£299? Not many savings there given the standard Mario + Luigi bundle is £250, you're basically getting a mario themed Wii mote for £10?

Nice to see them trying with loads of bundles this holiday.

Their release date for SM3DW around the world is poorly chosen tho, 22nd in US along with Xbox Launch, 29th in Europe with PS4 launch ...

I'm not sure why getting a Mario game on shelves in time to increase the console's value versus the other consoles that are launching is a bad idea.

Because the attention is not on it, remotely. Xbox and PS wll be dominating headlines in national and gaming news.

The problem with that strategy is that it will have the same impact as when GTA IV killed the Wii.

The Wii U and the PS4/One were never going to attract the same customers anyway.

PS: I'm looking forward to the Wii U pulling 1.5 million + every week until january to meet John Lucas' prediction.

And all without Japan which is seemingly dropping week on week ...

750k a week in the US here we come, that will break ALL records known to man xD

I suppose you'd suggest they wait till after the holiday to release their game?

John Lucas's prediction for the year is for the fiscal year.

Not January guys.

Basically he expects nintendo to sell 8.5 million WiiU's

I dont know how many WiiU's will be sold when it opens in Brazil next week.

Im worried about Media create for next week.... sigh.
