I've read quite a few posts saying that NSMB:wii will drive wii remote sales but I was wandering if having to buy extra wii remotes might put people of, Because it is marketed as a multi player game and all the adverts are focusing upon the multi player mode people might think 'well I don't have enough wii remote's to play it with 4 players anyway' and it might effect sales. So this brings me to the question should it be bundeled with the wiimote?

And give the Wii haters the excuse of "it only sells because of the pack-in!"? No way.

No.

Any particular reason?

i hope so, but only if they didn't bump the price up too much. cos im a student ;_;

For all my whining about lack of wiimote, bundling one would make the cost of the game way higher, and making one SKU of the game with Wiimote and another one without, would cost stocking issues i'd imagine. Better to buy wiimotes separately.

That wouldnt be too smart.

There really is no need for that, I believe.

Bundling like that is for when people do not have the hardware at all, to make them familiar with it. And everybody has a Wiimote.
