Forums - Nintendo - Wii SKU in UK to be replaced by Wii + WSR/WS1 & Motion +....(Rumor)

New UK Wii bundle leaked

 

Current SKU replaced with new bundle including both Wii Sports titles and Wii MotionPlus

A retail source has told MCV that the UK will shortly unveil a brand new Wii hardware SKU that will replace the current bundle incorporating Wii Sports.

The source has not, however, been lead to believe that the new bundle will be any cheaper than the current offering, meaning that the UK could yet miss out on the price cut arriving soon in North America and Japan.

The pay-off, though, is that UK gamers are set to get a lot more included in Wii’s basic hardware SKU than consumers overseas.

The new bundle will include the console, a WiiMote, one nunchuck controller, a MotionPlus peripheral and copies of both Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort.

It’s the first time that either MotionPlus or Wii Sports Resort has been officially bundled with the Wii console.

NOT BAD at all......instead of a price cut maybe we get MANY more games in the bundle & Wii Motion +....a saving of £30

Do you think THIs is a good move? (I think bundling motion + is a very good move)



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Good way to make M+ more of a standard.



If true, yes I think it's a very good move.



Very good move. Especially since Resor is so much more fun than the original

And it will encourage the developers to make their games with MotionPlus in mind, as they can be assured that people own it.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

cool, good news for other gamers here in the UK

I need to get Wii Sports Resort at some point myself

Nice..although given the weak pound I wouldn't be that surprised to see a price increase to £199.

Still..the more MotionPlus units there are in the hands of the public the better.
A Black Wii SKU in the same format couldn't hurt wither.



Fantastic. Pity they seem to be doing a totally different move in the US...



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

About time! That's what we need instead of just a price cut. I'd say they should offer three different Wii sku's. An M+ sku with Sports resort (like this one), a Balance board sku with Wiifit and some sort of "hardcore" bundle. Maybe with Metroid Prime Trilogy.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Instead of 'Hardcore' bundle, I think a New Super Mario Bros. Wii bundle sounds about right.  Would harken back to the NES and get LOADS of buyers from all stripes of gamer.

Yes! I've been waiting for something like this to happen, the Wii is becoming more and more attractive as we speak
