Nope. Nintendo usually doesn't start bundles until the cost of manufacturing the console goes down.

You can see the history of releases here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Entertainment_System#North_American_bundle_packages

There were times they packed in 2 games.  And they did a Duck Hunt/Super Mario Bros. bundle in the past also.


Whats your point?

People were saying Nintendo doesn't do two game pack-ins, and they had.  They did it with Super Mario Bros. in the past.

I never said they didn't. Though, Super Mario Bros./Duckhunt was a single game. I got it with my NES and I believe I still have it at my father's house.


I honestly don't remember them doing a 2 game packin either now that you bring it up.

When the NES launched it came packaged with Gyromite and Duck Hunt (two separate cartridges) with two controllers, the Zapper gun for Duck Hunt and R.O.B. the robot for Gyromite.  There was also a bundle that just came with Super Mario Bros and two controllers, but that was back before Mario had proven itself to be a sales juggernaut.  Today, I don't see them bundling Mario with the WiiU at launch... it's just unnecessary when the game will sell so strongly on its own.
