Worst Wii Bundles Ever

For a limited time only. Buy now!

July 2, 2009 - We're not exactly sure where the motivation for these come from, but a quick search on GameStop today led us to some pretty hilarious Wii bundles.

The guys over at Destructoid threw this link around earlier, but we simply had to weigh in. Those retailers will try anything to sell such a low-demand item like Wii, right? I mean, if it wasn't for that set of three rubber ducks…

Nintendo Wii with squirting rubber ducks? I'm sold!



This one comes with some sort of tatoo arm band... thing. That helps when playing Carnival Games, or so we're told.



This one is for all those kids out there that bought a Wii and were pissed at it's lack of squirt gun.




Don't get us wrong though. We're not about making fun of a helpless corporate entity like GameStop. That's just mean. Instead, we figured we'd give them a hand by lending a few of our own top-notch bundle concepts. Check them out.

Wii is the top selling system, and Fallout is a best selling game. This one should sell like hotcakes.



Nothing says after school fun like a hollowtip round.



Free rat poison with every Wii? Who says you can't play videogames and help around the house at the same time?


The first three bundles are currently available for order. As for the last three… well… we'll have to let legal work that out with GameStop, but keep your eyes peeled for them real soon.





Lol, that's shameful. Wii sales could die cause of these garbage deals hahaha. I mean a tattoo, really?

Burst?

I see a whole new bubble bath coming



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

yea seriously, i dont see any bursting here



That's right, rubber ducks may save the Wii at end, I'm sure sales will skyrocket with these bundles, after all people are clamouring for these items!

Confirmed that Wii only sells because it's bundled with rubber ducks or tattoos. Sony should bundle the PS3 with food, and it will see increasing sales, food is essential.

If the bubble of the best selling console (ever? - I remember reading this somewhere but not sure) bursts, does that mean that the other consoles are flushed through the toilet?



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

Speaking of Gamestop does anyone know how much they pay for pristine used Wii consoles. I have to say Nintendo burst my bubble at E3, and if I can sell it for some store credit, and get some more games for my 360. I would feel like it was less of a waste.



Wow. Bubbles are bursting all over the place.

we buy wiis for 130 dollars. we also buy wiimotes for 18 dollars a piece (store credit)

what games do you have? i could give you an estimate of what you are looking at. (even though i STRONGLY disagree with selling a wii for a 360)

How did the Wii burst your bubble? 

Is it because they didn't show off that creepy virtual kid, Milo?

Why don't they bundle Wii's with Walkmans? That would be a killer.
