>http://www.businessinsider.com/now-is-the-time-to-sell-your-wii-u-2016-4
>This week — right now — is the time to sell your Wii U game console. Nintendo's most recent game console is, more or less, dead in the water. Like cars, boats, and other luxury items, video game consoles immediately start depreciating in value from the moment you walk out of the store. That much we already know.
>But in the case of the Wii U, that depreciation factor just accelerated dramatically. Nintendo announced on Wednesday that its next game console, currently codenamed "NX," will launch in March 2017. That's just shy of one year from now. More importantly, there are next to no major games coming from Nintendo (or anywhere else, for that matter) to the Wii U between now and March 2017. With the launch of "Star Fox Zero" this month, there are effectively no major Nintendo games in the pipeline.
>>335821837
>Normally, this would be where I'd say, "But there's a major video game conference, E3, in June where we might hear more." Not likely this year! Nintendo issued a press release on Wednesday explaining its focus at the show this year. Based on that, we could hear about more games coming to the Wii U, they just won't be "playable" at E3. But then again, any games coming to the Wii U between E3 in June and March 2017 are unlikely to be major games.
>With a new game console coming in the near future, it doesn't make much business sense for Nintendo to release any major Wii U games between now and March 2017. After all, Nintendo's only sold 12.8 million Wii U consoles since launch in 2012. That's roughly one-tenth the sales of Nintendo's previous console, the Nintendo Wii. Why bother making and releasing another expensive blockbuster game when you're unlikely to sell enough copies to break even, let alone make profit?
>In fact, the next major entry in the "Legend of Zelda" series — a staple of Nintendo's game line-up — just got delayed out of 2016 to... can you guess? Yep, 2017. Oh and wouldn't you know it, it's also the first officially announced game for Nintendo's new console (NX). So, yes, despite the great times we've all had with "Splatoon" and "Super Mario 3D World" and "Mario Kart 8" and whatever other games you hold dear on the Wii U, now is the time to sell your Wii U. My local GameStop is taking the more common 32GB model for $100 in store credit or $80 in cash, and those numbers are only going to drop as we inch closer to a new Nintendo game console.
>>335821837
>>335821889
What if I still have games to play?
shitting nintendo still seems to be the top clickbait
>>335822552

Never making that mistake again.
>>335821837
And then what the fuck do i play?
This is retarded
>>335822951
emulation lol
by the time nx is out it'd be in a much more workable condition for wii u
and dolphin's as good as it's ever been
I own and still havent played:
> splatoon
> wonderful 101
> bayonetta 2
> lego city undercover
Ill keep my wii u until it dies. Business insider can eat a dick
>>335821837
I am only waiting for #FE and i am selling that shit familia

>pretending a corpse is alive by wiggling it's arms
As someone who was considering buying a wii u, I'll either get it for much cheaper second hand or wait for emulation
thank god I didn't jump on a dying ship
>It's another "NINTENDO IS DOOMED" thread
Can the mods just ban these shitposters already?
>>335822951
>>335823168
>>335823428
I'm personally waiting until the next wave of Nintendo Selects.
It'll feel good to clean out the rest of the first party Wii U library at $20 a pop.
>>335821837
But there I still games that I need to get for it.
>>335821889
>Based on that, we could hear about more games coming to the Wii U, they just won't be "playable" at E3. But then again, any games coming to the Wii U between E3 in June and March 2017 are unlikely to be major games.
And why wouldn't they? Hell, I'd settle for Mario Strikers 3.
>>335823465
The article isn't about Nintendo being doomed
The article makes sense, Wii U isn't getting any big games anymore, if you already played most of its games, it's better off to sell it to someone else.
>>335823501
I'm waiting for wind waker hd or the wii u emulator to have the hd port and work perfectly
>>335823714
I mean, we're already getting Color Splash, which no matter how much you hate it, they could have easily stalled that shit for NX. I expect at least a few more "filler" games.
>>335823714
>And why wouldn't they? Hell, I'd settle for Mario Strikers 3.
>Mario Strikers 3
Keep dreaming familia, it's pretty obvious that Nintendo own't get any big anymore, most of the games in development for Wii U were switched to NX.
>>335823613
why aren't you playing video games instead of shitposting on 4chan then?
>>335823714
You'll be lucky if they even announce amiibo festival and Ultra Smash tier games this E3.

Hahahahahahahaha.
Are you feeling okay, Kotaku? You don't look good.
>>335821837
self fulfilling prophecy much?
why not keep the wii u until it's hard to find?
>>335821837
If its going to drop severely...isnt the time to actually buy one? I mean, at least it has 4 or 5 good exclusives that would complement my pc well
>>335823996
I am thinking this too
Wii U will be difficult to find in the future, it will be like a Dreamcast, some kind of rare videogame relic.
>>335823501
>butchered covers
http://mashable.com/2016/04/28/nintendo-2016-plans/
Yahoo is full of NINTENDOOMED articles today, it's hilarious
>>335824139
Dreamcasts arent that rare.
WiiU wont be either. No system that sold 10million times and more will be rare anytime soon.
Still keepinmg mine though.
>>335821837
lol who the fuck is so short on cash that they would ever do this
like why
a console isnt a financial investment, i dont expect another good mk8 or starfox game to come out soon, and i care about those the most right now of any non PC games
>selling consoles
Only console that should be sold are the ps4 and Xbox one due to their eventual iteration
>>335824068
Its what I plan on doing, if they go dirt cheap then I will get one
>>335824410
I dunno, i think you could sell your Wii U and get money for the NX.
It would be cool if NX has BC, but i doubt it.
>muh clickbait
literally cancer
May the Wii U be the next Dreamcast? Dreamcast is actually valueable and sought for now, could the same happen to Wii U in 15 years? Perhaps keeping it would be the best? And you guys should buy good, but poorly selling games while you still have the chance, in 15 years they may be worth 100s. For example Wonderful 101, that Lego game, yeah probably some other games too, may become really rare and popular.
>>335824139
>Wii U will be difficult to find in the future, it
No it won't. In as little as 5 years from now, you'll be able to go into any used shop, and purchase a complete system for $40.
Now Wii U's you can play pirated games on will be rare, if no new exploits aren't found or released. Those can only increase in value.
>>335824728
Is not. It barely costs more than what it was when released and adjusting for inflation might be the same fucking price.
If it sold 10m units its not rare and it never will be.
God fuck how I hate children collectors who believe they are getting a relic for the future when in fact if they put the money on the bank they would get more profit in the future. Not even investing on shit like shares which can be actually profitable. Just dropping it in the bank.
>With the launch of Star Fox Zero this month
>no major Nintendo games
I need to sell my ps4 so I can buy a ps4 2.0
The most important thing is what this means for people who've not owned a Wii U. If you wait for a bit longer until after NX, the market will be flooded with cheap secondhand units.

only if you really need the money.
you're losing part of your own history by doing it, just think about it.
People do know that the Wii U came out in 2012 right?
They do realize that a NX release in 2017 is pretty close to the usual cycle of a nintendo system right?
Why is it so shocking that Nintendo is trying to move on from the Wii U (which flopped) and focus on the next thing?
If anything, they've supported it more than any other company would have. Other companies would have dropped it and moved on much sooner.
>>335821837
Sell your Wii U where? Nobody wants it.
>>335821837
Nah, I'll keep mine. Still waiting for Tokyo Mirage Sessions, and I still have to play Twilight Princess HD, Dong Freeze, W101, and Kirby.
>>335821837
> SELL NOW
Lol faggot, for what? $100 if I'm lucky?
I'm not that much of a poorfag that I'd sell a console anyway.
>>335821837
Hold on, has Nintendo actually used "NX" in any of their public statements recently?
>>335825661
>Why is it so shocking
whats shocking is that you are actually paying attention to how strangers on 4chan react to things. let alone a b8 topic
>>335823105
>emulation lol
I know rite?
>>335825729
Nobody wants one at its current price. Sell your used Wii U system with games for $99, and people will gladly buy it.
>>335825998
But it's not just 4chan, everybody is flipping their shit about it.
>>335825564
the only console i kept is the snes. fuck n64,xbox and xbox 360. and i wont have any problems selling my ps4. normally i trade or sell my games after a few weeks,too. why keep a game if i played it and i got bored of it. same with a console
>>335826065

I don't have a crack addiction anon.

>>335826268
Well, if you feel you'll never touch it ever again, it's better to get a hundred bucks than let it rot in your closet until it's tossed away.
>selling a homebrewed WiiU.
Nah son,I will keep it for later,also i have HD loader on vWii.
Also, we don't know jackshit about NX.

Maybe it really is time I sell it, how would I even do that? I've never sold a console before.
who the fuck sells their consoles?
Backwards compatibility is being phased out.
>>335826504
>Also, we don't know jackshit about NX.
This. There's a good chance it won't be backwards compatible.
>>335826504
Gonna homebrew mine soon, wut's HD loader?

>>335825387
this shit sadly doesnt workin germany
>everyone sells their Wii U
>it then becomes the time to buy one
>>335826857
This. WiiU is backwards compatible with two generations if you homebrew it.
I kept my 360 just to play some of my old OG Xbox games too.
>>335826738
This. If a company releases a newer console with reverse compatibility then your old console is obsolete and sell it. But selling all your old games and systems in preparation for "the next big thing" is fucking retarded. What if you want to go back and play Bayonetta 2? Gonna wait a decade for emulation to catch up?
>>335826287

How about no? Just about every time I either sold, lost, or gave something away I've regretted it. Even some of the crappy games I acquired as a kid I'm never letting go.
>>335827162
Well emulation anon, I still own a SNES an NES a Gamecube and Wii, but they're all in their boxes sitting in my closet, if I want to play any of them I just load up the emulator, it's just better than the original hardware thanks to enhancements and it's far more convenient than having to plug in 20 different consoles at once.
>sell my Wii U
Then what the hell am I going to play Shantae: Half-Genie Hero and Yooka-Laylee on? E3 ain't even here, yet.
Nah, fuck that, I'll wait.

The Wii U is dead, selling now is the worse time to sell the Wii U if you want to make money.
Now is the best time to BUY (a second hand) Wii U
>>335827426

Gross. It's still not even as good as playing on a real N64.
>>335824145

How am i supposed to play Splatoon ?
Also i ont think that the next console is going to be backwards compßatible so i have Mario KArt 8 / Smash here for the rare occasions friends visit me and we want to play Wii U
>>335827193
This
>>335827104
Even with backwards compatibility I never sell anything because it's only backwards compatible for a generation, plus it's nice to have old hardware around for nostalgia reasons, and sometimes you might want to play the game on the original hardware. There's also the matter of where your save data is located too. If it's on a hard drive in an old console, you have to play it there if you don't want to start all over again.
>Everyone sells Wii U

> If a company releases a newer console with reverse compatibility then your old console is obsolete and sell it.
Not even, my Bone will be able to run my 360 games, but I kept my 360 because it's the only thing I can use to play Xbox games (og console broke).

Not a day goes by i don't regret selling my N64/GCN collection when i was a dumb teenager.
I regret so fucking hard buying a Wii U
I bought it with hopes that a bit more variety would grace the console with more games like X, bayo 2 and W101
If the NX isn't a fucking miracle, I'm not getting it
Not even X or bayo 2 will make me fall for it again.
>>335821837
Appropriate that my favorite spider (the Black Widow) is on that Wii U pad. Kiss of Death.
>>335828110
Why the fuck would I pay for another copy of a game I've already played, when all I could have done was just not sell the original physical copies?
Instead of buying and spending time downloading a digital copy, I can just reach into my drawer and plop it into my handheld without any delay or money spending.
But now I can't fucking do that because I was a fucking retard teenager. There's literally no reason to sell your shit for pocket change if you have a goddamn job or an income of some sort.
>Time passes.
>WiiU games cost like a leg to get a physical version.
Yeah, No.
What kind of person actually sells their games? I bought Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon from GameStop before not knowing about how it would turn out, and even though I was dissatisfied I didn't sell it, I kept it.
>>335828430
>traded in my Star Ocean 2 when I was a teen
what an idiot
>>335821837
Anyone get the feeling that the Wii U was "The Producers" of gaming? Like Nintendo made it fail on purpose to take advantage of some kind of financial loophole? I don't get how a company that's been around as long as they have and worth as much as they are manage to make a blunder of this magnitude by accident.

>>335828871
> buying a launch console for a game you can get already
What a terrible idea. Just look at the PS4 1.0 BloodBeta edition.
If history tells me anything, it's that when a game console is about to kick the bucket, that the the time to BUY, at least for games. Barring super-limited special editions, a lot of the rarest and most valuable games for game consoles were small print runs released near the end of the system's lifespan. Keep an eye out for any late-release Wii U games that looks like they're going to be cult classics in the future.
Buy it now and save yourself the pain of paying $200+ when Wii U becomes the hot retro console all the future hipsters are into.
>>335828974
I have XCX, it was a disappointment.
>>335828871
I know about that, only retards buy console early on so the wiiu version is still the best option.
>>335829060
By the time the console becomes "vintage" you'll have second thoughts selling it anyways
>>335821889

I sold my original white brick Gameboy for pocket change when I was 14, with Tetris and Donkey Kong, because I thought it was outdated and was saving up for a GBA.
Ever since I've taken extra good care of my consoles. Every single one. My old Gamecube, N64, PS2, SNES, even my rickety old GBA which I ordered new shells for last week.My trusty old first-generation DS broke two years ago and I was heartbroken
I've never sold a console or game in my life and I don't plan to start.

No money wasted if I already have my wiiu. I got all the games I want for it.
Buying an NX and then buying NX-versions of WiiU games when you already own them - THAT is a waste of money.
Wii U is either getting a IOSU or 5.5.1 kernel exploit this weekend, if you've been following GBAtemp threads
Honestly I'd just hold onto it, it won't be worth as much if you sell it as it will be as a nice little piracy machine that basically plays Nintendo's entire video game catalog minus 3DS games
>>335829747
Goddamn, that is a waste.
I'm still mad that I can't play pic related because my Xbox huge is more or less broken. Still play most of my XBH games on my 360 though.
>>335829787
Either mod a Saturn or use an emulator.
I'm just going to sell my wiiu and buy more plastic butts.
I'm done with vidya.
>>335829905
Can a homebrewed Wiiu play NES, SNES or 64 games?
I know it can play all the wii and GC games.
What are the emulation requirements for cemu, specifically for a laptop? For reference, I can run Overwatch at 1080 with no frame drops.
>>335829903
I still wouldn't expect anything on Wii U to be selling for hundreds.
>>335829787
And this is why you don't sell your consoles or games; literal value.
>>335821837
How fucking poor do you have to be to want to sell your Wii u for 150$/€.
Seriously the hours it takes to bring it to some shop cost me more in money going by my hourly wage.
>>335830069
>Can a homebrewed Wiiu play NES, SNES or 64 games?
Yes. You can inject VCs with pretty much any rom you want and it's the best form of emulation because they're very accurate. There are also GBA and DS VCs.
>>335830118
Irrelevant. The issue the amount of money wasted in this scenario, which is zero.
>>335829957
Tell me about it. I had about 3 PS2s that failed, then I bought the slim, which I honestly can't remember what happened too. That and Nintendo lost my GBC when I sent it in for repairs.
But what if I want to play Zelda 2017 but I don't want to buy an NX?
Also, what if I want to playTokyo Mirage Sessions?

When was the last time Nintendo had a good E3? I can't think of one in the past 3 years.
2012, maybe?
I wanted more local four player experiences

This article is stupid
Why does "Business Insider" think they have a say in how relevant a product is to the consumer? They are trying to apply business concepts to personal products and it's just a retarded leap in logic.
In fact, the best time to buy a console is when it is near the end of its lifespan and isn't selling so well, because the longer a console goes on, the more games it has, and the cheaper the console will be. It's stupid to buy a console on / near launch, because that's when it has the fewest games and will be the most expensive. It is also faith based, because you are just assuming Nintendo / Sony / Microsoft will put games on the console eventually (sometimes they don't).
Consider this - When the NX comes out, it will have no games, it will be at its highest price point, and only fanboys will buy the console at this point. If you haven't bought a Wii U by this point, this would be the time to get one, and get Mario Maker, Splatoon, Bayonetta 2, Smash 4, Pokken, DK:TF, Mario 3D World, etc. More games, and a cheaper console. That makes it the better deal.
The ONLY counter-argument to this, and I'm sure some 12 year old will think it's a great point, is that you don't get to play games when they're new. If this is something you value, then by all means, waste your parents' money and have them buy you a PS5, or NX, or whatever Microsoft shits out.

This. What is the fucking point of selling something you paid good money for? More often than not you won't even get 50% of the value back.
Just fucking keep it.
>>335828562
that would mean that there is a huge demand for Wii U games, there isn't and there won't ever be a demand. if anything it'll be expensive because Nintendo likes to make their physical copies expensive
>>335831223

Yeah. Ask all the Saturn fans how well that would go.
>>335831881
I'll most likely just emulate it.
Or play it on the PS2 when I find a cheap copy and can be assed to play.
>>335827881
No, now is the best time to buy because literally no one wants one anymore, and it's the worst time to sell because no one's gonna give you a decent price for it. It's pretty basic economics.
I'll keep mine.
I hear last consoles for a dead company go up in value after they go out business.

Why do you kids keep comparing the Wii U to the Saturn?
The amount of software sales on the Wii U is huge. Unlike Saturn.
You have no exclusives like the Saturn games that are worth money either.

>>335829356

He's very wrong. Even from a business standpoint, there's no incentive to selling your Wii U now.
Not only would you not get much for it, but you would have an easier time selling it at a higher price point when Zelda releases.
This is nothing but a reactionary response and that's how people end up throwing away money.
>>335832951
Because nintendo game DO get expensive with time.
There is a reason of why nintendo games have a huge attach rate.
>>335833117
>ebay reseller scum

You kids crack me up. Some retards on ebay buying up stock and then reseller that shit to idiots doesn't make the game worth money.
20 years from now Wii U isn't going to be worth money. 6th gen isn't worth a damn thing atm either.

Nothing but disdain for the Wii. One look at the archives says you're full of shit, 90% of Nintendo-related threads are exactly like this one, thinly-veiled "Nintendo is DOOOOOOOMED sell your Pii Poo!" shill threads.
Fuck, look at the catalog right now. At least two other "Why aren't you shitting on Nintendo right now ?" threads are active. Really have to wonder who pays for this shit.
>>335833475
Yup, and Witcher 3 was GOTY.
>>335833431
What the fuck you talking about. N64 games go for that much now.
>>335833492
PC isn't really a fanbase the way Nintendo and Sony are. There's mustardrace bullshit but these are mostly consolekiddies whose mother just bought them their first PC
The biggest fanbase on /v/ is still Nintendo, even if it's down right now because of all the terribly anti-consumer moves Nintendo just made
This person has no fucking idea what he's talking about.
Consoles that sell poorly and their games go UP in value over time, not down. Currently, Gamecube games at used games stores are selling for obscene amounts of money. Even common games like Melee, for example, is worth $80.
>>335833763
>Fuck, look at the catalog right now.
I know it's bad right now but the shit Nintendo pulled with its latest announcements has upset a lot of people, this is to be expected
You're completely glossing over the constant and rampant "NINTENDOMINATION!" threads that happened every minute of every day
See? I can cherry pick too. Fact of the matter is, Nintendo fanbase on /v/ is bigger than any other fanbase. It's NintendoGAF
>>335821837
Not a Wii U owner but why would you ever sell a used console? The moment you buy a console and games you will never get back the same value of money you paid for it in the first place. Only the most poorest of poorfags would sell a console with diminshing returns.

What games do?
Off the top of my head the only Nintendo games worth over $100 are maybe Conkers, Earthbound, Mr Gimmick, and that's about it. All I come up with off the top of my head.
The's 2 N64 games that are reliably over $100. That bomberman game and that worms game.
>>335833813
>PC isn't really a fanbase the way Nintendo and Sony are.
They are and the reason /vg/ even exists was because of 3 PC games.
So please keep your bullshit to yourself.
>>335834078
but what if you bought it used in the first place? I've got a refurb
I don't know why you'd wanna sell your Wii U.
We're already far enough to play backups on it, use usb/PS4/PS3/keyboard and mouse/e.t.c controllers on it, and more.
>>335821837

I'm not disputing this, but why are Nintendo the only ones that get crap for it? Sony/MS and most AAA publishers do FAR worse shit than Nintendo has ever dreamed of doing, but I don't see thread after thread complaining about it.
Amiibos are no where near as bad as $50 season passes that don't include all the DLC. Star Fox dropping to 44fps is to be laughed at, but PS4/Xbone games running at ~22fps is to be expected and is just fine?
>>335834013
Only thing that I'm upset about is the NX releasing so soon.
>You're completely glossing over the constant and rampant "NINTENDOMINATION!" threads that happened every minute of every day
Again, go look at the archive. Vast majority of Nintendo related threads have been shit like this one in the recent past.
And see above, they're pulling some shit but when compared to just about everyone else in the industry it's fucking benign and they're, once again, playing catch-up. But they're the only ones who actually get criticized for it, western pubs and Sony/MS have the media here under their thumbs. No one bats an eye over a $50 season pass and having broken, bug-riddled games with 10GB day-one patches and the games that pull that shit receive critical acclaim.
>>335834453
>I'm not disputing this, but why are Nintendo the only ones that get crap for it?
By virtue of them being the biggest fan base? If no one gives two shits about what Microsoft does, do you really expect people to complain about it? Who's going to bitch about it when no one here is affected? Likewise pretty much any AAA publisher is the same, if you haven't noticed /v/ typically doesn't give a shit about AAA games
Sony would be the third biggest fanbase after PC and Nintendo but they're significantly smaller than the first two, so when Sony pulls something like the PS4K you don't see a whole lot of bitching about it. You see a vocal minority desperately trying to keep threads bumped, but if you actually read those threads you'd realize most people don't care because most people don't own PS4s here, so the PS4K again doesn't affect anyone.
Compare to the Wii U and you have a lot of fucking butthurt Wii U owners right now, who have been butthurt for the better part of 4 years because of what a turd the console have been save for a few gems.
I said *historically* a Nintendo hug box. The Wii U has changed that quite a bit, but I think there are still more Nintendo fans here than anything else. They are just very upset right now, which is *why* there's so much shit posting.
always do the opposite of what /v/ says

>By virtue of them being the biggest fan base?
Has nothing to do with anything I said. More people buy and play the AAA games I referred to than Nintendo's games, and I'm not just talking about 4chan. They pull far, FAR worse shit than Nintendo ever does, more people buy and play the games, the media gives them much more coverage, but no one bats an eye over the shitty DLC practices paid online or broken games. Oh, but Nintendo farted, better write up some clickbait! Let's not actually address the horrid performance issues, mountains of bugs and utter lack of depth in a game like Fallout 4, 9/10! Can't wait for the $50 DLC that could be done better and for free with the mod tools they're intentionally not releasing!
It's because Nintendo doesn't play ball with the western media and the customers that buy this AAA crap have been conditioned to expect massive day-one updates that finish the game, poor performance, paid online, etc. Nintendo isn't being treated unfairly, they're the only ones facing actual criticism from the media and most players.
>I said *historically* a Nintendo hug box

Just for a second imagine someone that's entirely a slave to the "gaming journalism" industry. They would probably end up re-buying and re-selling tons of their handhelds and consoles constantly every time they have a bad game period. It would drive me insane personally.

I love how supposed "business insider" is advising to SELL NOW on a fucking $200 video game console like it's some pump and dump stock or something.
I like video games and consoles have been video games since the beginning. Even if the Wii U really is dead and becoming an antiquity I don't see any reason to sell mine. I still like to play on my dreamcast.
