Product notes
Nintendo Wii U WUP-010 Gamepad with Stylus And Stand
If you already own a US Wii U and your gamepad has gone missing or won't sync, the Nintendo Wii U WUP-010 Gamepad with Stylus And Stand is the direct replacement. It's an OEM Nintendo gamepad in black, comes with a stylus and stand, and pairs wirelessly with the console. The unit is used but working well, so expect normal wear rather than a fresh-out-of-box look. The catch: it doesn't include a charger-only the gamepad, stylus, and stand-and it's a US model, so it's intended for a US console. This is the focused option here, but it only works if you already have the Wii U system to pair it with.
Nintendo wii u deluxe set 32gb Console And Accessories
The Nintendo wii u deluxe set 32gb Console And Accessories is the complete offer in this group and the only one that gives you the actual home console instead of a peripheral. It's a black 32GB Wii U deluxe system for the US/Canada region, and the console and gamepad have been checked and are working, with all of the accessories shown included. That makes it the easiest way to jump into the Wii U platform in a single purchase. It's also used, so expect a pre-owned unit rather than a sealed box. You'll need to buy separately if you want the game that normally ships with this deluxe bundle, because it is not included here.
Hori Piranha Plant Camera Nintendo Switch 2 Super Mario BRAND NEW sealed
The Hori Piranha Plant Camera Nintendo Switch 2 Super Mario BRAND NEW sealed is the only camera in this group and a playful add-on for a Nintendo Switch setup. It's a wired, multicolor Hori camera, and it arrives brand new and still sealed. If you want something fun and easy to set up next to your Switch, this fills that role without much commitment. The limitation is that it's wired, so the camera has to stay connected to the console rather than being picked up and moved around. It also won't replace your regular controller; it's an accessory for a specific kind of playful session.
PowerA Advantage Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch 1/2 - Mario and Friends
The PowerA Advantage Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch 1/2 - Mario and Friends is a well-equipped option for Switch players who want more from a gamepad. It's a multicolor controller with a Mario and Friends design, and it includes Hall Effect thumbsticks that help avoid stick drift, plus mappable Advanced Gaming Buttons you can program mid-game. Those are practical upgrades if you play a lot of action or competitive games on Switch. The trade-off is its condition: refurbished, with packaging that may be unsealed or damaged, even though the controller itself is new and unused. If you can live with the packaging, this gives you a strong set of control features.
Final recommendation by use case
- If you already have a US Wii U and need the gamepad, the Nintendo Wii U WUP-010 Gamepad at $69.99 is the purposeful buy.
- If you want the full Wii U system, the Nintendo Wii U deluxe set at $145.00 gets you the console and gamepad together.
- If you have a Nintendo Switch and want a playful extra, the Hori Piranha Plant Camera at $25.99 adds a camera to your setup.
- If you have a Nintendo Switch and want a more capable controller, the PowerA Advantage Wireless Controller at $43.95 is the controller to grab.
Whichever system you own, the right accessory is the one that fills a specific gap. The price spread from $25.99 to $145.00 shows how different these four items really are: a camera, a replacement gamepad, a full console, and a controller with extra controls.
