After ROB fizzled, Nintendo had only one major pack-in for the NES and it was Super Mario Bros and Duck Hunt. The SNES pretty much always came with Super Mario World (mine actually had Mario Kart added to it as well). The Game Boy either came alone or with Tetris. Other bundles were far, far less popular and typically unnecessary. The only way to improve how the Wii is selling is to leave Wii Sports in there and just add something else because I can almost guarantee that any new adpoter will be happy to have it [Wii Sports] because that's one of the games that's being spread by word of mouth--or rather, hands-on-play. If Nintendo left Wii Sports in the Wii bundle until the end of this cycle, I don't think there would be any ill consequences. Sure, they could make a Wii Fit bundle (in fact, I pretty much expect it by late 2009), but it would still be highly beneficial to leave Wii Sports in as a pack-in game along with Wii Fit. If they left Wii Sports out or replaced it, you'd end up with some disappointed consumers--at least oustide Japan where Wii Sports is a standard pack-in and now expected by consumers. Wii Sports does not need to be replaced. And Nintendo stated that there are no plans to make a Wii Sports 2. There is however, Wii Music coming down the road and that other one that was theorized to be either a new Pilotwings or some kind of spiritual successor. |
