Nintendo Wii News | Controller Plus Game Bundle

By Karn Spydar Lee Bianco 15.09.2006 11

Update: Europe will receive the same bundle but with Wii Play and controller.

There have been concerns ciruclating regarding the price of the Wii controller (particularly when bundled with the numchuck addition) leading to a higher-price package for multiplayer gaming. Well it seems Nintendo is more than aware of this fact and is determined to present some viable alternatives!

According to IGN Wii, Nintendo plan to release a bundle in Japan that consists of the Wii Remote controller and the Wii launch title Hajimete no Wii (My First Wii), a collaboration of mini-games similar to Wario Ware. The two items will be priced at 4800 yen, a lower price than the average price for a standalone Wii game (5800 yen)

In the same news peice, IGN revealed that Nintendo are expected to bundle expansion packs with certain new games if their requirements are too much for the Wii.

I hope so, too. I hope the controllers aren't that expensive, maybe they bundle Nunchuck with Wiimote for a reduced price?

I find your lack of faith disturbing!

Guarantees the opening scene of the game is some guy whizzing up a wall


Mike Gee of iZINE said, "...The Verve, as he [Richard Ashcroft] promised, had become the greatest band in the world. Most of the critics agreed with him. Most paid due homage. The Verve were no longer the question mark or the clich�. They were the statement and the definition."

new games if they're requirements are too much for the Wii.
Just stuck out at me, should be "their" not "they're".

Sounds like a good deal though.

Gods in His Heaven. Alls right in the World.
