| Soundwave said: NSMBU is the main pack in game, think of Wii Party U + Wiimote as just an extra throw in. I could be wrong but I think this is the first time Nintendo has bundled a Mario game with a Nintendo console in Japan. Usually Nintendo never does that in Japan, but desperate times call for desperate measures. |
I actually think the inclusion of Wii Party is a pretty big deal. First off, remember that Wii Party was very popular. About 8 million in sales. Secondly, Nintendo NEEDS to show that the Wiimote/Gamepad multiplayer is worthwhile to consumers. They tried to do this with Nintendoland, but that didn't quite work out, so Wii Party is trying to fill that void. Mario is obviously the bigger draw, but Wii Party U isn't just a throwaway. It's an important game for Nintendo.
