I am just waiting for a better bundle to be released myself. Nintendo land seem a bit of pointless title for me to own frankly. I would happy with bundle that include any of following games: New Super Mario Bros. U, Pikmin 3, X or Super Mario 3D World. I suspect after the Monster Hunter bundle their should hopefully be limited edition Wii U with Pikmin 3 released as well fingered crossed.






Not interested in zombiu then?








Not really a fan of the western realistic style games and I suspect Zombie U will be one of those games that can be pick up for next to nothing in the future anyway. If the Wii U had bundled New Super Mario Bros. U instead of Nintendo Land with the system, I would probably have Wii U by now. Especially when the Premium Bundle have been on offer at £200 quite few times already in the UK.

You will probably be ok then. Am pretty sure there will be a SM3DWorld bundle December time.

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

If this thread is anything to go by, Nintendo would have had quite a few more sales if they dropped the price of the Wii U by $50 and released Mario Kart for the holidays.

On the one hand, NO MOTHER, NO BUY!

On the other... X, Wonderful 101, and Bayonetta 2? Maybe buy!

You mean Bahamut Lagoon? I'm glad someone made the effort since Square didn't. That game is amazing.

But Earthbound already had an English release. Are you thinking of Mother 3? That's the one with a fan translation.

With the 2013 line-up - No.

Maybe, maybe after Smash Bros, Mario Kart 8 and a $100 price drop. So late 2014?


If you mean a 200$ wii-u i don't think you'll see one till 2016 at the earliest. 

I think it will be sooner than that. $50 cut this year and discontinue 8gb then in 2015 cut to $200, also i think its possible it will be $200 on black friday 2014.

totally disagree.  They won't drop the price this year.  They already have the lowest priced console on the market for next gen.  They're releasing a bunch of games in the not to distant future.  They'll take this oppurtunity to try to move units via software.  1st price cut in 2014, second in 2015.  If the 8 gig does get discontinued that will bring the price down to 250.    but we'll see won't we.

It may be the lowest, but valuewise it's very poor compared to a much more powerful PS4 with 500gb harddrive for only $50 more.  

Dropping Nintendoland in favour of Super Mario 3D World might help the value proposition but likely retailers will include a game or two with PS4's anyway. 

Also PS3/360 which plays the same multiplatforms will likely get a cut when the new systems come out further eroding WiiU's value proposition.

I figure they'll need to do at least a $50 price drop or get crushed this holiday season.

then i guess they'll get crushed this holiday season.  The only thing you may of missed is that nintendo never campains to the gamer.   It's commercials are always more aimed at joe consumer.  Also, it's main competition, price wise, will be ps360.  But, i don't think you'll see any marketing towards those consoles this holiday.  So, if played correctly and with some luck, nintendo will make the general consumer think that their machine is on the same level as xb/4 and simply the best value.  That's my take anyway.  If there's a price drop this year (retail controlled price drops not counting)  i'd be absolutely shocked.

Im starting to think ur right, Iif anything we'll see bundles at the same price but with more value.

32gb w/Nintendo Land-$299

32gb w/NSMBU+Luigi U+Wiimote-$349

32gb w/Wii Fit U+Balance Board-$349

Maybe $50 less during the holidays and if they keep around the 8gb, it could be as low as $199 this holiday. I also hope we see a bundle with a core game, AC4, COD or Watch Dogs plus a Pro Controller for $349.
