Play.com has the Mario/Luigi Wii U bundle going for just £199.99. You can place an order here. The package comes with a 32GB console, a copy of New Super Mario Bros. U, and a copy of New Super Luigi U.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds contains a Hero Mode, though you’ll need to complete the story on normal in order to unlock it. Those who eventually take on the harder mode will find that enemies dish out quadruple damage.

We’re also hearing that Zelda: A Link Between Worlds features something extra in addition to Hero Mode. One person playing through the game expects this to take “a while to complete”.

At least in the UK, Call of Duty: Ghosts is off to an absolutely abysmal start on Wii U. The console accounted for less than 1 percent of the game’s total sales. Believe it or not, Ghosts sold more on the PlayStation 4 even though the console itself has yet to launch in the country.
