... So you're going to ignore the fact that console came out with a ZombiU bundle?

This is a great move. It's the unloved cheaper model, but kids won't care. Skylanders is very popular, if Nintendo can present themselves as "the" place to play Skylanders, that's a good thing. As said above, a COD deluxe bundle would be great. Nintendo really needs to push the 3rd party titles. Everyone knows the Nintendo software is there, they need consumers to be aware that there is a lot of 3rd party stuff too.

Agreed. Great move. And I think Nintendo already has gone a long way toward becoming the place to play Skylanders. I remember reading an article on Forbes not too long ago that spoke about how Wii is still crucial to the success of Skylanders, despite its age. The numbers were pulled from VGChartz, so take that report with a grain of salt.



I agree this bundle will attract families and kids- my question is; can you load any disc based game w the amount of storage in the Wii u- how will typical family feel about adding external storage (how would the typical family not need it?



You just love trolling dont you^

Nintendo was trying to get the enthusiast gamers on board at first. Too bad they didnt have Rouge Squadron X Wing Edition.

Damn Disney.

They designed two trashy systems in a row, thus they had to sell both of them at a loss. That's the same thing Sony and MS do, so yes, that is a bad spot to be in.

This is pretty normal. It is called marketing. X360 and Xbone are bundling third-party FIFA 14. I see little desperation here. This happens all the time. There are PS4 bundles and PS3 bundles.

Actually there are "bundles" in every aspect of sales. I got a years free insurance and tax on my car "bundle". I don't think the company that makes my car are desperate. Supermarket do "bundles", my iPhone was "bundled".

When the wii was selling a gazillion a week all those years ago I got mine in a bundle - some silly third-party party game I can't even remember. What desperation?



now, give Watch_Dogs, CoD and DK bundles

I truly hope this is sarcasm.

Edit: Oh god it's not.

PS3, PS4, XBox 1, 3DS and Vita all confirmed to be in a desperate situation.
