During todays Nintendo Direct presentation Nintendo president Satoru Iwata revealed that Nintendo Land won’t come pre-bundled with Wii U systems in Japan and will in fact be a standalone title.
Not in Japan. The Nintendo brand is strong enough there to sell without any games. If you need any evidence of this, Wii Sports wasn’t bundled with Japanese Wii’s and you know how well it sold.
Interesting… I wonder if the Wii U US version will do the same. The Nintendo 64 and Gamecube launched without packaged-in games… but they didn’t have as new a concept to sell. Interesting…
Did anyone complain like this when Kirby Super Star was released for SNES? That’s the same concept – a bunch of smaller games packed into one.
I really like that some of Kirby Super Star (and Ultra)’s games (like Spring Breeze) are nice and short so I can sit down for ten minutes or so and try to beat my high score, while some are decently substantial.
It’s not necessary to bundle it in Japan. Smart move for that region. We have to wait and see what they do for the Americas and Europe. Leave luck to heaven.
Hmmmmm bad move Ninty. The Wii U needs some game to packed with

Wii sports wasnt bundled in japan either………
No worries yet, Wii Sports wasn’t bundled with the Wii in Japan either.
That… is terrible, tbh :(
Really bad move. I was excited when I thought it came with WiiU but it doesn’t have enough content for me to justify buying it.
Yeah, I think I have to pass on that one too.
Japan only! Wii Sports was not bundled with the Wii! Just wait 5 more hours before getting your panties in a bunch…
No matter, Wii Sports wasn’t bundled in Japan either. However if it does so happen to not get bundled in NA, it better have online functionality.
I knew it. I wonder if it’ll be the same in America.
I really hoped this would be a bundle…
Well looks like i have to spend more moolah on launch :)
i hope they release it as bundle in other regions.
It’s all good. Nothing critical…
I’m guessin Europe and America will get Nintendo land bundled
If this is the case in Europe, not for me thank you. I’ll stick to Pikmin 3 for my launch game.
Well, if they don’t include it here in the USA, I won’t be buying it unless I can purchase it for $20-30.

I will still be buying NintendoLand regardless.

it will be bundled with the premium version of the console, not the basic version
