Report: Best Buy also returning Wii U Basic

4.6
Best Buy is the next big retailer sending back its Wii U Basic units to Nintendo. Nintendo World Report has an image pulled from Best Buy's internal system stating "stores should pull all new in box [Wii U Basic] units and send them back" starting tomorrow. It also notes that stores should see more Wii U Deluxe units arrive in the coming weeks.

GameStop is also currently going through a similar send-back of the Wii U Basic.

Nintendo previously stated any notion of a recall of the Wii U Basic is a "misperception" and that the company is "working with its retail partners to simply rebalance the stock of the White 8GB and the Black 32GB Wii U models in the market." The House of Mario claims consumers will be able to continue purchasing both models. The Wii U has struggled since launch, with the regular Wii outperforming its progeny.

BDB I didn't know it had anotherr Wii U ? :D Getting old.


The Wii U hasn't sold well at all over here in Australia. I haven't heard of new model either


I think I heard something about it having more GB on it? I'm not to sure if that was correct or not.

Its just because the console isn't popular in the least. It was a flop.

Michelangelo- Nintendo is slowly dying :(


It's a shame, they used to be such a great company! Today I've played both my N64 and a Gameboy Advance. I wish this stuck to their old standards...


They are an arcade company, and we aren't in an arcade era anymore.

Katsumi The WiiU really isn't working well for Nintendo..

That is because they really didn't do much to the console, it is just like the Wii, nothing new.


True, they only changed the design and for the rest, nothing special.


They were hoping for the best like they did with the Wii. They put the Wii on the shelves and it sold very well. They were hoping the same for the Wii U but it did not go exactly as planned.


Hahaha, I know! They should of put in more work in the Wii U, new features and better graphics.


I think they should simply add more graphics and processing power to the console. It's not like we are asking for it to perform at the level of the PS4. We at least expect nintendos next generation console to run on par with the PS3


I don't really care if it matches up with the the PS3. I like Nintendo for their games and that's good enough for me.

Kal_El Nintendo is slowly dying :(


Sadly they are, a lot of gamers have moved from Nintendo and went to Microsoft, Sony or PC gaming. I am one of them but I will be getting a Wii U.


I wouldn't say that they are dying. While the consoles are not selling well the 3DS is extremely popular at the moment


I wasn't aware that the Nintendo 3DS was doing that good in sales. Is it because of Pokemon X and Pokemon Y coming out? Or did they just do an amazing job on the 3DS.
