Nintendo hasn’t only dropped the Wii U’s price in North America. The company has confirmed a cut for the UK, taking around £30 off the RRP.
The price drop will begin on October 4. A couple of new Wii U bundles will launch on the same day – one for Zelda: Wind Waker HD and another for LEGO City: Undercover.
A Nintendo spokesperson said:
“We’ve reduced the European trade price of the Wii U Premium Pack to retailers from October 4th. At the same time we’ll be launching the Zelda bundle (32 GB) and the Lego Premium Pack (32 GB) which will also be available to the retailers at the same lower trade price as the traditional Wii U Premium packs which are currently available in the market place.”

Reggie not worried about PS4 and Xbox One – says being new isn’t enough, “pretty pictures by themselves aren’t selling propositions”

How does Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime feel about the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One? He already gave a “Meh” in response to their launch lineups.
Even with two new consoles on the way that the Wii U will be forced to compete with,
“I don’t think consumers buy hardware just because it’s sexy and new. I think consumers buy hardware because of the experiences they can have on them. That’s why, for us, having a strong holiday line-up is so critically important.”
“You know, to a certain extent, how they perform is going to come down to the clarity of their proposition, their execution. There are a lot of variables out there, and that’s for my friends over at Microsoft and Sony to go figure out. My job is to drive Nintendo products and make sure we have a great holiday.”
There’s no denying that the PS4 and Xbox One have a leg up on Wii U when it comes to specs and visuals. However, Reggie pointed out that graphics alone “aren’t selling propositions”.
“Systems that generate pretty pictures by themselves aren’t selling propositions, and all you need to do is look at the last generation to see the evidence. And that’s true whether you look at the home console space or the handheld space. It’s not about the graphics by itself. It’s about the entire experience.”
