    GameStop, the world’s largest video game retailer, announced today that it is now taking pre-orders on Nintendo’s new video game console, the Wii U. Along with that, announced titles such as, New Super Mario Bros. U, ZombiU, Call of Duty: Black Ops II and Batman: Arkham City: Armored Edition, are also available for pre-order at GameStop stores.




    As of today, customers can take advantage of special trade-in offers to go to their Wii U purchase which will be available for $299.99 for the 8GB Basic Set and the 32 GB Deluxe set will cost $349.99 as covered earlier, offers include:

    •$50 trade credit for a Wii
    •$90 trade credit for an Xbox 360 (original), PS Vita or 3DS
    •$115 trade credit for a PS3 (original) or Xbox 360 (slim)
    •$140 trade credit for a PS3 (slim)

    It should also be noted that many Wii U games have been revealed to cost as much as $59.99, though not all titles will be at that retail price. As an incentive, GameStop PowerUp Rewards members can get an additional $10 in credit for each of the trade in offers if they are applied toward their purchase of the Wii U.

      If you trade in your Wii for a Wii U, you won't be able to transfer your save data and digital downloads to the Wii U since you need both systems connected online to perform the transfer.

      This is why I didn't buy the 3DS XL.

      Also, I got to preorder it for $35 instead of $50 down payment with a powerup card between now and sunday.

      If the games and the console itself costs more than 3DS stuff, I hope its worth getting.

      The MSRP of all Wii U games is $59.99, but it is up to the publishers/developers to decide what price to sell their games at. As the cost of developing more graphical high-def games increases so will the games price and most games released on the Wii U will sell for $59.99 when they are first released, but that doesn't necessarily mean that all games will cost that much. I believe Nintendo Land will be $49.99 but don't quote me on that.

      $59.99 isn't that bad. Only $10 more when you're already spending $50, plus most of the good PS3/360 games cost that much.
