Been thinking about picking one up for a while as used to have one before all the cool Mario ones came out but thought id go into the game shop and pick one up for 199 and to my shock its still £240.
I seem to recall it being that price for at least 2 years ago, I remember when they first came out and they did a price drop because the basic was under 150 but id like to get one but at the same time I dont want to feel ripped off getting one especially with the NX coming out next year and I wont go down the second hand route for consoles especially with touch screen controls so wondered if anyone here has ideas.

As much as I'm a fan I wouldn't bother, I'm only getting Tokyo Mirage and Zelda U when that appears.... I doubt there will be any major releases for it now.
If they bundled Mario Maker and Splatoon with a 32gb at Xmas around the 150 170 price I would say that was worth it.. But I would bet that those games will make an NX appearance..
Starfox is worth it, and I've still got Xenoblade and twilight princess to play..
Never thought I would say this..
Just buy a PS4 and UC4
Exactly what I'm doing.
I bought a PS4 last year!
The games seem reasonibly priced but its just the system I cant justify the price. Ive not come across any good offers on the net for it.
On the contrary, the games cost a fortune. I would start with the Nintendo selects, Mario U, donkey Kong and Zelda
Could wait to see if the new Nintendo console is backwards compatible, but I also want to be able to play wii games too.
I'm assuming(hoping) the Wii remote will be history with NX..assuming it's a home console...?? It could be a handheld or a mobile phone or all we know..
The wii remote was just odd in itself, I understand for sports games but Mario Galaxy should have been a proper pad version.
I cant see NX running wii games maybe the odd wii U game.
Is there a reason the console is more expensive than when it first came out?
The Game Pad is quite robust. Mine's been dropped on the wooden floor and covered in food and drink by the kids more times that I dare remember. No harm has ever come to it.
I remember the first time I had that pad and when I took it out the box the plug fell out and hit the screen and at times the cursor did veer to the left at times.
There was a slight mark, while I didnt bother with it after 6 months thought I really should have returned it to the shop at the time and said its faulty but in the end guarantee ran out and when I sent it to nintendo they couldnt fix it under their terms unless I paid 150 quid.
In the end I sold it to GAME which they tested it under no problems but just wondering if second hand is visable.
