Raise your hand if you miss the classic Wii. We sure do.

When I was a kid, the console was a staple in my household. From Animal Crossing to Wii Sports, I distinctly remember playing on the Wii until my eyes burned. The console was and is one of the greats, in my humble opinion. With the introduction of the Wii U and Switch, however, the console became practically obsolete, and was eventually discontinued in 2013. For those of us chasing the magic and nostalgia factor of the Wii, we’ve got a deal you’re sure to love.

Right now, Amazon has a refurbished white Nintendo Wii Console available for $112.94. It comes with all the bells and whistles needed to play, including the Wii console, 2 Wii remotes, 2 nunchucks, 2 Wii remote jackets, sensor bar, Wii AC adaptor, Wii AV cable and a controller charging dock. Two rechargeable batteries for your controller are also included.

This bundle deal is great for those looking to play on a system for cheap, especially considering some newer consoles retail for more than $500 without any inclusions.

This console is family-friendly, amounting to endless hours of fun. The console’s age also means that finding compatible games should be pretty easy and cost-effective, too. You can play some pretty impressive titles on the Wii, from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess to Mario Kart. The playable options are endless.

This deal comes at a perfect time, especially considering a new Wii-compatible Guitar Hero controller was just announced in January. The Hyperkin-made ultra-nostalgic guitar-shaped controller can also be purchased on Amazon and currently retails for $72.99. This controller is compatible with both Guitar Hero and Rock Band games on Wii consoles.

In other Nintendo video game console news, you can preorder the new Nintendo Switch 2 now via Walmart. The innovative setup is set for release on June 5, and currently retails for $449. The Switch 2 boasts three play modes: TV, tabletop and handheld. The console also features a larger and more vivid 7.9” LCD touchscreen with support for HDR and up to 120 fps. Plus, you can get the gaming console shipped to you for free if you’re a Walmart+ member, with delivery by 9 a.m. local time on launch day.
