It could still be one of many bundles along with New Super Mario Bros. U, Zombie U and maybe even Wii Fit U. Wii Sports too is boxed, after all.

Check my post again, I added another pic

But like I said...it can, but I think it's a very good package that could be sold alone. Maybe the system will come with a light version or a minor-game, but... with Nintendo land it's too much, imo, especially for launch.

Well, the same thing can be said about Super Mario 64. Bundled titles don't need to be of low quality.

Super Mario 64 wasn't bundled at launch, though.

Still, the NES and Super NES had Mario game launch bundles.  The NES had the deluxe package, which came with R.O.B. the robot, the Zapper, two controllers and two games (Duck Hunt & Gyromite); then there was the console/controller package by itself and another with SMB.  Later there was a SKU with the Zapper and the Duck Hunt/SMB cartridge and even one that just came with the Player's Guide book.

This could be a multiple SKU strategy for Nintendo:  

Basic SKU:  $249 for just the console/tablet

Bundle SKU:  $299 with Nintendoland 

Deluxe SKU:  $329 with Nintendoland and a Wii remote plus

Outstanding idea, I really hope big N goes this route.  If Nintendo starts charging $60 for their games, then the "Bundle SKU" is still a good deal for those that want 'Land. I'll take the Deluxe please!

Also, to those that think Ninty can launch a Wii U with tablet sold separately, no way that happens, they want every console sold tied with that gamepad.
