Thank God they didn't think this was E3 worthy.
Exactly what I came here to post.

I knew I shouldn't have paid for tennis. This will eventually be able to be gotten for around $15, a little more than 1 sport.
Euro version already got announced I thought.
I bet they will still spend precious minutes of the digital event talking about it
Aren't the games $9 each on the eShop?

The only game I have paid to download so far was Golf. I was going to eventually buy them all, but now I don't have too. I'll just get the retail version and save me the HD space.

They are or were 9.99 each; which ironically makes this boxed set a better deal even though it's not.

Discs are not free. See also: Super Luigi U (I guess in that case you can argue that stand alone DLC discs are rarely the same cost as the DLC itself).
But yeah I feel it is a bit of a hard sell for what will be perceived as an 8 year old game.
You'll notice they're releasing at the end of the month. So NoA still hasn't overcome its phobia of July releases

The price makes sense given the eShop prices. If you want all the games you're technically getting a deal.
That said, it's still a hard sell at $40, regardless of the extra features.

As some others have already said, $10, which means you're basically getting one of the sports free when compared with the eShop versions.
Wii Sports was amazing because it was free and just so simple and fun. Marking it up is insane. They should have let users pick one free sport with the purchase of a Wii U and made the rest like $3. They'd make plenty of money that routeno one in their right mind is going to pay $40 for this.
I played the trial version last night and it was fun but there is no way you can convince me that's worth $40.

With the online and improved gameplay and modes $30 would be acceptable but $40 is too much when weaker sports like boxing (I just can't see how this will be improved while using a Nunchuk) could make up such a large chunk. I've also felt $10 a piece digitally is too much as well.
The problem is Nintendo last Wii Sports sequel, Wii Sports Resort was a much better value. At $50 containing a $20 motion-plus it had 12 sports. This included better versions of golf and baseball along with table tennis as a semi-replacement for tennis. Other standouts for me included swordfighting, frisbee, and archery. This doesn't include the aerial or water sports.
Not having more sports does warrant the $40 price tag.

For real.
iirc, I think Nintendo said Baseball and Boxing would be sold together as a bundle for $10

Would buy for the $25-30 this might actually be worth (still have my copy of Wii Sports), not $40.

Try 20 minutes as someone from the Treehouse meticulously covers the batting physics of Baseball.

This will sell horribly.

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
No doubt in my mind that this will be mentioned in their digital event.
