There is only one console to be sold per customer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The various stores contacted said that customers have already been phoning in and enquiring about the special, so this might really be one for the early movers.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_54548\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Wii-U-32GB-Premium-bundle2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-54548\" class=\"size-full wp-image-54548\" alt=\"Wii U 32 GB Premium Pack\" src=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Wii-U-32GB-Premium-bundle2.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"539\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-54548\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wii U 32 GB Premium Pack<\/p><\/div>\n<p>For more SA gaming specials, be sure to check <a title=\"MyGaming gaming specials\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/tag\/gaming-specials\" target=\"_blank\">MyGaming\u2019s gaming deals roundup every Friday<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In other Nintendo news, the company just announced a run of three Sonic games exclusive to Nintendo platforms:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/54155-sonic-exclusives-heading-to-nintendo-platforms.html\">Sonic exclusives heading to Nintendo platforms<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Thanks to Toxin for spotting this.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More SA gaming news:<\/h3>\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/54484-sa-animation-school-offers-advice-for-aspiring-game-designers.html\">SA Animation School advice for aspiring game devs<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/53690-bt-games-stands-by-bioshock-competition-winner.html\">BT Games stands by BioShock competition winner<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/pc\/53982-sa-game-rooks-keep-hits-steam-greenlight.html\">SA game Rooks Keep hits Steam Greenlight<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toys R Us introduce a limited time mega-price-slashing special to Nintendo\u2019s 32GB Wii U console<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":173,"featured_media":54543,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[10138,21,73,4808,2752,5793,5794,10137,10136,1399,9963],"class_list":["post-54541","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","tag-gaming-special","tag-headline","tag-nintendo","tag-nintendo-wii-u","tag-sa-gaming-market","tag-sa-gaming-news","tag-sa-news","tag-special","tag-toys-r-us","tag-wii-u","tag-wii-u-console"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54541","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/173"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54541"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54541\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":54545,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54541\/revisions\/54545"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54543"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54541"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54541"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54541"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
