All Wii accessories are compatible, however some games require the motion plus controllersWorking on convincing the wife. We have a 360 so might trade it in towards a bundle of they have any.
Anyone know if the Wii balance board is compatible?
Destiny?I'm still waiting for a compelling exclusive on PS4/XBone to make me want to purchase a next gen console. As it stands, everything decent they have to offer will be offered on PC.
Wii U on the other hand is far more compelling from an exclusive software perspective. No brainier for me.
Thanks. Our Wii is "newer" so all the controllers are motion plus including my special edition zelda one.All Wii accessories are compatible, however some games require the motion plus controllers
Not really. She has a WiiFit Plus or whatever she uses all the time and a bunch of Zumba games for the Wii. I wanted to make sure it was all compatible because my TV already has 3 consoles, cable box, and a receiver hooked up to it.Noodle, you trying to convince the wife the WiiU is a great purchase because of all the work outs you can do on it?
What games are you preordering with the 1$? and is that the promotion? preorder (what?) and get 15$ off MK8? And what games can the codes get? I am most likely going to order the 200$ refurb Wiiu once I finish typing thisthere is a pretty bangin' deal for Wii U users right now. Go to target, pick up 1+ copies of mario kart 8 and get a $1 preorder card for any upcoming game for each MK8 you get. Tell the video games cashier that amazon is selling MK8 for $10 cheaper, and she will walk you over to the customer service area where they will PM the game from $60 to $48 after looking up amazon price on their iPad. After they have scanned everything tell them you want to also buy the $1 preorder cards, after they scan em it will deduct $15 for each MK8 you buy. So it'll cost you total $34+tax for each MK8, not bad.
Now open up any extra MK8s you bought, take out the red club nintendo insert (pin on it), keep em, and trade the extra MK8s at Best Buy or Gamestop for $40-44 each. Bam, you get basically paid $10 to get a free game from Nintendo.
I just did it today, bought 3 MKs and three $1 preorder cards, kept one MK8 and traded the other two at Best Buy for $88 (GCU gives 10% bonus). Cost me $110 after taxes, for basically $22 I got my own copy of MK8 and three free Wii U games from Nintendo - Pikmin, Super Mario, and Zelda (digital). Don't want Mario Party or I woulda done a fourth. You do need to fuck around with sub accounts (kids) in the Nintendo site to redeem them, but its pretty simple and easy.
Some people are going nuts all this week and doing shit like price matching COD/AC4 PS3 & 360 and flipping it for $10-20 profit at gamestop, do it 30-40 times and you basically make enough to buy a console. The whole thing is kinda sleazy, but Target is still making money, Nintendo is selling a shit ton of extra MK8 copies, and Best Buy sells used MK8s for $50 anyways so they aren't losing out. Some targets are refusing to let you combine the $1 discount with the price match, so it depends on how many people in your area have done it.
I gotta get a TV in my office.. she doesn't mind the wires and st uff but I mind her watching shitty TV when I want to play gamesi have a tv in my office attached to my PC and my consoles just so i can avoid that problem, i think my wife would cut my balls off if i tried to attach anything new to the living room tv or bring in any new remotes. women and remote controls
but yeah the wii fit balance board works fine with wii u as will all the wii games like just dance or wii fit
my refurbished wii u shipped from nintendo, so it looks like its about 2 days turnaround from order place to ship
the $1 preorder cards at target are for, duh, any games releasing in the fall it varies from store to store. you can just throw em away if you want or keep em and pay for the real game when it releases, up to you, just treat em as a $14 discount. The 4 free games you can get with MK8 purchase are Super Mario U, Pikmin 3, Zelda something (Windwalker?), and Mario Party.
I am going to assume you can only collect 1 code per Nintendo account- and that's why you talked about child accounts etc- MK8 + WindWaker for 35$ is nuff deal for me to not fiddle with getting more than 1 copy- may be worth the efford to get Super Mario u- as the refurb comes with Nintendo land.... does gamestop give you cash? or just credit?i have a tv in my office attached to my PC and my consoles just so i can avoid that problem, i think my wife would cut my balls off if i tried to attach anything new to the living room tv or bring in any new remotes. women and remote controls
