The Splatoon and Mario Kart 8 Wii U Bundle Leads the Way in UK Cyber Monday Deals

Some decent game discounts, too

by Thomas Whitehead Mon 30th Nov 2015

The shopping madness of Black Friday and Cyber Monday ends soon to be replaced by the vagaries of Christmas shopping. Yep, it's all one big spending bonanza.

The themed occasions like Cyber Monday can throw up some decent deals, however, and what started out as an article pointing out a tasty Wii U bundle discount in the UK has morphed into another list. Below are some of the better deals we've seen out there that are running today, though we plan to scout around and add to the list as the day wears on.

The links will take you to the external retailer page, so if you click on them after today - 30th November - then you'll naturally see higher prices. With that said, let's get to it.

Please note that some external links on this page are affiliate links, which means if you click them and make a purchase we may receive a small percentage of the sale. Please read our FTC Disclosure for more information.

Any tempting deals there, or are you holding off for now? Let us know.

100 quid for a XL with Pokemon is such a bargain how does everyone in the world not snap up these offers???

£209 is great for a Wii U with two of the best games going, but it's the price it should have been at RRP a year ago

Some nice discounts, but I feel they should have cut the price of New 3DS too... Not enough people own one, and not enough games are made for it.

@Great_Gonzalez B/c some people don't want to buy technology that was made obsolete by a "new" model 9 months ago. The newer screen tech really does make a difference, as does the extra thumbstick.

Really wish Nintendo would have called it 3DSn - n could have stood for NFC or nub - like they did w/ DSi. I think i was for internet.

Since the 2 games are already pre-installed on the Wii U ,I take it that huge update is no longer needed and the firmware will be up to date?

@OorWullie great question, my brother bought one last Christmas, from Santa, as did my sister-in-law, and I took them both & did the major updates in my house so they wouldn't have to worry about it on Christmas morning. I have another sister-in-law looking to get the Splatoon / MK8 bundle for this Christmas. I'd imagine it's up to date, anyone know?
