount per unit anyway. What does it cost them to give a free digital game? Wiimote retails for $40, but it doesnt cost that much to produce.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

As a fan of the X-files i want to comment with something good, but I just don't really get it. I get the first bit, but then, what? Are you saying they had a great chance to realise the Wii U's potential with a great MK8 bundle but they blew it?

Yes! that's what i mean.


So you're saying $330 for WiiU, Mario Kart 8 and one of 10 games is not a great deal?

And an extra Wii Remote Plus and wheel.

 You know it's there. Somewhere out there. The potential. We all see it. And then they announce a mario kart bundle for 330 dollars. And yeah you get a secondary game for free. Why?? Is this a good deal!? No.

It's like Mulder and Scully are searching for aliens and they find a tape of bigfoot.

Still waiting for X though.

 

It is a good deal. A Wii U premium console, 2 games, a wheel and a remote+ means you're getting the console itself for around $250. Sounds like a good deal to me.

I don't see how getting 2 free games and a remote for $330 is not a good deal.

What then, is a good deal?
