Christmas is an important time of year when it comes to selling video game hardware and software, and over in Japan Nintendo is giving the Wii U a festive push with special bundles.
The company has given recent hits Splatoon and Super Mario Maker their own hardware bundles, and has rolled out some TV commercials to make sure prospective customers are aware of their availability.
While neither title is especially new, it's encouraging to see Nintendo give both a fresh push - hopefully this effort will result in additional sales over what is likely to be the Wii U's last Christmas as Nintendo's main console.

They're both great,the Splatoon one especially.The exact same format would work well in the west too.Get Ant & Dec in the Splatoon truck instead and take it on tour and watch sales increase.Saying that,I've not lived in the UK for years so I've no idea how the pair are viewed nowadays?
I just don't get it. Why Japan has the best kind of Nintendo commercials? The U.S commercials are pretty bad. :/
Son of a b--- The truck! It just reminds me of the Splatoon pre-order incident...
Those are actually pretty well done.
Did Japan get a price drop? If their consoles only get 1 game that should be about $250 US.
I still don't think I've seen it officially announced but the Nintendo News website says the Super Splat bundle is $279 MSRP. That's not awful w/ 2 $60 games. I would Der what the average DLC per game purchase is on SSBU? We're a cheap lot in my household and even we've spent $10 on it. And Cloud is coming.
Nintendo = family-friendly QUALITY games.
Splatoon is the 21st century GoldenEye. Stay fresh!
