Topic: What new bundles should Nintendo use with the Wii?

Posts 1 to 20 of 30

As we can see, some people are wondering how we can help increase sales of the Wii, most have suggested a price cut. However, Nintendo will not be doing one, so we need to have another option. Now this isn't another "How to make Wii fly off the shelves" thread again, but just to discuss good bundles for the Wii.

Personally, I think we should have five different bundles. Here are the ones I'm talking about:

1. Wii/Super Mario Galaxy bundle. Comes bundle with two Wii remotes and one Nunchuck.

2. Wii/Wii Sport Resort bundle. Comes bundle with two Wii Remote controllers, two Wii MotionPlus accessory, and two Nunchuck.

3. Wii/New Super Mario Bros. Wii bundle. Comes bundle with two Wii Remote and one Nunchuck.

4. Wii/Mario Kart Wii bundle. Comes bundle with two Wii Remotes, one Nunchuck, and a Wii Wheel.

5. Wii/Wii Sports bundle. Comes bundle with two Wii Remotes, two Nunchucks, a Classic Controller, and a seperate Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection manual. The Nintendo Wi-Fi manual discuss it's features and how to connect to the Internet.

6. "The Hardcore" Wii/Super Smash Bros. Brawl bundle. Comes bundle with two Wii Remotes, one Nunchuck, one Classic Controller, a Wii Point Card, and a seperate Nintendo Wi-Fi manual. The Nintendo Wi-Fi manual discuss it's features and how to connect to the Internet.

7. Wii/Wii Sports bundle: Same as we have right now.

Nintendo should do a price cut on the last bundle and make it cost just $200. The rest should cost $250.

What bundles do you suggest?

(Watch for Nintendo Life members bash this thread, telling me that I'm wrong, as this thread turn into chaos.)

It would be nice to see the Wii actually have new bundles. I'm surprised Mario hasn't been boxed with it in some form already.

The only one I could ever see happening would be #2.

I rule when it comes to games. So deal with it.

That's a nice list you've made there. Untitled

The only ones I see happening are 2-4, but if I had to choose one the the six bundles, I would say #4 but just substitute the nunchuck for another Wii Wheel.

Are you trying to be sarcastic or something? Because if so, you're failing to get your point across.

They can't not include a Nunchuck, cause if it still came with Wii Sports, as well as a Second game, well, it would be kinda boring to play boxing. You wouldnt! I think they would include Game + 2 Wiimotes + 2 Nunchucks then anything else that is needed for the game its bundled in.

I'm glad this thread didn't turn into a "Super Smash Bros. Fan 1999 bashing thread, due to his stupidity." fest.

Oh and I added another bundle. Please check at the first post of this thread.

Well, it's frankly cause this isn't a stupid/outlandish idea.
Also, any of those bundles would be way more awesomer if they came bundled with a black Wii instead.

They should bundle Action Girls Racing with the Wii.

Oh come on, be serious here.

Everyone knows bundling the Wii with Ninjabreadman will sell more. Duh!

Well, if Nintendo is so against a price cut and Capcom is so set on making Monster Hunter a huge US franchise (I think it can), then I'd like to see a joint Capcom/Nintendo Bundle with Monster Hunter 3...with the Black Wii

Oh...this is my reason! This would establish a copy of MH3 in every home that purchases a WII which, IMO, would be a great way to immediately establish this franchise. I know other MH's have been released in the US, but come on, MH3 with the Wii? This becomes a flagship franchise.

They only had one Gamecube bundle right? The Pokemon XD bundle. It was a special edition Gamecube, so I don't think they would do it unless the make a special edition Wii.

The Game.

Is it after 9PM EST? You should probably ignore the above post.

One problem. Nintendo has never had an third-party bundle in the United State before, even thought we did see one in Japan, I wouldn't count that happening in North America, since after all, most Wii owners are casual gamers.

@RandomWiiPlayer: Actually, I think there was a Super Mario Sunshine bundle for the Gamecube, you just might not remember. Thus, it would make sense that Super Mario Galaxy gets an bundle too.

considering the Wii at the moment only comes with one wiimote, if Nintendo were to go with any of these bundles, they'd probably end up raising the price, which could be a turn-off for consumers who don't care about WSR. that aside, i could see #2 happening, though they would have to raise the price of the bundle even more to cover the included M+es.

and also considering that the Wii has not been sold at a loss yet and even with the PS3's price-cut, it's still cheaper, I doubt Nintendo would be willing to cut the regular price. if they can still make money off of it, they'll milk it for all it's worth, just like any other company would.
