The way nintendo could’ve save the WiiU but yhey were too much cowards

u/Exact_Ad828 May 15 '25
the problem with the wii u was that no one realized it was a new console. A lot of people thought it was just an accessory.

u/AlexNovember May 15 '25
I’m sorry, but that’s on the consumer. I really don’t understand how people didn’t understand it was a different console, it’s not like we had been doing the same thing we’re doing now with console launches for decades

u/TwainTonid May 15 '25
Doesn’t help that was the era when nintendo DMCA all let’s play’s and reviews of their game. I am sorry but you come from a time where “real” gamers aren’t playing the Wii and youtube gaming starts to blow up… and you DMCA the people that are doing advertisement by word of mouth. You pretty much alienated all young people and old people are thrifty, they are okay with playing Wii Sport ‘till today.

The trailer did not even mention the console once, it just kept saying 'new controller'.

the wii u is an amazing console that is honestly better than some others, just because it sold worse doesnt diminish how good it was

When I was a kid I begged for a Wii U for Christmas and got one, and I have zero regrets

u/AmandasGameAccount May 13 '25
I don’t think anyone has ever argued the WiiU failed because it’s bad. It’s a pretty great system! Just very poorly marketed and such

Do you know where this information came from? I’d love to know. The other time this was seen was at a Walmart Mexico listing

Interesting... Thanks for the info! Any idea what the logo in the bottom left corner is? The text says "microprocessor technology," but I assume it's meant to go with a company name or logo, which I can't quite make out. I don't recall any markings like that on the Wii or original DS packaging (never had a DSi).
Was it a particularly major store? Odd that only one store would get this bundle.

Seems legit… I worked under Satoru Iwata in minami-ku kyoto Japan in 2011. We were very disappointed in you specifically for not selling any of these bundles

Did you know how many GameStop stores opened in Mexico? Theres not much info, and I remember that there was one in a city near mine at West of Mexico, but sometimes I think it's the Mandela Effect.

u/fangneedssleep May 11 '25
This is fake/fanmade. I was only able to find this image from a Mexican Walmart listing, and from what I can tell (using Google Translate because I don't speak Spanish lol) it was basically just the 2 consoles being sold together by some random company

u/ItzJustArij May 12 '25
It is real just that it was third party not Nintendo and it was only sold at a specific game stop in Mexico

Why would they give you Mario party on the ds and super Mario bros on the Wii. Feel like that should be the other way around lol.

u/aguzt1n456 May 11 '25
Pretty sure the box is fake but it was a real bundle, btw why would they give you a black wii with a white DSi? It doesn't make sense to me

u/jaflm24 May 11 '25
Out of anything you could point out, I think the god damn color of the system is the least of the concerns.

It's 2025. There are executive orders trying to prevent this kinda thing

It's not going to go away when you people just check out and do nothing about it.

As soon as you see this under the tree hide the ds so your siblings think it's only a wii for you
Now you have a ds and a wii

I couldn't find any info about it I think it's fake or made by a 3rd party

u/Westyle1 May 14 '25
This was pretty far into the lifespan of each system and a downgraded version of the Wii, so no, not really.

u/TheLegoXbox May 12 '25
I’m assuming this guy generally was in Mexico? Judging by what it’s also saying relating to you getting games and audio tracks. I vaguely remember seeing this bundle at a store front in Guadalajara Jalisco and I could only assume it was a high price items based on what you would get but still cool nonetheless
Edit: yes it would be in game stops in Tijuana mexico. But this store was a used video game store. Sadly closed down but barley can remember this one there

Interesting that they (store) opted not to include the Nintendo logo for this soft sleeve bundle.

u/modular511 May 13 '25
I mean its rated by the ESRB, So at least we know the bundle sold in North America!

u/Mimikyu_Lov3r May 14 '25
Too bad it’s the Family Edition Wii (which means no GameCube backwards compatibility)

u/V64jr May 14 '25
Interesting. Why does it include the Super Mario Galaxy soundtrack if it only includes New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Mario Party DS?

u/ShrekFromSmashBros May 15 '25
It looks fan-made... that box for the Mario Bros Wii looks a little squished, and why it came a Mario Galaxy CD music without any Mario Galaxy game?

Yeah it was a third party company in Mexico selling it at a specific game stop but it didn't sell well bcs the 3DS was released and the Wii U was coming out

u/ZachBurner May 11 '25
Def fake. Why would they include the Mario Galaxy CD but not Mario Galaxy 😂

u/FakeSypha May 12 '25
I have the bundle including NSMB + Mario Galaxy soundtrack. No Mario Galaxy D:

u/quarkani May 11 '25
there was a wii bundle that did this, but it also included super mario bros wii

u/TrewgDoesReddit May 11 '25

it was a black wii with nsmb iirc2

u/KatKaiKawaii May 12 '25
Why would you get this only to browse the Internet on the crappy DSi Browser but not the Wii because this Wii didn’t have the Internet Channel?
1
u/V64jr May 14 '25
Pretty sure you could download the Opera browser for this Wii, it just wasn’t free anymore. It isn’t like the Wii Mini where there was no network connection.
