Not sure if it would be worth it. If you really want to get rid of your Wiiu, sell it on Kijiji or eBay. Someone will buy it for $150 or more for sure. Don't give it to ebgames for them to sell it off at a higher price.

Wiiu is one of the best systems for modding. You can get alot out of the system still. Nintendo doesn't care about patching the exploits on it anymore.

OK, this thread is blowing my mind. I bought my kids a WiiU a few years back (they still use it) but all I ever heard was that it was a crappy update to the Wii, Nintendo screwed it up, etc. etc. I thought about doing this trade-in but decided not to when my son told me the Switch isn't backward compatible with our games.

I come here now and the WiiU is moddable and collectors are after it?! What can you do with it? What's CFW? I'm totally new to this modding thing for the WiiU system. TIA.

Pay someone to mod it. Or just trade it in and get a Switch for cheaper. Bayonetta 2 is coming to Switch in February. The first telltale sign that the Wii U games are getting moved to the Switch, where they belong.

The Wii U is all but dead, just like the Playstation Vita. The Switch is just as alive and active as the Playstation 4.

Mine isnt modded but my friends is, and his is soft modded. Allows him to play new and old games. He said it wasnt hard to do but i suppose you need to be a bit savvy at thus stuff.

I just got a Switch full price, and sold all the Wii U games that are on Switch (Mario Kart 8, Bayo 2 is coming soon, Splatoon & more) on Kijiji to get the Switch.

But I'm keeping the Wii U for games like Pikmin 3 which probably won't get a port, and obviously for the Wii and GameCube functionality. The Switch right now is a machine to play BOTW, Mario Odyssey and Xenoblade 2. If you can survive without those games, keep your Wii U.

I'm pretty sure i bought my Wii U for just over $200 as a refurb direct from Nintendo. I guess it has held its value.

I took advantage of this deal when they had it for Boxing Day sales (I got the Mario Edition Switch). Definitely worth it for most. I think people who have jail broken their Wii U might be hesitant to go ahead with this. Personally, the Wii U was a $200 Smash Bros. machine so the decision was easy. I kept all the GameCube adapters and controllers however as I’ve noticed they are now compatible with the Switch.

Fun fact, I asked how much they give for a Vita in NL, they said "We don't take those anymore".
