If that was $300, I might be interested.

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.


Yeah I know  it costs them like 1 cent to add every  NES SNES N64 and Gameboy mario game to those bundles because its just the server dowload.


Nintendo should make Nintendo published NES and Gameboy games FREE for everyone that buys their sytems. Those games are so old they are not worth 5 dollars/euros. (some GB games like Links Awakening are because they still have great gameplay)

Make NES and GB games free (if third party insists that they cost 5 bucks it their problem) and make SNES games 4-5 and N64 games $7€ and Gamecube games $10€. This will lure alot of consumers (hey dude you have to buy a WiiU you get 100+ games for free.)

The problem is that people WILL buy games like SMB3 over and over again, so why give them away for free?  A virtual console rental service, for a monthly fee you can play so many games, might be an interesting idea.


Well by giving that away for free there will be more WiiU users and more potential  buyers for new games and third party has more reason to make WiiU games (even if they wont because userbase was always an excuse).  By giving away games with actually no value (because they are 0s and 1s not because they are old)  more people will spend money on other stuff.



Paid £199.99 for my Mario & Luigi Premium Wii U bundle recently. So extra £100 Super Mario 3D World, a red Mario Hat and Wii Remote Plus doesn't seem that great value. However it nice way to show a bit more support to Nintendo if you that way inclined. As more of the money spent on this bundle will go directly to Nintendo instead of going towards the retailers cut.
