Nintendo should make a Wii U bundle with crazy value

[HylianSwordsman]

I love how the original post was about bundles, and half the posts in the thread are a discussion about Nintendo doing their own version of PS+, when nothing of the sort was mentioned in the OP.

The megabundles sounds like a great idea to me. The trick is how. If they have a bunch of physical games, it'll take up a lot of space. Retailers might not want a huge box taking up lots of shelf space, so they might order less of the bundle. If they go digital, there's the issue of space. I think they should make a version of the Wii U with extra space, but all the extra space is taken up by digital versions of Wii games, games that have never been digital before and aren't available digitally anywhere. They'd all be installed on the system, and still leave the same amount of extra space as the original Wii U had after the included software. So essentially, VC Wii games. Since they aren't gonna sell much physically anyway at this point, it won't hurt sales much. As long as there's still the same amount of free space, there's no lost value there. There's added value in that the games aren't available digitally anywhere, and it doesn't stop them from releasing them digitally next generation. Furthermore, it would be an opportunity to patch games with multiplayer online to work with the Nintendo Network, and hopefully next gen it'll transfer over to the next system easily, giving the games more value than ever since the online portions will last longer.

Wii U Megabundle: Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, Zelda Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mario Kart Wii, Super Paper Mario, Metroid Prime 3 (save Trilogy for an HD remake), Other M (why not, it's certainly not going to sell copies otherwise), NSMB Wii, Mario Sports Mix, Mario Party 8, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Kirby's Return to Dreamland, Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story, Pandora's Tower, Punch-Out!!, and to top it off, a Nintendo published game never before released outside of Japan, Zangeki no Reginleiv. Basically a game about Ragnarok of Norse mythology, it's a hack and slash game that uses the Wii Motion Plus to allow you to target specific body parts to cut off. Supports 4-player online co-op. Very bloody. Would probably do better in the west than it did in Japan, and would benefit from the Wii U's better processing, as the original had moments of slowdown in areas with too many enemies.

Bundle comes with these 20 games preinstalled, a WiiMotionPlus and a Nunchuck, and the Gamepad, sells for $300.

Smaller, $250 bundles could be released without the Nunchuck, and with a smaller, more targeted selection of 10 games. One would have the Mario games, the Kirby games, and DKCR. The other would have everything else. One is for younger audiences, the other for older audiences. Anyone even slightly Nintendo curious would have to be stupid not to get one of the three bundles.
