The Wii U has been struggling mightily to attract sales since its release, and Nintendo has upped its production of quality titles for the system in order to build a strong library for the console. Now, Nintendo is releasing three new bundles for the home console in Europe to try to build a fan base in the market, and these bundles could find their way to North America if they become popular enough, according to IGN.
The first bundle Nintendo is offering is the Mario & Luigi Premium Pack, which was available on Nov. 8. This bundle will include both New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U with a black Wii U with 32 GB of storage and a black GamePad to match the console.
The second bundle Nintendo will release on Nov. 15 is called the Wii Party U Basic Pack, which is aimed more towards families looking for a console as opposed to more hardcore gamers. A white Wii U with 8GB of storage will come with the bundle, along with a Wii remote plus and sensor bar. Two games will come in the bundle; Wii Party U and Nintendo Land.
The third and final new bundle for the Wii U is the Just Dance 2014 Basic Pack that will come out Nov. 22. This bundle obviously will come with Just Dance 2014 along with Nintendo Land. A white Wii U with 8GB of storage and a white Gamepad with a Wii remote plus and sensor bar.
These three bundles do not have a price set by Nintendo, as in Europe the company does not set a suggested price for their hardware and rather let each retailer set their own price.
It will be interesting to see if Nintendo brings one or all of the new bundles for the Wii U will come to other markets. Nintendo recently released a Wind Waker bundle that includes the HD Remake of the classic Legend of Zelda game along with a Wii U and a GamePad for North America, so they may wait to see how successful that bundle is before the company decides to release more. In addition, Nintendo may want to add new bundles to reflect popular third party titles coming to the console such as Call of Duty: Ghosts or Watch Dogs.
