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

Unfortunately, Wii Speak isn't getting more attractive as we speak  



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

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.

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.

Alright. Then 4 bundles. because while the Mario Bros. Wii bundle would definitely move a lot of hardware, I was thinking more about how Nintendo can improve the third party gaming front.

A Motion Plus bundle would get more M+'s out there and make development for it even more approachable, while also appealing hard to sports and certain hardcore gamers, a Balance board bundle would have a simillar peripheral utilization effect, but also appeal quite highly to the new exercise gamers and a "hardcore" game bundle would just help to bring in that demographic that has predominantly gone PS360. If only Metroid Prime trilogy had utlized the <M+ for improved shooting controls, it would have been the absolute most perfect shoe in for a bundle with an M+



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

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.

This is an official move by Nintendo or an internal promotion just inside the UK?

Good thing I don't care then

Or good for me at least. BAD NINTENDO!

Why don't they do this worldwide? It's more profitable than a price drop (discs don't cost much.)



 

I blame Wii Fit...+!!!

So they are including both Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort? Wow, didn't expected that.

If they want to make the Motion Plus more available they should do the same in America. I still think they'll do the same here, and the price cut will be for the old SKU.

How would M+ increase IR precision?

They'll do this also in EU and America, just that we'll pay no less than 229$...i don't understand the reason to keep inside Wii Sports: just to say "2 games inside"?
