Iwata said they cannot right now. The Wii U bundle with Splatoon is going to be $300.

Fail.


Nintendo is out of touch. Bundling Splatoon so early is stupid. When people see the PS4, One, PS3 and 360 with holiday prices they will laugh at the Wii U (again) with bundles which are only $50 more for the Xbox One. If Sony drops the PS4 to $350 for the holiday Nintendo is a non-factor in every sense of the word for the rest of the year.

Iwata said that in early February, that doesn't mean it can't happen later like in mid-late September, 7.5 months after the statement.

Why is bundling Splatoon so early stupid? It's a limited edition bundle at a single retailer.

Last year Xbox One was $200 more than Wii U, this year Xbox One is $50 more than Wii U, yet Wii U is up YoY. I'm not really sure the price of the competitors has that huge of an affect on Wii U since their games don't really target the same demographics.


I will have to see the preorder charts before I even begin to believe Splatoon is popular. Nintendo needs to make their console visible as an option since the Wii U is no longer a primary console for most. Its in secondary console territory.
