    Saw this on hukd.

    Used Wii u console for £99, plus add £2.95 for direct shipping to Irish address or free shipping to the UK, Parcel Motel etc.

    Some concern about the fact it is graded C condition, but 12 month guarantee on it.

    "Why pay £99 for a legit console when you can pay £800 for a PC powerful enough to run a broken emulator!"

    Grade C in console language = heavily handled by a child. Got that from personal experience myself. If you have money to spare its worth a punt I guess but don't hold your breath. Its a great console with some amazing games.

    And re: emulator. My 500 euro laptop runs Cemu in 1080p (higher res than 90% of wii u games) without problems.

    will it run Breadth of the Wild at a playable frame rate (the only game wii u game really worth playing). no it won't. you'll currently need a €1000+ rig for that.

    Ah here. It's the best game, but not the only game.

    well not a lot are wii u exclusives - available on pc and other consoles.
    things like the mario games are very similar to ones that have been out before - I find mario games repetitive - it peaked with mario galaxy.

    Playable frame rate, "no it won't"? What are you on about? I have it and Breath of the Wild looks and plays gorgeously on Wii U.
