When will the Wii U get a price drop and how much?

If Nintendo was me they'd drop the price to $250 in November and then release a SSB4 bundle for $270. Or maybe one with the gamecube controller adapter for $280.

Then in spring start bundling the next games for $250. Keep that most of the year so that there's a $250 Zelda bundle come late November, then drop the price of the console to $200 by the end of February 2016.

I dunno, seems like a mostly reasonable pace. I can't really see them cutting the price faster than that. I guess they could do straight up $250 Smash Bros. bundle this holiday and drop to $200 by end of 2015 with a special edition $230 Zelda bundle.

I think a below $300 bundle with SSB is a good idea, though, and almost necessary. $250 should pull people in.

i think they will phase out the NSMBU bundle and drop the MK8 bundle to $299 plus add in a Smash Bros bundle as well for the holidays. These will be the 2 main bundles for Christmas.

Wii U Deluxe w/Mario Kart 8+Wii Remote+Wii Wheel-$299

Wii U Deluxe w/Smash Bros U+Gamecube controller+Gamecube adapter-$299

Also I think they will do the free game promotion again when Smash Bros releases. Mario Kart had the option of NSMBU/Pikmin 3/Wind Waker HD/Wii Party U. The choices for Smash Bros should be Mario 3D World/DKC Tropical Freeze/Wii Sports Club/Nintendo Land.
