Currently Nintendo is running a Wii U Deluxe bundle promotion that will get the purchaser the console with a game for $200 if they are willing to buy refurbished.

The shipped back and fixed consoles are guaranteed by Nintendo to work, and feature 32GB of hard drive along with a physical copy of Nintendo Land. However, the package does not include controllers.

According to NintendoLife, these Wii U's qualify for the Deluxe Digital Promotion which is currently taking $25 of the console.

"The Wii U Deluxe Set is now available as an Authentic Nintendo Refurbished set only from Nintendo, and it comes with our standard one year warranty. Although it may have minor cosmetic blemishes, it is guaranteed to be fully functional. We think you will find the standards for Authentic Nintendo Refurbished Products are VERY high," reads the Nintendo website. "This refurbished Wii U Deluxe Set includes everything you need to start playing right out of the box."

Important to note is that a refurbished console is not eligible for Club Nintendo Coins.

The Wii U is regularly priced at $300, and it is unclear how long this promotion will run for.
