VERY special thanks to marc^o^ from the NSMBU/NSLU bundle thread:

Pack is legit, it's confirmed for a November 8 release at Carrefour in french stores:
Pack WiiU 32Go New Super Mario Bros. U + Luigi U: 279€

There are also 2 new packs in Toy's R Us:
Mango Pack - 249€ 12/4
Cherry Pack - 299€. 11/27 Probably with Mario 3D World

Could we actually already be witnessing the Wii U's first proper color selection (not the been there done that black and white) come out this early on? Wii only had additional red and light blue colors in it's entire lifespan IIRC.

I have a white I got for $200 so I doubt I'll buy one, but damn it it'd be tempting!

 

[Silky]

YO MANGO

Gonna need to see a grape one. If we're doing fruits, do the best fruit, man.

 

[Kouriozan]

Good news about a 3D world bundle.

 

[Erv]

Please be red and please be released in NA.

 

[GulAtiCa]

I really want to see pictures of the Cherry Wii U

 

[sixteen-bit]

I hope they come out with a FUCK THE KNICKS version in North America

 

[Owzers]

i'd buy a 3d world bundle, i 'd be in. But if the U.S. only gets a black system with new super mario bros/luigi bros.....the wait continues.

 

[Frodo]

No green seedless grape version no buy.

 

[Ricerocket]

Cherry color sounds good. Mango on the other hand...

 

[jivran]

We won't ever get anything but black in the US, will we?

 

[explodet]

No images yet?

There are also 2 new packs in Toy's R Us:
Mango Pack - 249€ 12/4

Fuck the Knicks.

 

[Rvaisse]

The names could be only codenames.

If Cherry pack comes bundled with Mario 3D World at 299.99€
Mango Pack is listed at 249.99€, wich means no games or something cheap.
December 4th iirc is WiiFitU release date, so this pack could be the casual one, maybe with a mango FitMeter, and WiiFitU try period.

 

[MikeE21286]

And to think how long we had to wait for new Wii colors.

 

[Spiderduff]

Cherry color sounds good. Mango on the other hand...

"Can you know the mighty ocean? Can you lasso a star from the sky? Can you say to a rainbow... 'Hey, stop being a rainbow for a second'? No! such is Mango!"

 

[Shahadan]

Lmao @ people expecting colors.

 

[-PXG-]

I hope they come out with a FUCK THE KNICKS version in North America.

I laughed so hard at this. Just make a BITCH IS BLUE LIKE CANDY edition too.

the fit meter unlocks free wiifitu forever

 

[Erv]

Lmao @ people expecting colors.

yeah because that's so dumb to think

 

[Sendou]

Lmao @ people expecting colors.

Yeah Wii U is selling just fine without.

 

[GimMick]

I really doubt the "Cherry" pack could have SM3DW, since the game is only releasing on the 29th in Europe, two days after said pack.

Really intrigued by the names of those packs, though. Could be codenames, indeed.

 

[Shahadan]

Yeah Wii U is selling just fine without.

I'm sure Mango color will sell like gangbusters.

 

[Coolwhip]

Would be nice. I'd buy an orange Wii U, maybe. Or just gimme white.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Doubt they are coloured. Just sounds like codes for the bundles.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

DP

 

[Haines]

im shocked nintendo is pushing colors so early...if true, holy wow at throwing everything they can into this fall lol

 

[Shiggy]

Would be pretty surprising if they had special colours:

1. Additional colours add costs to the production line
2. Wouldn't Nintendo want to get rid off black consoles first which are already collecting dust?
3. Retailers already don't want to stock the black Wii U anymore, additional colours would make the situation even more difficult

 

[Sendou]

I'm sure Mango color will sell like gangbusters.

But it sounds delicious.

 

[PumpkinPie]

I'd be very jealous if they brought out new colours

 

[Kurtofan]

Man I wish my Wii U was Mango, black is a bit bland.

 

[KJA]

Damn it.

Should I buy the Wind Waker bundle, or should I just wait for the 3D World one?

 

[Resilient]

Mango...why Nintendo. Why.

 

[Kai Ozu]

 

[Shahadan]

But it sounds delicious.

Can't argue with that. Superior fruit. Cherry is blah.

 

[PogiJones]

How has this thread not received more replies? Assuming SM3DW is bundled in the Cherry model, this is an awesome chance for those who haven't pulled the trigger yet to do so.

Is the lack of attention just become the thread title buries the lede behind a bunch of numbers, parentheses, languages and retailer names?

 

[Opiate]

Finally, my one objection to the Wii U has been remedied; its gauche and downright distasteful lack of mango accents.

The WiiU needs more than novelty colors.

 

[Alx]

I was that close to buy the WiiU + Zelda HD pack at 300€ (although it was only for the Wonderful 101), but now I suppose I'll wait for the cheaper pack. I'd rather play Mario & Luigi than Zelda anyway, even if none of those are really my cup of tea.
Early november doesn't come handy with the release of the new consoles, though. :/

Spoiler

yeah I know, "first world problem"

 

[IAmMonodi]

Please

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

Wii U's are being bundled with fruit smoothie coupons.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Sounds delicious.

 

[Yanikun]

Wii U's are being bundled with fruit smoothie coupons.

If they came with a significant number of coupons, my wife would probably let me buy one.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Honestly I would be too jealous of the colors

 

[iammeiam]

These sound like they should be Pikmin bundles, what with the fruit theme.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Nintendo has a history of giving toys R us special hardware color exclusives it could be a codename but

there's nothing really to say yet. we kinda all had an idea that more bundles would come over the holidays. what kind of value proposition nintendo decides to offer with these things is going to be something else. do they go the bare bones approach and just put the hardware? are they preloading it with wii fit u, wii sports club passes, art academy? who knows

The TRU exclusive Gold N64 is worth a lot of money to this day.

 

[MYE]

I thought it was this?

 

[Mojojo]

I would jump on any WiiU(premium) bundled with 3D world, as you can find most of the other bundled games for cheap.
But there was another thread about 3 officially announced european bundles , so I guess it makes these ones less likely.
