I disagree.  3D World has very little of the exploration that 64 did.  3D World feels more like SMB3 or World extrapolated to 3 dimensions.  Still an amazingly fun game, but not quite as good as the others in the series;


i know it has little exploration but so did galaxy.

the level structure in 3D World are very similar to mario 64 bowser stages and Rainbow cruise.

 

I think its better than galaxy 1 - 2 and just as good as 64.

(sunshine is the worst 3d mario by far)

I love these bundles. Hopefully they boost sales. Is there a release date for them?

For the SM3DW Bundle is states available in mid-September.  As for the MK8 bundle I don't know.

These bundles are like a small price cut. Whether you want NintendoLand or not, this is a pretty good deal.

Galaxy didn't have a lot of exploration, but it definitely had more than 3D World by far.  Sunshine actually had the most exploration.  3D world is actually my least favorite of the 3D Marios even though I did like it alot. 

 

On topic, Nintendo is missing an opportunity by making the MK8 bundle walmart exclusive.  Dunno what the logic behind that is.

Great, these will help. I think these will both sell better than the existing SMBU bundle.

I don't know why.  Hmm...maybe they have an agreement with Walmart?

I agree because SM3DW is just a better game and MK8 has a wider appeal to the masses in the long run.

It was already going to pass 10m (and 11m and 12m) in 2014. the bundles will just help push it faster.

Walmart probably came to Nintendo with $$$$$$$ and Nintendo couldn't denie. Walmart probably see the potential in a bundle like this with Smash coming out. Many people who buy smash will probably be more interested in getting Mario Kart 8 than the other bundles. So it's a smart idea for them to pay a little extra to get an exclusive like this. For Nintendo, they also make a little extra on the Wii U which they desperately need.

Obviously there was some transaction.  It might be money, but it aslo could involve more prominent in store placement, more real estate devoted to Nintendo, and so on.  At any rate though, I don't see how Walmart could offer enough to offset the benefit of having the bundle featured at other retailers, most notably Gamestop.
