Redesigned Wii Mario Bundle for US on Nintendo gaming news, videos and discussion

Initially only announced for European consumers, the redesigned Wii will be coming to North America in a neat bundle on October 23rd.

The slightly smaller Wii sits only horizontally and now lacks the ability to play GameCube games and connect GameCube controllers. It will be releasing in black, and for $150 you get the sleek little console itself, plus a Wii Motion Plus remote controller, New Super Mario Bros. Wii and a limited edition Super Mario Galaxy soundtrack CD.

The current Wii model package containing Mario Kart Wii will still continue to exist on shop shelves for the same price and in black and white colours.

Last week, Nintendo revealed a bundle for the same updated Wii console for Europe, albeit in a Sonic blue finish and packaged with the latest Mario & Sonic Olympics game.

A new wii with no ability to play my GC Games? No can do... I don't remember if I liked the music in Super Mario Galaxy though. The game was fun. ;3

Wait what? The Wii already costs $150, I thought the whole point of this was to introduce a cheaper model. Wtf is the point of paying the same price for removed features? Hell, if you get a Wii without Mario Kart it's only $130. You guys sure you got the pricing right?

It is indeed $150 according to the many sources I've checked. My only guess is that they'll knock the price slightly closer to Thanksgiving/Christmas.

I'm waiting for them to announce the Soundtrack as a new item on Club Nintendo. I've got 800 coins for the deluxe double CD edition that I will gladly part with if given the chance.

@justonesp00lturn: The whole point is that you're getting New Super Mario Bros Wii which is still $50 at retail and all kinds of awesome AND the Super Mario Galaxy soundtrack which has yet to be made available in any way in the Americas.
