There will be three different bundles in England available at launch.

I believe the first two are standard bundle packs available in the EU, UK and the US. The third one in the link below is a GAME specific bundle and not one offered by Nintendo.

The bundles look great... I feel so bad about the pricing for you guys though... you seem to be getting some great deals however..

It was mentioned in our Nintendo Direct about the ZombiU bundle and I'm quite happy with the price personally, How much are the bundles in the US? Because our prices in pounds are usually the same as your prices are in dollars.

Yes I take back what I said. Looking back at the Nintendo Direct it seems like there is limited edition bundle for the EU with Zombie U and a pro controller but only GAME is listing it so far in the UK.

I'm going to have to get my money together quick, it seems a really good deal, it includes Nintendoland and has a pro controller.

If I could afford to get it from Game I think I would definitely get that bundle.

I was afraid the Premium console alone was going to cost that much, very pleased to see such a reasonable bundle like that..

Personally I was wanting Lego City Undercover as my first game though as I'm not sure ZombiU is my thing.

There might be stores doing their own bundles, you'll have to wait and see.

The premium bundle is very nice value.
10% discount on digital sales for a year alone would be worth it.

Never actually bought a console on launch before though, and won't now, will wait for either a price drop or another game bundle.

I'd forgot about the 10% discount! And access to premium Nintendo Network for a year...

Yeah, the prices are higher than i was expecting but i think the ZombiU bundle makes up for that with good value for money. I dont think i would buy the WiiU on launch without having the ZombiU bundle.

I notice how they're not mentioning the cradle and stands for the wii u and gamepad. Just looked at both gamestop and amazon and none of them mention them. Yet when I go onto the us gamestop there's mention of them being bundled in. Are people in the uk not getting the cradle and stands or are they for some reason not mentioning it?

We are getting the stands and cradle I think, but only in the premium one. What's happening now is shops are going to be very competitive with each other, and the price will slowly drop (hopefully by about £30). This is what happened with the 3DS before it came out.

Don't forget post launch as well this happened. Around Ocarina of time (before the major price drop was even heard of) the 3DS was dropped to £190, because the retailers became money hungry and wanted to make profit off every single early adopter which they did but they did more harm to Nintendo and potentially themselves by pricing as high as £230.

£246 is the trade price for the Premium bundle. £204 is the trade price for the basic bundle so, this is going to be very interesting.

According to the Nintendo twitter account, it turns out ZombieU is INSTEAD of Nintendoland, which Is what I expected but is not what game are advertising

Please be aware, when Nintendo spoke about the prices and such, they were specifically talking about the United States (and only the US) due to the laws in Europe. Hope you guys still enjoy this bundle though..
