This bundle at $300 would make me strongly consider buying a Wii U this holiday. I would love to be able to play SM3DW.

 

[NolbertoS]

As much as I'd want a bundle like that, I'm pretty happy with my Zelda bundle

 

[Lexxism]

That NSMB U Wii U bundle is coming to US apparently. Which means Canada too! Oooh so tempting.

My friend sent me this.

Looks like the bundle will also come to NA?

 

[equippedwithtowel]

Stealth confim for Wii U karaoke in NA?

 

[Erv]

So those rumored colors are confirmed to be false?

I don't see the bundle mentioned in the Target ad.

 

[Erv]

It is in the ad, Follow the link

I did. The story is obviously wrong. It *may* be a NSMB U bundle, but it doesn't include Luigi U like the story implies -- since it is advertising Luigi U right next to it for $30. The ad itself doesn't say much of anything except have an image of NSMBU on top of a Wii U.

That's the EU boxart. Notice PEGI.

...buuuut on the disc case in the Wii U shot Luigi U looks like it's bundled.

They can sell a game separately for people who already have the Wii U, after all.

Awesome bundle. NSMBU is the best 2D Mario since Super Mario World, and Super Luigi takes that template and makes it even crazier. Between this and Wind Waker, nobody can go wrong getting a Wii U this holiday.

Didn't notice that on the NSMB U casing. Still, that ad is poorly designed to advertise a bundle.

True! But it's also weirdly specific not to be advertising a bundle so I'm gonna err on that side.

It literally says "+ Super Luigi U" on the box, and it's titled "Mario & Luigi Premium Pack" on the front.

Why is there no 3D World bundle announced yet?

 

[Raw64life]

If these come with physical discs I will buy one immediately. I don't understand what's taking Nintendo so long to confirm or deny this bundle for the US.

 

[WatTsu]

My guess is that they want to sell the game on its own so all the new Wii U buyers buy it too.

SM3DW will probably be in a bundle next year.

 

[Dereck]

I need that 3D World bundle doe

 

[Yanikun]

Of all the times to not have money, it had to be this year.

But anyway, employers will call me any day now.

Any day.

[ZombiePlatypus]

Pretty sweet bundle if real. I honestly never thought I'd say this, but WiiU is looking like the top contender for me this holiday. Even with the other consoles in the picture.

 

[BrokenFiction]

This is the one I've been waiting for. Let's close this deal, Nintendo.

 

[enigmatic_alex44]

does this point to a possible NA release of NSMBWU and the Luigi expansion on one disc just by itself? Or this is just a disc for the European market?

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Did you conveniently miss the posts 4 minutes before you posted this?

Yes, because this board doesn't update in real time. I put in my last response, saw your earlier post and replied to it while doing stuff in other tabs. Your post came after that. I wouldn't have seen it unless I randomly went back and hit refresh.

 

[WatTsu]

If you haven't seen it already, it's official.

Anyone picking up this bundle now that it is out?

I couldn't fight the urge anymore so I I bought one on Saturday and have been having a lot of fun playing NSMBU. Incredibly stoked for 3DWorld in a few weeks. I know the system is struggling but really if all I ever play on it is NSMBU/NSLU, SM3D, Pikmin 3, Donkey Kong TF, Bayonetta 2. Wonderful101, Earthbound, Castlevania IV and MK8 then I think I got my money's worth. Anything besides that is just a nice bonus.

 

[Dog Problems]

Yeah, I got one on Friday but the GamePad was defective so I returned it a got another one on Sunday. Bought The Wonderful 101 along with it.

Having a lot of fun with New Super Mario Bros. U

Like every Nintendo console there'll be about a dozen amazing games by the end of the system's lifespan with a smattering of some good B-tier offerings as well. I think that's more than fine.

 

[Troll]

My stores don't have it in yet. Still on the prowl. Going to get pikmin with it.

 

[ConradCervantes]

Bought it on Friday. I've dabbled with NSMBU, but I've really gotten a kick out of play Super Mario Galaxy 2 on the Gamepad screen. My girlfriend thinks I'm a giant nerd for doing so, however.

 

[Richie]

You fellas that bought the bundle, what are these so called "Bonus Videos"? Thanks in advance.

You can play super mario galaxy 2 on the gamepad? Without having to use the wiimote? If so this might be enough to make me buy a wiiu, I really hate the wiimote and would to play wii games with real controls. If I am reading your post right, can all wii games be played on the gamepad without the motion controls?

Negative.

Have to use the Wiimote.

I apologize for not elaborating further: you will in fact need to continue using the remotes and nunchuks. The last system update simply made it possible to output the Wii image to the gamepad screen.

Gamepad and Wiimote and Nunchuck controls (like a little TV). And those are the real controls for Galaxy.

 

[CaptainGyro]

They have stuff like tips on how to get extra lives in levels and complete the challenges. They are basically like the videos you could purchase with the big coins in NSMB Wii I think. I haven't actually watched any though because I don't want to be spoiled, but I have seen the titles of them

Ahh, okay never mind. I could never stand the wiimote controls so it would have been huge for me if I could play every wii game I wanna play with the gamepad. Oh well.
