My memory might be off, but haven't Mario Kart Wii been bundled with the Wii for ages? So has Wii fit and Mario Galaxy. NSMBWii and Brawl are the only ones of those games which from my knowledge haven't been bundled with the console (except Wii play but that was bundled with a controller).


u are wayyyyyyy offf. MKwii just started to be bundled and only in Europe as of yet, nsmbwii this holiday season.....the others havent been bundled.

You don't live in Europe i take it? Since i know for a fact that Mario Galaxy and Wii Fit has been bundled, just wasn't sure about Mario Kart.

They may have been bundled by some retailers but there haven't been any official Mario Galaxy or Wii Fit bundles by Nintendo. And Mario Kart Wii is bundled since last week or so, Mario Bros. has been bundled for 3 weeks.

My girlfriend is very actively looking to purchase a Wii system. We haven't seen any official bundles for those games before.

I saw that on shelves in an electronics store this friday (Sweden) if thats not official then i don't know what is. I have also seen a white bundle long ago with just Wii Fit and a balance board, but couldn't find an image. There was also a SMG bundle however it was just a regular Wii package with a sticker in the upper right corner which said Mario Galaxy included.

Sorry I forgot to mention the Wii Fit bundle. Nintendo made Wii Fit, Mario Kart and Mario Bros. bundles for this Christmas season. It has been released just two weeks ago or so.

Prior to November 2010 there haven't been any official bundles besides the Wii Sports (Resort) bundles I think. The Mario Galaxy bundle you saw was a bundle made by the retailer probably.



Continuing the discussion from before we started nitpicking about what non-bundled means.

This week saw quite an interesting turn of events. Mario Kart Wii outsold New Super Mario Bros. Wii in EMEAA. By 181k to 179k, but nonetheless, tieing New Super Mario Bros. Wii there now? This definitely makes it seem like Mario Kart Wii might sell more in EMEAA than New Super Mario Bros Wii will (from now on and out, not cumulative). Mario Kart Wii is also up 35% year on year in EMEAA.

The bundle there has really made a change. In fact, the Mario Kart Wii bundle is the most popular bundle in EMEAA, it seems.

Mario Kart Wii is also selling more than New Super Mario Bros. Wii in Japan all of a sudden, with 15k against NSMB Wii's 13k.

Additionally, there's no bundle for Mario Kart Wii in America. Yet, Mario Kart Wii made 117k there this week. That's down just 6.4% year on year.

Mario Kart Wii is now up 14% year on year worldwide. I would say that it selling as much from here on out as it did last year is likely. That's 1.6 million. That would put Mario Kart Wii at 25.6 million at year's end.

I'd also say it seems likely that MKWii will sell more from here on and out in EMEAA than NSMB Wii will. Either that or roughly a tie there seems likely. Japan should be a tie from here on out. That means New Super Mario Bros.  Wii will need to catch up 5.6 million in Americas alone. That's going to be quite a feat to do on the best selling game in Americas this gen so far (barring Wii Sports and Play).
