Yes, the Deluxe Version: https://store.nintendo.com/ng3/us/po/browse/productDetailColorSizePicker.jsp?productId=prod150200

Searched and didn't find anything, thought it would be relevant though. Smash me off screen if old.

It's kinda scary that Nintendo has so many refurbs to go around. Did that many people brick their systems with the initial update?

wsoxfan1214 · Jun 11, 2014

I'm pretty sure they've had these for a longggg while, no?

thesnowman · Jun 11, 2014

Must admit, I'm tempted.

bob page · Jun 11, 2014

This has been up for a while. I got one a few weeks ago and it looks brand new.

CrashPrime · Jun 11, 2014

These have been up for ages. I have to imagine it's a bunch of "new old stock" from the original Nintendo Land deluxe bundles that collected dust on so many retailer shelves during the lean times.

very tempting since this is direct from nintendo and has a warranty. Normally wouldn't consider refurb stuff, but this seems like a good deal.

InsertNameHere · Jun 11, 2014

This looks really tempting. I may purchase it.

Nevermind the existing library - SM3DW, W101, Zelda WWHD, Mario Kart 8, DKC:TF...

Might have to jump on this. Will see how long it lasts.

The Mario Kart promo is still running, too, so you're essentially getting the bundle w/ 3 games for $260.

Refurbished systems with screens (like Wii U Gamepad and DS/3DS) usualyl get their screens repaired right?

I dont want to order one and have the screen with some minor scratches in it.

todd360 · Jun 11, 2014

I'm going to go with this if there isn't a price drop by the time the new Zelda comes out.

Head of Vengarl · Jun 11, 2014

Really tempting. Fuck...

Does anyone think the Wii U will see a price drop anytime soon?

Mine was brand new- no signs that it was ever used, not even one hairline scratch on the console or controller.

I'm assuming they're just leftover launch stock that they never sold.

You would have seen it in the last 48 hours if they had planned to do it any time soon.

Cool. Might consider it then as soon as I get a job

DedValve · Jun 11, 2014

Word of the wise, the one I have has massive screen tearing issue. Every WiiU game has screen tearing but when in wii mode (or if I restart the system/unplug and replug the hdmi) the screen tearing goes away.

I've tried every solution and it is the consoles fault. I have to send it in to Nintendo to replace or fix but

A) I don't want to lose my Wind Waker DD title
B) I'm still playing WW

Other than that the console itself was flawless. No previous sign of use.

Kyne · Jun 11, 2014

Waiting for Smash Wii bundle.

Actually... I wonder if that controller+game+adapter will make them stray away from a game+console bundle.. damn.

BrickArmour · Jun 11, 2014

It is old. But I will add that I bought one and have been completely satisfied. It arrived in like-new condition and has worked great. Not a fingerprint on it.

Etzer · Jun 11, 2014

I don't know why, but "PRODUCTO RECONSTRUIDO" makes me more wary than "REFURBISHED PRODUCT". "Reconstruido" sounds like it was destroyed and then reassembled. lol

J3ffro · Jun 11, 2014

Bear with me for a little cocktail napkin math.

Okay, so this is $200 with Nintendo Land, but no extra controllers whereas the MK8 bundle is $330, but comes with Mk and a Wii Mote and wheel.

In that case the refurb effectively costs $175, since Nintendo Land appears to be ~$25ish. The bundle system is effectively $225, since MK is $60, and the Wii Mote plus and wheel are ~$45. The free game that comes with MK is a wash since if you spend the $60 on the standalone game it comes just the same.

I'm interested in Nintendo Land, so that's a built in bonus, it's not like having to pay for something you don't really want.

Seems like a good deal to save $50 on the system to go factory warranty refurb. Not really sure about the whole coin thing, if that's worth a damn or not, but I'm guessing its nowhere worth $50.

ArcaneFreeze · Jun 11, 2014

The refurbs are basically the Nintendo Land bundles that were phased out in favor of the WindwakER/NSMBU bundles and returned to them.

Garrett Hawke · Jun 11, 2014

Wish they offered something similar in the UK.

fauxtrot · Jun 11, 2014

Damnit! Why did I have to see this today? This and E3 was the 1, 2 punch I needed to get on board with Nintendo again.

There's plenty of games out right now to justify the jump. Upcoming games just solidify it a bit because some people were worried Nintendo was going to essentially kill Wii U leaving 2015 without releases.

Zelda is my entry point... hopefully Metroid won't be far behind.

OnPoint · Jun 11, 2014

I hope these are still around in like 2 weeks.

KissVibes · Jun 11, 2014

Another $50 less with FS and I'll be a Wii U owner.

I'm tempted by this but I might just get the MK8 bundle instead because I need a Wiimote Plus and would prefer a brand new console (and I have a Target gift card). Gotta decide before the end of the month if I am going to jump in so I can get my free Wind Waker.

I just got mine about week ago and it looked band new. I also got 160 points for it on Club Nintendo. Took about a week to ship (SoCal).

Yes, they have, and I believe there already is a thread...but that's ok, because what better time to re-inform people about it, especially when a ton of people are probably about to pull the trigger.

Yes, I want to second this. Seriously, if you are even thinking of getting a WiiU, this is a fantastic deal. I bought one (my second, after trading in the first) last Monday. Shipping was extremely fast (from Washington to California) and I got it on Friday. As bob page said, mine was brand new. Like I seriously look so closely at every piece of the console and gamepad, and I could not find any signs that it had been used. And the copy of Nintendo Land was brand new (which shouldn't really be a surprise, but still.)

So seriously people, buy this bundle! Don't even hesitate because of the world "refurbished."This is the best deal around, especially if you already have Wiimotes and such.

One thing to note which I didn't realize when I bought, this is the deluxe system, but it doesn't include the gamepad stand/charging cradle. However, Amazon has them for $7.95 (the official Nintendo ones,) so I bought one of them and was happy!

Curufinwe said:

Standard is $5, 2 day is $10.

Order Mario 3D world too.

co1onel · Jun 11, 2014

Really old deal, but I just got mine in the mail today. Still updating, but the system itself is in perfect condition. The sticker on the back of the Wii U gamepad is the only thing that gives away the fact its not new as its looks slightly worn.

GeeDuhb · Jun 11, 2014

And obviously get MK8 (Amazon has it for $48, if you pre-order a game at Target this week you get $15 off any game) and don't forget to redeem your free game too!

kinggroin · Jun 11, 2014

I'm selling my white Wii U with Nintendo land for $175 if anyone is interested.
