You should've got this deal, @BasilZero: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nintendo-Party-Mario-Super-World/dp/B00P68FY0M/ref=zg_bs_676171011_15

WiiU + MK8 + NintendoLand + Mario 3D World + WiiU Party for 199 pounds!

You are kidding right D:....that is $311 for 2 games I want, a extra and a pointless game (WiiU party) and a system that will only play EU region only games....cause you know Nintendo loves to region lock their systems >.>.....

Besides our connections here are NTSC....not PAL D:!

No.

Smash Bros and DKC Returns Tropical Freeze were the bonus items which would of totaled out to $400+.

Mario Kart 8 I got in a sale for $35

So in the end I got 4 games + a extra in the end.

But MK8 and SM3DWorld are quite comparable! Also, it's a lot cheaper despite being in the uK!

Comparable in terms of what?

Yes that specific bundle is cheaper in the UK but you have to bear in mind if I get a WiiU from the UK I will need to get all games from the UK otherwise the WiiU would not be able to read the games I can buy here locally.

That means higher price in shipping depending on where I buy - less outlets to look forward to sales compared to what I would have available here in the States (Amazon USA, Best Buy, Sears, Target, ToysRUs, Kmart, TigerDirect, NewEgg USA, Frys Electronics, MicroCenter, etc.

Along with that I would need to get myself a PAL enabled TV because my NTSC Sony Bravia would not be able to properly showcase the games in its proper video output. I know this because I took my NTSC Gamecube years ago to India and played it on a PAL Sony Tv in India and it was all black and white with some visuals missing or blurred out.....

So in the end if I go the route you are telling me, I would be paying double if not more D:

Lol I wasn't being serious but I was just surprised you could get a better deal in the UK than the US. That's only really the case with WiiU and not any of the other consoles right now.

Btw, HDTVs are "region free" so to say. Certainly if you connect the console through HDMI. So unless you still have an SDTV you will have no problems. I bought my PS3 from US some years ago with no problems at all (just had to buy an adapter for the power cord and that's it).

Eh.

If I wanted it really I would rather get the GCN controller itself.

But I want the Pro controller more cause the GCN controller only works with Smash >.>.
Or get the vanilla Classic Controller.  It's better than the pro and GC controller.

Vanilla classic?

My store still has the GTA V/TLoU PS4 bundle.  :P
Black Friday wasn't as big as people were expecting at my store. 
Almost wonder if the fact that they started on Thursday hurt it.  Though I'm not sure what the normal BF thing is, I've never shopped or worked one.

Not as many good deals as previous years.

The original snes looking one.  You plug it into your Wii controller.  It's the only good controller for Bayonetta
