Holy hell, bring this bundle to US and I'll buy a WiiU this holiday.

Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

UK Nintendo fans can pick up a fantastic deal this month on the Wii U. Nintendo will be selling a ‘Mario Mega Bundle’ for £299.99. The bundle games with a premium 32GB Wii U, New Super Mario Bros U, New Super Luigi U, Super Mario 3D World, a red Mario themed Wii Remote Plus, and Mario Hat. My reaction: Hot buttered Popcorn, THAT’s A DEAL! Grab yours here! .

.

This by far is the best value in gaming this holiday season. You basically get three free games, a free hat, and Wii Motion Plus. Thanks Gryphonofmight for the tip!

Give me a 300€ smash bros bundle when it releases.

299 GBP = $485 US ... so it's really not *that* great of a value.

$299.99 for NSMBU Wii Bundle
$59.99 for Mario 3D World
$39.99 for Mario Wiimote

Is $85 cheaper. UK customers are getting hosed.

I don't know why Nintendo never leverages Virtual Console games in these bundles. Throwing in, say, Super Mario Bros. 2 preinstalled costs them literally nothing, and adds value. This bundle has a lot in in it already, just throwing that out there, though.

My thoughts as well. I'd even go further really, pre-install Nintendo Land, 5-10 VC games and 1-3 eShop games (or download codes). Not only will value appear higher, it'll get people familiar with the eShop and indie titles.

This bundle is great though and it'll be hard for me to resist buying it :P .

Good deal, although Luigi hardly counts as a separate game.

this is where your very very wrong my friend, it might be DLC but its is own game.

Because it's in a case? At best it's an expansion. I'm sad to see that word go.

the game has the same number of levels (80+) and gameplay is different, some could argue NSLU to NSMBU in comparison is much different than NSMBU to NSMBWii!

They are separate games even if DLC. What game you kno does the same? (im talking about a game that changes gameplay+ plays a different aspect of the game+ has the same amount of content as the original game)

An expansion would require the original content to play the new content. Think Heart of the Swarm to Wings of Liberty.

I can go out and but a Wii U without NSMBU, yet still play through and enjoy NSLU. Its a standalone title.

This is not going to change much when the PS4 is releasing for 350.
Also the PS3 has an offer on where the 12gb flash one is selling for 129.

No way is the Wii-U selling here.

Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st
