REDMOND, Wash., Oct. 23, 2013 – Nintendo is launching a new Wii U Deluxe Set that puts the focus on value, and highlights the two biggest names in video games: Mario and his brother, Luigi. Available in stores on Nov. 1, the Wii U Deluxe model will come with two games –New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U – all on one disc. The new configuration will sell at the low suggested retail price of $299.99, and replaces the existing Wii U Deluxe Set, which included Nintendo Land. For fans who want to experience the uproarious fun of Nintendo Land, the game can still be purchased separately in stores and as a download in the Nintendo eShop at a new low suggested retail price of $29.99, also beginning Nov. 1.

The beautiful, limited-edition Wii U Deluxe bundle that comes with a download code for The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, a gorgeous GamePad controller adorned with art inspired by The Legend of Zelda series and a download code for a digital copy of Hyrule Historia is also still available at a suggested retail price of $299.99 while supplies last.

"Mario and Luigi are two of the biggest heroes in video games," said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. "This new Wii U configuration gives people instant access to not one, but two of the most well-received Wii U games. It's another example of the tremendous value and variety that Nintendo is offering consumers this holiday season."

New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U are two of the best games on Wii U. The games offer players two separate platforming adventures – one starring Mario and one starring Luigi – each filled with dozens of creative levels. Both Mario and Luigi control differently, giving each game a distinct feel and challenge. Both games showcase the refreshing originality and game play that can only be found on Nintendo systems.

Remember that Wii U features parental controls that let adults manage the content their children can access. For more information about this and other features, visit http://www.nintendo.com/wiiu..

This should have been the launch bundle.



Please excuse my bad English.

Currently gaming on a PC with an i5-4670k@stock (for now), 16Gb RAM 1600 MHz and a GTX 1070

Steam / Live / NNID : jonxiquet    Add me if you want, but I'm a single player gamer.

Ooooo I know what my kids are getting for Christmas.



This is what I was waiting for.... Now, ima wait for a good Thanksgiving day offer, and Ill be set. Finally getting a Wii U this year



It's for the best tbh, Nintendo Land didn't have the appeal of Wii Sports. Best stick to your old guns then!

Great deal guys! And Ninty Land for $30= A steal ! great game!



Nintendoland was a terrible concept. Not a bad game, just a theme that isn't appealing. It should have been the game that targeted non-Nintendo fans and adults like Wii Sports did, but as soon as you hear the name "Nintendoland", it screams nerd. Focusing on Mario fans with the new bundle is a much smarter move. A Wii Sports Club bundle would be even better.

This confirms that even Nintendo recognizes Nintendo Land as a failure. Permanently replaced and dropped in price after less than a year. Too bad that the other failure (the console itself) can't be shoved out of the way.

All i see is a NEW bundle.



I'd buy one! Hope it comes to Europe as well!!



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Awesome deal. This should definitely move some consoles.

I recommend Nintendo Land as a supplementary purchase to anyone getting this bundle. Lots of fun and huge replay value.
