Nintendo gets around to bundling Mario, Luigi with Wii U
“Obviously, Nintendo is doomed,” says Michael Pachter, probably
On the heels of a recent fifty dollar price cut and a limited-edition Zelda-themed system bundle with Wind Waker HD, Nintendo have announced their next salvo of savings in the battle to get people all frothy about Wii U: a bundle featuring New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U on one disc included with the system. Truly, this is our 9/11the Year of Luigi.
The new Mario & Luigi Deluxe Set will replace the Deluxe Set that features Nintendo Land, available since launch, at retail. In addition, Nintendo Land is getting an MSRP drop to $29.99, only a tenth of what the system costs. What a steal! Both of these things happen on November 1st, which conveniently is the day new Wii Remote Plus controllers themed after Mario and Luigi also hit retail.
The only downside to the bundle? No bright green case for *Luigi U*. I’m more conflicted about that than a grown man should be.
