Should Nintendo re-launch the Wii U with a lower price or more value to bundles? Poll inside.

I think they should do it this August when Pikmin launches. This definitely would work better than putting their relaunch in front of speeding train that is the X1/PS4 launch.  They should also include a playable downloaded demo of Mario 3D world, Wonderful 101,  Rayman Legends etc.  Honestly, Nintendo's weakest link is their marketing, their engineers and software designers  are very good but they have crappy marketing!!!

I thought it would have been very cool if they had released the Best Buy demos to every Wii U owner during E3. They were so close, and that would have won it for them easily. I swear the first to figure out how to line this up has a guaranteed E3 win for that year.

As for August, I'm not sure Pikmin has the power to push a relaunch. They really might have to wait for the Kart / Smash combo, but at least that is pretty much guaranteed to make an impact.

Too late to wait for Kart and Smash. I think it would be too late for even 3D world as the PS4/X1 would have launched.  It's better to strike before the competition is here.  It's like preparing for an invasion; you don't do it when the frigates and carriers are on your territorial waters before setting up your missle batteries.

Yes, but they needed something to strike with. This entire year should have been a head start and a chance to get a leg up on the competition, but pretty much everything ended up delayed. I would say they have a good shot if the PS4 & XB1 have a similar slow first year, and they come out swinging with 2 of their best in early 2014. 

Also, if they go with August they risk being overshadowed by something great at Gamescom.
