aka you waited too long

Astral/H3X · Oct 24, 2014

OOOOOHHHHH SHIIIIITTTT.

Power of Smash confirmed.

EDIT: Is it chalkboard time yet?

Storm Raider · Oct 24, 2014

The end of an era..

Cody_D165 · Oct 24, 2014

the Smash hype is real

WonderzL · Oct 24, 2014

That Bayonetta hype

Blues1990 · Oct 24, 2014

Eh, they'll have them restocked within a week. Two weeks, tops.

Crayolan · Oct 24, 2014

This might be the first time the Wii U has sold out in any sense since launch.

KHlover · Oct 24, 2014

Huh. All you cheapskates better hope Black Friday has some great bundle prices lol

Persona7 · Oct 24, 2014

Launch stock finally sold out?

I hope they have a cool bundle next month. If not by Nintendo then a retailer.

knkng · Oct 24, 2014

How many copies of Bayonetta 2 does that translate to?

No, that is when they were backordered. They have NEVER been out of stock to my recollection.

Hades Hotgun · Oct 24, 2014

This has happened several times before, just look at the thread for it. This isn't really any kind of news.

Give this guy GAF gold lol.

qko · Oct 24, 2014

Yeah, I dunno how many returns they'll be getting in the next couple of months. Probably will be restocked mid January.

Anth0ny · Oct 24, 2014

That Smash Direct today did its job, I see.

I wonder what the Black Friday bundle/price drop is going to be.

Zero, these were for Smash.

Didn't the prior times clearly say backordered? The wording is different this time.

Mariolee · Oct 24, 2014

Even if this isn't permanent, I'm glad I got my refurbished Wii U a few weeks ago. So good.

Mines for Xenoblade and Zelda though

MK8 gave it a (very) temporary boost that had it sold out in some places.

Exactly.

But you bought yours before they sold out, right?

So the Mewtwo DLC did it's job? Excellent.

jholmes · Oct 24, 2014

The shipment that fell off of that truck in Spokane has finally run out. 'Tis a dark day.

JKBii · Oct 24, 2014

Eminem bought the last one.

Got my refurb shortly after e3 when the refurb thread here was first created.

Twin Drive System · Oct 24, 2014

Welp, there goes the idea of getting a Wii U for Bayonetta 2.

wishdom · Oct 24, 2014

Knowing how slow Club Nintendo rewards are restocked, it could take months before we see new refurbs.

vatstep said:
I can't recall them ever being sold out since this thread has existed. There was one afternoon about a week after E3 where they were backordered, but the orders were still going through. So... I don't know.

So no, this isn't the first time as far as I can tell.

Reg · Oct 24, 2014

Nintendo is back, Jack!

You can still get a WiiU for bayonetta 2

Bashtee · Oct 24, 2014

I'm tempted to buy one myself, but I fear they are pulling a new 3DS on me.

Oh, interesting. So Nintendo's going to have to find the time to knock over a pallet in some warehouse before we get more refurbs.

dragonlife · Oct 24, 2014

Glad I bought one last month.

Nintendo has only ever removed features from iterations of home console hardware AFAIK.

Ice cold = Gaf Gold

All you gaffers finally bought all the stock they had. They were probably the recalled 8GB models with added memory and black casing. A lot of the refurbs seemed new.

The power of Smash and Bayonetta

CO_Andy · Oct 24, 2014

Eminem buying up Wii U refurbs for all his buddies.

robotrock · Oct 24, 2014

That Bayonetta hype! Yes!

This is easily the best theory I've heard as to what they are, actually.

Tesseract · Oct 24, 2014

i just cancelled mine and went with a $300 32 gb deluxe box with mario + luigi u from amazon. also got zombiu for $10, and monster hunter for $15.

and a lan adapter, because fuck wireless.

Jotamide · Oct 24, 2014

Holding off for Black Friday. Wanna hit platinum in order to get exclusive access to demos of games I had no idea I wanted to play in the first place.

No, Splatoon.

Velcro Fly · Oct 24, 2014

Hoping that one of the big box stores will have the 32gb bundle for $275 again. Or $300 with some kind of gift card. I need a Wii U before smash.

Soul Beat · Oct 24, 2014

Such a joyous occasion!

Let us celebrate!

EteRnal PAL · Oct 24, 2014

So glad I bought mine a month ago for Bayo 2.

Tesseract · Oct 24, 2014

are there any good exclusive indie titles on eshop?

EatinOlives · Oct 24, 2014

HUELEN10 said:

Well, it does say "Please check back again soon!", implying this isn't something that's likely permanent or even long-term.

harmonize · Oct 24, 2014

the smash effect

the mewtwo effect

no more rap feuds. next time someone starts a beef with Em, he'll dish out the ether in smash.

either that or he's planning on embarrassing the rest of D12 at the game.
