Video Games New York bought back Wii Us at a faster pace than at any time in the console’s history at the beginning of 2018, he said. “Wii U trade-ins are not common even after the launch of the Switch,” Ferguson said, and “even after the announcement of certain Wii U games being ported to the Switch”. Ian Ferguson, who works at San Diego games store Luna Games, said he doesn’t see a lot of Wii Us come through his shop. Wii U also came with the unique (if somewhat polarising) GamePad controller, and Nintendo never sold GamePads by themselves, meaning that if the controller breaks, the whole system is useless. Today, Nintendo announced that the Switch has already outsold it after less than a year on the market. These, too, are now depleted, although GameStop and Amazon have many in stock.īesides Smash, another reason for low supply of Wii U is that it was Nintendo’s worst-selling console. But as late as November 2017, you could buy a Wii U directly from Nintendo, either on its own online store or via eBay, for $US175 ($221). Nintendo discontinued its production in November, 2016.
Wii U disappeared from retail shelves quickly when Switch came along to replace it last March.
