32GB Splatoon Wii U Bundle is $279 at Big W. It's in store only so not a bad idea to give them a call to check your local store has stock. nb Big W online store check is unreliable at best.

Usually $360 so if you're looking to get a Wii U, this is a good bargain to jump on.

A few games that stood out to me (all in store only as well):

  • Bayonetta 1+2 combo pack - $29
  • Yoshi's Woolly World - $39
  • Animal Crossing amiibo Festival - $39
  • Mario Party 10 amiibo bundle - $29. Not online, receipt only.
  • Lego Movie Wii U - $15 Again not online, receipt only.

Special thanks to bargainbounty for the receipt.

Most amiibo are on sale too for $13.60

    So thats like $ 209 or $219 for the console + a 60-70 dollar game, seems like a good deal. Good find.

    Amiibo Festival is fun too, nice price, especially with the 2 amiibos and the cards included. Would still need a second $5 card pack for 2 specific multiplayer minigames, but for a game with a few peripherals included, thats a good price.

    • Bands06 on 04/02/2016 - 15:58

      I've heard mixed reviews about it but for $39 you're essentially buying the amiibo and cards and getting the game for free

      • [Deactivated] on 04/02/2016 - 16:06
        +3

        Its alot of fun, basically for someone that wants to play an Animal Crossing experience but doesn't have alot of time + a bunch of interesting minigames. It incorporates the stockmarket, character visits, events from the core game + unlockable board customization pieces, changing pathways and leveling up unlockable costumes. You basically save progress and unlock minigames as you go. You can control how long a game is, etc. 30 minutes to hours.

        Its a chilled out experience, easy to play a bit and then turn off, the kind of game you just play whenever, when your tired, etc.

        Some of the card games are interesting, one requires you to scan the right cards to hit certain things in an arcade style wack-a-croc game. You basically need to hold 3 cards in one hand and switch quickly.

    What price for on-sale amiibo?

    • [Deactivated] on 04/02/2016 - 16:09

      Depends on region, i believe currently one featured in this is 20-25 in some regions, however they might be cheaper in Aust. I believe one of these has yet to be released outside the bundle. I could be wrong, im not big into collecting Amiibo outside the game functionality like in this and Mario Tennis and Smash.

        Oh, you're talking the amiibo bundles then?

          Sorry, I misunderstood you- I thought you wanted to on-sell the amiibo from the animal crossing bundle.

          Most amiibo are on sale- have updated the OP to be more clear.

      I am unable to travel to Renmark or Mt Gambier so I haven't even called, and Big W advise they don't do store transfer.

      Have called Target head office who advise that there are 5 at Elizabeth and 3 at Hollywood but Target advise their price match policy is it needs to be in both their and the competitors current catalogue for it to be price matched.

      Have called KMart head office and they advise no stock for the last 6 months.

      Have called EB head office and they advise no stock for SA.

      In adddition to this (unconfirmed) a friend has advised that Kwinana in WA have some stock.

          @beyondtool: There is a new Zelda coming out, that is what I am talking about. Agreed there are too many remakes.

        • beyondtool on 05/02/2016 - 21:06

          @beyondtool: I think it might be released to coincide with the new Wii console later this year but should be backwards compatible with the Wii U

  • sydney98 on 04/02/2016 - 16:48

    This bundle is a premium model or basic??.I am novice to the game consoles.
    I guess we could add more external storage if required???

    • Sage on 04/02/2016 - 16:49
      +2

      the black one is the premium model.

    • Mr Lister on 04/02/2016 - 17:35

      I don't think they've sold the basic since the launched the Premium, actually. Yeah Nintendo repeatedly recommends adding more storage yourself if it isn't enough (which if you buy a lot of Wii U games digitally yeah it isn't).

    • [Deactivated] on 04/02/2016 - 23:28

      You can, though occasionally digital (eshop) games run better off the internal system wii u hard drive. You can run games off an installed external, though its best to get one thats compatible with the system. You can check online, their websites recommends some. http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a…

      Some alternative drives may need you to use a "y-cable" to plug into 2 of the systems usb points, to generate more energy (system is designed to not use much)

      You can generally copy your game saves/ games onto an external, while keeping eshop games you intend to play on the wii u hard drive.

      Any new bundle won't be this cheap for a while.
      Splatoon has been around for a while, so they're making room for the next bundle which might be with Star Fox.
      Get one while they're cheap or wait for Nintendo's next console.
