Time to buy a Wii U, what do I need?

That wouldn't help. Because so few people trade in their Nintendo games, he'd only save $5 per game.
Amazon has Hyrule Warriors new for $48, Smash Bros new for $49, and I see Bayonetta 2 is $37 used. Mario Kart 8 is $42 used.
That's likely the best you're going to do outside ebay. Nintendo games just don't resell much, so when they do, the discounts are minimal. I just accept that I'll be paying full price for Nintendo stuff most of the time and buy my other stuff for less when I can.
But ya got no games--unless you bought one of the bundles.
Well, I did buy some games, and will be getting more soon, though at the moment no multiplayer games (or at least none that are online multiplayer)
Mind_The_Moose is me, I just haven't been able to use the WiiU lately as my dad's couch-bound until he's recovered from his surgery.

Miiverse is the name for Nintendo's on-system forums. Most games have their own sub-forum. You can use Miiverse while playing a game to post messages, draw a picture, post a screenshot; Mario Kart 8 even lets you link to Youtube videos after you upload replays from the game itself. It's pretty cool, can help you out if you're having an issue, and as shown above, can lead to hilarity.

Well, there's 99 Gamers but I've only heard a little about it, and one vlogger's good experience with it is not really enough to base a recommendation on.
I love 99 gamers. I've used it to both sell and buy about a dozen games now and have yet to have a bad experience. Most of these were Canada to the States.

When I worked at best buy really the only games I could get at discount were used versions which ended up being some arbitrary cost they assigned to them + 5%. Occasionally when new games came in on the truck, the games we took in as trades rarely came back to our store, their cost was set very low to where I could buy them for about 5 dollars. I always checked with my GM before buying them at that price but managed to get quite a few that I knew I'd never play but could't pass up for the price, knowing I could flip them around.
Also in terms of buying you can buy the coins you need to get a game at a rate of 1 coin to 1 dollar I believe. If you see a cheapish game and don't want to trade to get the coins there is always that route. Prices used to be reasonable, I haven't looked lately, but since the seller places them they can get a little high depending on what it is.
