Writer’s Opinion
This is a very successful series for Nintendo and I am sure it will bring it will strike big with current and new Wii U consumers. However, the controller bundle isn’t helping the image of the console. Many consumers still think that the Wii U is a new controller, not a new console. Bundling the game with the Wii Remote Plus Controller is only going to add to this confusion. At first glance, consumers will recognize the controller and might affiliate the entire package as a Wii experience. I really can’t wrap my head around why Nintendo wouldn’t bundle the game with the tablet controller, or at the very least releases the Wii U bundle at the same time. Sure their might be a slight loss on a tablet bundle, but Nintendo needs more sales. This needs to be their main goal because their great exclusive won’t mean anything if there isn’t a consumer base to buy them. They need to drive home the fact that this is a new console, and consumers need to upgrade to get these new experiences.
