If they were smart they would make a NES themed Wii U, a NES controller themed gamepad, and include the 8 bit mario amiibo along with Mario Maker. They could make 100k of this model and it would sell out instantly.


Ha if they did that the Wii U would sell more than PS4 weekly. I'd buy a second Wii U as well.

Mario Maker Bundle have a high chance. There might be one for Xenoblade X if they decided to push the game, but I don't see it happening.



While I think there will be a XCX bundle, even if limited, I also believe there will be a Mario Maker bundle and it will happen first. Star Fox I think they will hope to sell on its own as a more lucrative bridge between Mario Maker and Xenoblade Chronicles X. As for a Smash bundle, who knows. They have done late-to-the-party bundles many times before :P

But the more important question is where is the dang price cut?  The Wii U should have got a $50 pricecut at the start of the summer, especially after Splatoon took off.  The Wii U needs a price cut more than a bundle or even another big game.  Right now, it is just too expensive.  The Xbox One is only $50 more and often dips even lower to within $20 to $30.  The Wii U needs to create more distance between themselves and the competition in price point.



Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

As for new releases, Super Mario Maker for sure. They'd be wise to release a special-themed NES Wii U with it, but I don't think they will.

Hopefully "Super Mario Maker". Whatever it is, it had better be at $249. A price cut is beyond past due.

Their best bet would be to drop the price to $199.99 and include a digital download of your choice.

How about a choice of NES, SNES and Wii :p themed consoles and matching controllers.
