Forums - Nintendo - Japan Gets Wii Hardware bundle/New 3DS Color

I just saw this posted on gonintendo

 

On June 23rd, Wii Sports Resort and the blue Wiimote + will be bundled with the system (2 Wiimote + per system now).

On July 14th (same day Starfox releases) a red 3DS system will be available.

What do you think about this news?

My impression: not enough for the Wii. A price cut is needed, but it seems like that won't be happening until closer to the holidays in Japan.

I think the new 3DS color is a good move. It comes at the end of this 2nd batch of software releases and should keep the system from losing whatever momemntum it has gained for a little while longer.

Whoop di do for the Wii's new colors. Not gonna push it over PS3.

3DS on the other hand, it's much welcomed. That red is sexy



meh... whatever. Still not getting a 3DS, and still nothing for Wii...



Until you've played it, every game is a system seller!

It's not a price cut, but at least they're giving more with the Wii now. Before this it was 20,000 yen for a Wii system (standard 1 controller and NO GAME). Now it'll be the same price, but at least you get the WSR bundle with it, which is about 5,000 yen or so by itself, so it's effectively a 5,000 yen price cut without actually lowering the price.

Glad to see another color is coming out, though I wish they would release even more for it. Maybe my girlfriend might want a 3DS now, as she wasn't into the Blue (the color I have) nor the Black one.

that red 3DS looks really good




Yeah i think they'll leave the pricecut for a more strategic time. 3DS new color is way too early and it seems to me someone's desperate
