Oh, well if that's case, maybe it is better they stop making the bundle, haha...

It kinda makes sense. There is a Pokken bundle releasing in March to replace the Splatoon one. Besides they still have the Mario Maker bundle as well. Probably they don't want too many different bundles available at the same time.

Nintendo underestimated splatoon, they didn't think splatoon would sell out of its shipment so fast.

I mean compare it to mk last year and you'd see why

They did long ago. Iwata said in 2014 that they need to produce more Wii U systems to reach their fiscal year 14/15 goals.

Was the Splatoon bundle a "limited edition"? If they said it was limited in availability, they're not really able to produce anymore regardless, though that never stopped companies doing that in Western Markets.

Maybe it's to do with margins? They were shifting old inventory so it was worth bunding software free, but now that they've cleared it out it'd create a bigger loss on the balance sheet? (remember they offset losses already to early Wii U hardware in a write down).

Nintendo confuses me sometimes!

Because no logic is more fun.

There's nothing confusing here. The WiiU already has SMM and #FE bundles and the Pokken bundle is coming out in March! Besides, Splatoon is going to sell very well even without the bundle.

I guess that makes sense, to encourage the other bundles to sell. Just thought it would be silly to not make more if there's demand for it until those other games come out. Yeah, didn't expect Splatoon to be so succesful!

Nintendo manager 1: "It sells well, what should we do?"

Nintendo manager 2: "I dunno. Let's stop producing it?"

Nintendo manager 1: "Sounds good."

Everybody:
