Yeah our walls of text are getting way too big so I'll drop this. If this were Paper Mario we were fighting over though, I would never stop! xP

Thanks for this, I was too lazy to search through foreign sites. So it's just as I thought. NoA probably made the Guard bundle the only option because let's face it, Guard wouldn't sell otherwise. |
I didn't bother looking it up because it doesn't really matter to any American Wii U owner how Nintendo Europe purchases its games. Here, this is being sold as a $60 package.
I think Nintendo was pretty clearly worried that there would be backlash from reviewers or gamers if they tried selling a shorter, arcadey, on rails experience in America at retail price. Better to throw in Star Fox Guard to make it a fully tricked out, fully priced, content filled retail package. I've seen plenty of other games go the opposite route: throw in a bunch of fluff modes or time wasting game play elements in order to pad out the experience. With Star Fox Guard being packed in, we are effectively getting two individual games designed to be fun on their own terms at the price of your average retail game. I definitely prefer this method.

Fair enough. I already said I was dropping this. So yeah, I'm taking my leave from this particular discussion as of now.
Good thing I don't care much about Paper Mario. While I'm not especially pessemistic over Color Splash, if it's as much like Sticker Star as it initially appears, I will be disappointed. I really wish Nintendo would make something more akin to Thousand Year Old Door.
