You can pre-order it now in Holland as well, the 'regular' Mario Kart 8 bundle, for €299. Would be really strange if the price for the US was $350.

People are surprised Nintendo isn't in the race for marketshare anymore? At this point all Nintendo needs to do is actually make money off of the Wii U. That's the best they can do with such a toxic console.

Yes, but the problem is that they already cut the price. It would be stupid to raise it just because it is now packed with a more desirable game and nothing else. If it's the mega bundle we see in the UK, then it would make sense. Consoles become cheaper over time and don't see price raises without added features (such as a PS3 with extra memory). And that's true of even the most successful consoles. Nintendo didn't say to themselves "hey this Wii is on fire, let's double the price and watch as people keep buying it anyway" even though that might have been true for the first year or so.

The point is.. What a nice console bundle.. damn.. (imo Nintendo has a winner here)

Can't understand why all the WiiU haters come in this tread and start talking (i'm nice) about price.. you don't even want the console.. ?

So we're forbidden to talk about Nintendo's market decisions on a sales site, just because we don't want the console? How selfish is that?

It's more like spam.. And we have seen the following many times.. we know XXX see it that way.. cant see why some have to say the same again and again.. (and frankly.. don't understand why VG allows that..?

1. WiiU is doomed

2. WiiU will only sell XXX

3. XXX will not help Wii-U

4. XXX Nintendo decesion is wrong

5. XXX game look like shit

I think VG mostly allowing the same persons to say the same over and over, is becourse it gives some traffic in the forums.. but in the end a lot of Nintendo fans (who wanna debat nintendo, not arguing whit Nintendo haters) will leave the side.. and it give a very wrong picture (mayby some are paid haters)

BenVTrigger said it'll be $350 for the U.S., and he's said to be a reliable source. Makes perfect sense as I can't see Nintendo throwing all that stuff in for free.

I don't doubt him necessarily, as he seems like a trustworthy guy with a good rep around here. It's more the fact that people are discussing his insider info on a thread regarding the European bundle. Some of us came in here expecting a conversation solely about confirmed information, and over half the posts seem to be about this other topic. It seems to me this and that aren't necessarily equivalent.

I totally expected there to be some general MK8 bundle talk before coming into this thread!
