TL;DR: Expand your gaming options with a refurbished Wii U console, on sale as of May 23 for $235.99 — a 32% savings.
Nintendo’s been killing it lately, with the Switch console still selling in record numbers. And the release of Animal Crossing: New Horizons last year sparked a cultural phenomenon and created a whole new generation of fans.
So, it might seem silly to invest your money in a Wii U in 2021. But there are plenty of reasons to snag a Wii U console these days — especially a discounted refurbished one.
Would you believe that some of the Switch’s most popular games, like Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe were originally Wii U games? In fact, many of the console’s most popular games were ported directly to the Switch with ease — but not all of them. There’s a handful that are still completely exclusive to the Wii U, like Xenoblade Chronicles X.
The Wii U also sports a 6.2-inch LCD touchscreen, motion control system, front-facing camera, microphone, stereo speakers, and a shaking rumble feature. You can play directly on the Gamepad or sync wirelessly or via HDMI cable to play through your TV.
It’s also compatible with most of the games from the original Wii console, so you can whip out your old favorites. It’s also compatible with the Wii Remote, Wii Remote Plus, Nunchuck controllers, balance board, and many other Wii accessories.
This is a deluxe edition model, so you’ll even get 8GB of base storage to hold all of your saved games.
For a limited time, you can snag the refurbished Wii U console on sale for just $235.99 and expand your gaming repertoire.
