New Super Mario Bros. U and Nintendo Land to launch alongside the Wii U in Japan

New Super Mario Bros. U 12

At least one of my predictions seems to have been wrong. I expected Pikmin 3 to be a launch title for the Wii U, but in Japan at least, that’s not the case. Instead, New Super Mario Bros. U, and Nintendo Land will be the first-party launch titles. Both games will also be available as downloadable titles.

    Oh well I like NSMBU btter than Pikmin 3 anyway but i dont give a care about Nintendo Land.

    I think with the discount for the online service with the Premium bundle, Nintendo Land not being packaged with the Wii U isn’t that bad. With 10% off each of them when you buy both of them, that could be a difference of $90 and $100 or $108 and $120 for the games.

    Smart choose. NSMBU is the WiiU game I’m most looking forward to that is announced and we have footage of. Otherwise I would say Smash Bros.

    I personally was hoping for Pikmin 3 as a launch title a little more than NSMBU, to be honest, but I’ll take it. While I like NSMBU, it doesn’t look like much beyond the last NSMB game, but I’ve been waiting years for Pikmin 3. But I can live with this.

    But what I personally don’t get why they’re selling Nintendo Land as a standalone, even in just Japan so far. Make that bad boy a pack-in. No sense in paying for a mere 12 minigames. I mean, after insane number of minigames in the likes of Mario Party and WarioWare games, a mere 12 minigames just don’t seem worth being a standalone title.

      Mario is only considered being everywhere is cuz he has so many spin offs dude. the New super mario bros series only has games for each console. the 3D mario games has only 4 games. 5 if you count the one on the 3DS. then theres the RPGs Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi. and then theres MArio Kart and Mario Party. and also the Sports. so yes mario is everywhere but theyre not the same games theyre different series.

    I can’t believe Nintendo Land is not a pack-in title! It seemed so perfect, yet they had to screw it up! But I am excited for NSMBU, and I’ll get NL either way. I just think Nintendo would be smarter to make it a pack-in and then charge another $50, but then people don’t have the option to get it. Maybe they could include NL in the Premium version, but not the Basic version.

      This makes absolutely no sense. If they’re going to charge the exact same amount regardless, why have it packed in the first place?
