I was browsing on the Big W website and noticed reduced prices on their Wii U consoles.

Wii U Basic - $278: http://www.bigw.com.au/entertainment/video-games-consoles/wi…

Wii U Premium - $348: http://www.bigw.com.au/entertainment/video-games-consoles/wi…

Certainly nowhere near as appealing as the recent DSE clearance, but for anyone who signed up for the recent AMEX promo and hasn't used it yet - http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/116940 - it would knock another $50 off making it a decent price overall.

    Don't count it out just yet. Wait till next year after Smash Bros, Mario Kart 8 & even Wii Fit U come out. I'm hoping they do cross compatibility with the 3DS like the Gamecube did with the GBA.

    Doubt it… I'd say retailers are just being impatient. The Wii U isn't going to be graphically as far behind as its competitors, given that Devs for the PS4 and Xbox One are struggling to make their games run at 60fps on 1080p screens. Some games are going to come out at 900p resolution, while alot of Wii U games will be able to run 60fps at 720 upscaled, possibly higher. Nintendo's just about to release its heavy hitters, and their Zelda and Mario Bundles are increasing interest in the machine. Its a great machine, and the Gamepad controller is far more useful then given credit for.

  If I were Nintendo I would pay whatever Rare/Microsoft/who ever owns the James Bond licensing rights wants and port N64 Goldeneye to the WiiU in high definition with online multiplayer support. The game itself needs to be EXACTLY the same, EXACTLY!, right down to the joypad sensitivity of the analogue stick. No extra levels, no extra voice acting, NOTHING!

  That is the only path Nintendo have out of this mess. I would bankrupt the company to get it.

  Not gonna happen though.

  Does this mean Australia got the price cut like America?

  • 

    gibspmuh on 13/10/2013 - 12:46

    Australia didn't get the price cut, so there's two ways of looking at this. On the positive side it might just be Big W clearing out the old bundles before the new bundles are released next month. On the negative side they might just be following in Dick Smith's footsteps and dumping the Wii U altogether.

      Do you mean the same bundles the UK is getting? Are we getting them as well?

        So far I think they've only announced the Super Mario/Luigi Premium bundle, rather than either the Wii U Party or Just Dance 2014 basic bundles. Given the past history of releasing bundles I wouldn't hold my breath on more than just that here.
