Nintendo is selling refurbished Wii U consoles for $200. Perhaps as an attempt to help bolster sales of the its home console, the company’s US store is knocking $50 off of the deluxe edition. While this model of the console usually retails for $300 when purchased new, Nintendo has previously offered the refurbished edition for $250.
It’s no secret that Nintendo’s first foray into the high definition video game market has been met with indifference. Even with a year’s head start, it has been reported that Sony’s PlayStation 4 and Microsoft’s Xbox One, which both launched last November, have already overtaken the flagging console’s salesin at least one territory.
The lack of consumer interest hasaffected the platform’s third-party support, which inevitably makes it even less appealing to buyers. However, if you are looking to sample Nintendo’s first-party software,which still remains some of the best in the industry, then this temporary sale is, quite frankly, a steal.
The deal comes with the black 32GB model, the tablet-like GamePad, a physical copy ofNintendo Land, and other basic accessories, like an AC adapter, HDMI cable, sensor bar (for playing Wii games because the console is fully backwards compatible), and a one-year warranty. It doesnot, however, include any Wii Remote Plus controllers, which are necessary to play some of the multiplayer games included inNintendo Land.
