It's no secret that Wii U isn't having all that great of a time of it lately, but with Nintendo throwing together a pair of great new bundles, there hasn't been a better time to make the jump (at least if you live in Japan).
From October 31st, Nintendo will introduce two new Wii U bundles to its homeland. The first bundle will consist of the 32GB Premium Wii U console, plus New Super Mario Bros. U, Wii Party U, a Wii Sensor Bar, a Wii Remote Plus, and 30 free days of the official Karaoke service. This will retail at 32,800 yen.
The second bundle includes a little bit more, consisting of the 32GB Wii U, New Super Mario Bros. U, Wii Play U, the Sensor Bar, a Wii Remote Plus, 30 days of Karaoke, but also Wii Fit U and the Fit Meter. This will cost a little bit more at 34,000 yen.
For context, the standard 32GB Premium Wii U system launched in Japan at 31,500 yen. All the bundled games in these sets come pre-installed on the system.
Nintendo has yet to announce these bundles for any other region, but each seems to offer great value, so fingers crossed.
