Drove 2 hours today to buy a Wii U. Couldn't find any places in stock with them. Best buy clean out, Gamestop etc. Plenty on PS4s everywhere but can't find Wii Us anywhere. Looked online also. Places like Amazon are charging over $200 normal price now. Guess they are a hot item now.

Apparently your stores all stink. I can't remember the last time I walked through a store and didn't see Xbox One, PS4 and Wii U all readily available.Then again, it is just after Black Friday when they ran huge sales on everything. I know best Buy ran a deal on the Wii U to get 4 games with it for something under $300. I'm sure they sold a ton of that package since it included 4 of the 5 or maybe 6 games on it worth having.

The Virtual Console is a plus, but that exists on the original Wii as well.

 
Then again, according to the number crunchers, the Wii U didn't sell too hot for Black Friday either. Either they don't have much stock in general, or you just weren't in the right place.

The header on this image deceptive and has been in many articles. I don't know why they didn't call out in the graphic that these numbers are just the share each console had in sales for Black Friday, not the overall market share...

Did you want a particular bundle?

No not really they just had none.I think they are just sold out everywhere with the new Smash Bros, Mario Kart, and the new game play footage of Zelda. I am just wanting one at a bad time.

 
They never had great stock to begin with. If you look around other systems were sold out as well but they are restocked better than the Wii U is. But yes, hype for the Wii U is up right now due to Smash and all.
 
I never did play the old Smash Bro's but everyone at work here always talks how awesome it was. I guess the new one is great and can handle 8 people at a time. I watched some game play this morning and it looked great. Plus then there is Mario Kart which looks awesome. These types of games look like they would be fun to play with friends. So I guess if I get one that means everyone else here will need one too. :)
 
I would like to get my hands on a Zelda bundle kit, but those things are to hard to find now.

Hard = impossible except from ebay or other third party sellers for insane prices. Last place to have them available was gamestop and those are long gone.

Ya Im not paying $300 extra for that over the normal version.
 
Also Amazon is not allowed to carry Wii u. They are all from third party. I don't know why Nintendo does this.

Not everyone has internet.Also, if Amazon could sell them, they could set the price, while taking the loss. Nintendo wouldn't take a hit, because Amazon would take the loss, but they would have difficulty selling them in the rest of the market space. Memory serves that Nintendo controlled wii production to artificial reduce supply to increase demand. If Amazon did sell, they could disrupt that.
Anyway. I don't have to $300 for another console. Gotta buy new gear for Elite: Dangerous

Sorry I thought you meant the Zelda version. The msrp that all stores sell for is $299. If your paying anything more than you are getting ripped off.
 
Target: Wii U for $250, 3DS XL for $150 starting December 14
