Forums - Nintendo - What Reggie is going to announce at VGC Spike Awards will be...

A Wii U - 3DS BUNDLE

My reasons to believe this:

1.) There is a PS4-Vita Bundle. We are seeing how Nintendo is going against two powerful consoles by releasing their best games in the same day. During the PS4 launch, Mario&Sonic at the Winter Olimpic was released and the Skylander Wii U bunble (these two didn't sell well but it was a bold move) were launched. We still don't know how the Zelda and Mario are doing against the XBOX ONE, but I can clearly see Nintendo not fearing them at all. And seeing how both games were recieved fantastically by the gaming media, I see Nintendo doing it again.

2.) Bussiness wise it makes sense. Wii U is not selling, but 3DS is killing it. Some may be in the fence with one or the other, but a bundle like that with Super Mario 3D Land and Super Mario 3D World will be like an meteorite crushing Earth. The Wii U is getting good games, and good party games this holidays while line-up for 2014 aims for a good fight. There is no need to mention anything about 3DS, you know what it have.

3.) The 3DS and Wii U account fusion is begining. By not announcing the date of the update for the 3DS it makes me believe that is the same as the VGC Spike Awards. Doing that by announcing a bunde will let the consumers know that Nintendo is serious about online this time around, even if late. 

These reasons may not be strong as to convince others, but this is what I want to believe right now. If Nintendo doesn't do that, no problem. I have no expectations mainly because Nintendo has never released a console-handheld bundle (correct me if I am wrong on this one, but there is nothing I remmber from the late 80's).

Share your opinions and comments, keep it gaming only. 

Thank you!

well i do think a 500$ WiiU-3DS bundle that includes both versions of Smash bros would be cool.
but i think it'll be Zelda U.



Reggie isnt going to turn up at some videogame award show full of trailers for new, exciting videogames only to show a bundle.

i don't know about that, releasing Mario&Zelda in the same day, and also the same day as XBOX ONE was not expected by anyone neither. So I am not sure about not doing it..

The purpose of that is what? Making the 3DS less appealing?


is that the same thing gamers are saying about PS4-Vita bundle?

It's either Zelda U or a new "mature" IP, deal with it.

It's what any sane gamer would say, yes.

well, let it be then. It is not gonna happen, happy?



I think Nintendo should do what they did for that one insane Nintendo Direct ages ago, announce a shit-storm of new games which includes a crazy OTT crossover that know one saw coming.

i don't think so. It doesn't even have a release year, that will be better than the bundle. But considering that nobody watch that Awards, I don;t see that happening, nor the bundle neither. 



He is obviously teasing the new Metroid game for the WiiU and there will be hell to pay if I don´t get what I want !
