Here’s A Closer Look At The Wii U ZombiU Bundle

Nintendo Europe has released an image of the 32GB Premium ZombiU bundle which will be available for consumers to purchase in Europe on November 30th. It was confirmed a while ago that the package doesn’t include Nintendo Land, just ZombiU. The Zombi U hardware bundle retails for around £325 in the United Kingdom.

Thanks to those that sent this in.

    1. Freakin’ Europe and Japan always get better hardware bundles when it comes to gaming consoles (minus Xbox because… you know… America). I don’t know why. -.-

      1. Yeah, I think the Wii U could’ve used a “hardcore” bundle here in America. You know how the so-called mature gamers need blood, gore, and guns in every game they own.

        1. keep in mind they are not going to make games just to appeal hardcores, there other gamers that don’t like that. also if they just do that lots of parents would complain that nintendo is only putting blood on there games whitch i would agree if they do that. they would alienate many consumers by doing that.

  1. If this bundle was available in America, I would take this one over the Premium pack cause I want that pro controller. Leave luck to heaven.

          1. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA , *deap breath* ahahaAHAHAHAHAHAH XD.

            Albertfilsaime XD!!!!! , and that pic . You’re the best guy ever on the internet.

    1. When you look at what we end up paying for the ZombiU bundle in the UK, you could get the premium pack with Nintendo Land, plus ZombiU and the pro controller and end up paying roughly the same as we do for the ZombiU bundle alone (just estimating, can’t be bothered to do the price
      conversion from my phone).

    1. Yes it’s compatible with wii AV , Component and composite cables .

      I have pre ordered this bundle in uk :) , looks awesome .

      Just got pokemon Black 2 today on launch day , it’s awesome!!!!!

  2. If they released this in the US, “hardcore” gamers here would actually believe that Nintendo is finally trying to bring them back into their sights. Not that I won’t enjoy Nintendo Land. I just don’t see how this didn’t seem like a good idea for gamers in the US. That bundle seems PERFECT for gamers in the US.

    1. Those US bundles are fucking stupid ! . They are everywhere . Why caln’t Hardcore gamers get a white console with Network premium ?? why caln’t we buy the console without Nintendo land in black ??? None of it makes any fucking sense .

      NOA of America have fucked up a bit there . But just before christmas , they will anounce a zombiu bundle in US , is my guess.

      1. First of all, those aren’t US bundles, those bundles are WORLD WIDE. Nothing to do with NOA. This ZombiU bundle is an alternative to the Premium bundle in Europe, giving you ZombiU instead of NintendoLand.
        Second, the specific colours are for marketing purposes. If someone comes to your house and see you have a black Wii U immediately they know you bought the fuller bundle. It’s about easy identification.
        Third, NOA of America? Nintendo of America of America? Well done.

        1. You still butt hurt about the 3ds being more powerfull than the wii ? :P , just kidding . Yeh I fucked up with NOA of American .

          Don’t you think the bundles are just fucking stupid ????
          How about – A = 8GB white basic , B = 8GB black basic , C = 32GB white Nintendo land premium , D = black zombiu premium with pro controller (the pro controller is virtualy irrelivant for zombiu btw which is stupid)

          Why if someone wants white , they caln’t get Network premium and more memory and accesories ???? No reason , it’s called stupid ignorant and slightly absurd marketing.

          The way I said it , A , B , C , D would make more sense . Or even just White 32GB network premium no game $300 , black premium no game $300 . Everybody’s happy ???

          Sorry , but I think these bundles are stupid :S

          1. You know how marketing works, right? You make a product that is visually identifiable. By limiting a black Wii U to the premium bundle, anyone who sees that immediately knows the owner bought the deluxe bundle. It’s like having something more to show for your purchase, so not just you know you forked out extra. It has the same effect as the Apple logo does in terms of fashion, it’s recognisable as something expensive and cool. The marketing makes perfect sense.
            As for why only 2 main bundles, it limits choice, it means buyers can look at the bundles on offer and know quickly which one they want. Less thought time means less chance to back out of a purchase and a faster and higher sell rate. I bet when the two bundles were announced you knew right away which one you were getting? Imagine if they’d announced 4 different but similar bundles, would you have known right away which one to get? Parents buying for their kids or new buyers would be too confused, and maybe opt out.

            1. Yeh , You’re right . Marketing . Already on the internet you see a trend around the black premium bundle . Its making that end sell RAPIDLY , then people clean up all the white basics .

              Clever marketing .

          2. The pro controller is not ‘virtually irrelevant’ to ZombiU. If you want to play the multiplayer you absolutely need the pro controller.

    2. It might be a marketing move. The game is set in UK, they figure they’ll sell more copies in that region than in US with this bundle maybe? Who knows.

    3. Except in America, Nintendo is intent on marketing to casuals with those “I’m not a gamer” commercials….

      I would have picked this bundle over the one we’re getting. Meh… C’est la vie.

  3. Watch this space and see Nintendo of Canada announce they are getting AC3 in a bundle pack. I would lose my mind, were as here in the good old US of A they are giving us Nintendo land ( scratching my head ). What is one to do when friends/family from England visit? Am pasting the pictures of my FIFA 13 Wii U on my Wii U box, call it physical photo shopping :).

    1. It’s not just you guys, the basic and premium bundle are worldwide… Europe is just getting this as an alternative at launch.

  4. there she is MY BUNDLE i have this pre ordered at GAME in leicester UK that be my bundle and ail get a new 42 inch tv too let the envy commence

        1. Thank you, mine is the LG 42lk520. I bought it specifically for the 2.4ms response time and the tru-motion which makes a game appear to be at a higher fps. It is a stunning display and I’m glad I chose LG.

          1. Yeh I have a 2011 32” 1080p LG , and it has those features you mentioned ^_^ . Games look smooth as shit on it man :) .

            Everytime I turn it on and play some ps3 or 360 , I always think ”caln’t w8 to get wiiu on this”

            1. Definitely, it’s more than enough for me. Super Mario Galaxy looks wonderful on it with tru-motion, along with other games I own such as Star Fox 64. Personally, I can’t wait for NSMB U to be on it. The LG TV is definitely a monster when it comes to gaming.

          2. Yeh , they are as good as any TV :) . The remote interface and the bleeps and the bloop noises just feel so space age .

            One annoying thing is my TV always defaults to PC mode when playing xbox 360 , just requires changeing to GAME mode on the input section where it activates all the glamorous stuff. At first I was like , hey!!!! this looks shit , I took it back to the shop the guy said switch PC to GAME , and then BAAAM The best picture quality i’ve seen!

            1. I agree, I favor keeping all the enhancements on such as wider color gamuts and x.v.color for a better experience, especially with PS3.

    1. From what I read of game informer Nintenland aint all bad. You just gotta play it to give it correct judgement. They shunned the game too like you are now; then once they played it and now they know why Ninten made the game. Can’t shun games until you play them my friend.

          1. 1: I don’t support it.
            2: It is not a “casual party game”; it’s clearly a fucking interactive reading experience with a book.
            3: You’re a faggot.

            1. 1.I’m gonna remember that comment for when you contradict yourself again.
              2.Why would someone by a video game to read a book?
              3.And he is a faggot because….

        1. I’d say its a little more than simply a casual party game, theres a nice core experience with some of the attraction.

            1. No, i haven’t, but the Metroid, Donkey Kong, Pikmin, Zelda, Animal Crossing, Mario, and Luigi’s Mansion minigames look fun as hell, and im a fan of all of the original games of those, besides Pikmin, but thats only because i’ve never played it before, and can see myself playing them often.

            2. Aeolus, I’m afraid you’ve forgotten what gaming is about… It’s not about proving your maturity by only playing gory action games, it’s not about boasting the best graphics… It’s about having fun. Just because a game might seem made for kids or “casual” gamers as you put it, doesn’t mean it might not be fun. And you won’t know until you play it yourself. Now if you choose to stick your head in the sand and ignore the increasing reports that NintendoLand could shape up to be an enjoyable game, that’s your loss… I just hope you remember that a game doesn’t need blood and bullets to be a good game.

            3. I sort of agree in one way. I do like the look of Nintendo land . But why does it all have to be made out of Fabric ??? it looks kinda wierd (maybe I’ll grow to love it) .

              But Nintendo land doesn’t look like ”Nintendo land” . I could of designed it so much better , with more Nintendo Authenticity . Like you say the F zero attraction should look like HD GX . F-zero isnt called Fabric racer’s . etc etc .

              Nintendo land should be more Nintendo and less fabric is my point.

              1. The unified art style means the whole game is tied together graphically… It’d look silly if the games all looked completely different from each other.

                1. Yeh , I personally like it!! but will it turn some people away ??? Would it be better if they had the original art styles for each game ?? debatable , But unified art style is probably right and Nintendo trying something new.

            4. You’re the type of audience that developers want to stay away from. You hurt their bottom line by constantly wanting the same games.

              1. I want the same games? Do tell. Or are you just being the usual faggot that you always are who’d never reply because you know you’d get torn apart?

                1. One of your previous comments on this site had you cursing Nintendo for “messing with the wheel” in it’s controller design, claiming that it wasn’t necessary and didn’t benefit the industry.
                  Call me crazy but that sure sounds like you like things to stay the same. Indeed any game shown off that appears to differ from the standard action/shooter fare, you appear to shoot down without even trying it.

                    1. the gpad and wiimotechuck can do everything the classic can do while the classic can’t do half of what they can do

  5. that bundle is way too much money. in canada i could get the bundle with nintendo land and still have enough money for zombiU and the controller.

    1. In UK, it’s not.
      Prices aren’t simply $1 for a certain amount of £’s as the exchange rate says. Prices go up, or down depending on the country and its financial position. UK will always be priced more than US simply because of population. America can ship more, and sell more, so the bulk cost savings are higher, meaning the prices for turnover and profit can be targeted lower. Simple economics.

      1. This.
        It’s why (allegedly) we Australians are getting the deluxe bundle for $430. Even though our dollar is as strong as/stronger than the IS dollar.

  6. Seems a bit unfair since they get the pro controller along with ZombiU plus a better WiiU box art. Yet in america, we get a plain wiiu bundle that includes Nintendo Land in which I lost intrest in. =/

    1. If you knew anything you’d know that:
      A) those plainer bundles are worldwide, not just USA.
      B) the BLACK Wii U bundle comes with NintendoLand, NOT the white one.

    1. No, only the deluxe bundle, which is packaged with Nintendo Land, and the Basic Bundle will come to the U.S..

  7. you guys in US seems piss off cause you don’t have that bundle, just to reminder you all that the WiiU 32 GB is @ £216.95 in USA, in UK we will have it @ £325 and the only difference is zombieU instead of Nintendo land yeah really seems to be a very good deal for Europe (sarcasm). Well if for £108.05 cheaper I would gladly swap not a problem :-).

      1. geez you wanna talk about the financial state of the UK…. we are totally in the sh*t compare to the US (seem employment getting better in US). don’t even mention Spain, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Greece or even France. I don’t know if you notice but there is a recession in Europe. I really do believe the pricing strategy is wrong really really wrong.

        To be honest if the wii sell great it was for the price. At the minute I won’t buy the Wii U until it comes down to price even if it means 3 years after release and it will allow me to see if the system doing well.

        1. Sorry, I wanted to point out the population difference between the U.S. and U.K.; the difference in marketing tactics because of the population difference. Also, the U.S. still has more debt than any other country; we may seem okay but trillions of dollars in debt says otherwise.

  9. I think this bundle is only released there because well, the game DOES in fact, take place in Britain. Just throwing that out there.

    1. I had a similar suggestion higher up. It’s probably a marketing thing. The British are awfully patriotic, of course they’ll buy a bundle with a game that’s set in the UK.

  10. And be prepared America, because our Nintendoland will probably come in a sleeve, not a full case like ZombiU in Europe.

  11. Its very weird that Japan is getting the Monster Hunter Tri Universe pack because its geared towards them, and Europe is getting the Zombi-U pack because it geared towards them, but in USA we don’t have a special pack. Wouldn’t it have made sense for USA to have gotten a COD:BO2 pack. Europe is also getting the same premium pack as USA with the Nintendo Land so that can’t be the reason. It just seems like a blown opportunity for the USA not to have a special pack geared towards them as well.

    1. hi there hope nintendo will release a zombi u bundel on next halloween becuase hallowwen is perfect for zombi u games expecialy on the game pad

  12. I believe that is one of the such a lot important information for me.
    And i’m satisfied reading your article. However
    should remark on some basic things, The site
    style is perfect, the articles is actually nice : D. Excellent task, cheers

  13. What i do not understood is if truth be told how you’re no longer really much more smartly-appreciated than
    you might be right now. You are very intelligent. You recognize therefore considerably in terms of this topic,
    produced me in my view consider it from numerous varied angles.
    Its like men and women don’t seem to be fascinated until it’s one
    thing to do with Girl gaga! Your personal stuffs great.
    All the time handle it up!
