Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo Releasing Wii Sports Club Bundle in Japan

The downloads must have been in a good number for Nintendo to offer this pack.
Will japanese gamers bite one more time?



Around the Network

WiiSports was THE system seller and the only single reason for casual players to ever own a console. But to the uninformed average customer, it may look like you have to play on tablet only and cannot connect your TV, how should they know?

On the Box, there should be a picture of a family or party situation in front of a TV to get the uninformed average customer buy a Wii U and everyone should know that it is a new HD capable console competing with PS4 and X1.

However, this is the first step into the right direction, the Wii U could have been a sucess if this would have been included and heavily marketed on release day. Hopfully they will shrink or drop the tablet at E3 and cut the price.



Cool idea, but seems odd not to wait until the last 2 titles are released. It is a pretty fun game overall, Motion Plus does a good job of making each game feel a bit more responsive & fun to play.

Gaming fads have a decent shelf life, but they fade out like any other fad.

Guitar Hero: Dead
Brain Training: Dead
Wii Sports: On deathbed
Wii Fit: On deathbed
Angry Birds: Peaked, Now On Decline
Just Dance: Peaked, Now On Decline
Candy Crush Saga: The Current hot sh*t
Flappy Bird: The cutting edge of fads.

That's where casuals are at right now. 

Where does COD rank on this list?

Wait, couldn't one just dl each game and play it for free for a month? Is this bundle giving the whole sports game free with no future payments required?

you can buy them permanently for $10 each. this bundle comes with them pre downloaded.


You can also rent them for $2/24 hours.

Wow. This is funny. So Nintendo is now hoping that last gens phenom will assist them now, despite the fact that the very point of the Wii U was to run away from those kinds of games, run away from the Wii Remote. Its not even a new game, just the same game with added internet connectivity, lol. That doesn't make you guys laugh?



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

The Wii U sells so bad that Nintendo has no choice in the matter anymore. They have to try absolutely everything, even if it goes against their core principles.

Besides, it's not like this is the first occurence of this kind. NSMBU and Wii Party U are also already bundled.


Granted, but I'm wondering what this means moving forward? Will they half ass it like they did with NSMBU? Half ass it with Wii Sports club? Or will they actually start pursuing this direction completely? Will we see a true Wii Sports Sequel?

Why on earth are they even doing that? This is gonna have the same massive impact as Wii Fit U did, have they learned nothing at all in the last 2-3 years? It's starting to get absolutely ridiculous, yet I can still hear the old "Nintendo know what they're doing" choir in my head.



It can help the Wii U sell maybe around 10,000 units weekly in Japan.

Why does Nintendo keep trying to sell WiiUs with these fads that died off years ago. Nobody is going to buy a WiiU to play something that they got bored of 5 years ago.


Wii Party U sold very well on Japan
