Nintendo have announced two new Wii U ‘Family’ bundles for the Japanese market. Both bundles pack a 32GB Premium Wii U console – in black or white – alongside pre-installed games and accessories, the details of which are as follows:
Bundle A will retail at ¥32,800 (approximately £208) and includes the Wii U, New Super Mario Bros. U, Wii Party U and 30 days access to Nintendo’s forthcoming Karaoke F2P title, Wii Karaoke U. It will also include a Wii Sensor Bar and Wii Remote Plus.
Bundle B retails at ¥34,800, or £221, and includes everything in the above package, as well as the recently detailed Wii Fit U and Wii Fit Meter. Curiously this bundle doesn’t include a Wii Balance Board – although this is presumably to keep the package cost ‘family friendly’.
The new Wii U family bundles are scheduled for release in Japan on October 31st, and whilst neither have been officially announced for the UK, it’s a strong possibility we may see them in shops ready for Christmas.
At the current exchange rate, both packs offer remarkable value for money, but would a new, lower-priced yet content-rich Wii U deal convince any of you to finally pick one up alongside your PS4 or Xbox One pre-orders?

I still wouldn’t pick one up to be honest. It’s very cheap though and definitely worth having if you have been thinking about picking one up.

It would have to be cheaper and have a lot more exclusive content. Now that PS4 and PS vita can work together, the GamePad seems less attractive.
