Nintendo originally said that NintendoLand would come with every Wii U just like Wii Sports did with the Wii, but then because Nintendo wanted to get more of a hardcore gamer interested they replaced NintendoLand with Zombi U, i think the issue came about because Nintendo wanted to do this NintendoLand would also have to be released as a stand-alone game & have priced it as such, retailers are going to do their own bundles so you may find some doing both games but you will still have to pay a bit more than the official bundles Nintendo have released.

I have the Zombi U Wii U on order & also NintendoLand, as well as Super Mario Bros U, but i don't really think NintendoLand warrens the price they are charging for it.

It i all about giving people something, people think they are getting a bit of a bargin, but really they are not, when i have brought consoles in the past, i have always got the console on it's own if the retailer wouldn't make up a bundle because 99% of the time the bundles offered are not always games you actually want.

NintendoLand should not be a full price game imo.

NintendoLand is also one word

I've not played NintendoLand myself but from everything I've seen and read about the game it shouldn't be sold at full retail price. At most it should probably be $30-$40 in the US and £20-£25 in the UK and the equivalent Euros in the EU. This is the main reason other then the bundled pro controller why I've gone with the Zombi U bundle. I'll probably pick up NintendoLand later when it's at a much lower price. I'm sure as it comes bundled with the normal premium bundle there will loads of them being traded in bringing down its resale value fairly quickly and consequently the price of new copies.

Lol, I just find it hilarious that you're making a big deal out of nothing.

[x-SourApple-x]

And so are you by complaining about complainers. You're quite ironic.

[Jelloman]

It's the only thing I can hope on, is to hope that they either give me Nintendo Land for free, or some kind of discount on Nintendo Land or the bundle.

I'm not too bothered about the money or anything to be honest, I have the money and more, it was the fact that I was misinformed, that is what is bothering me.

I'm over it now anyway. If people knew, then I can't complain much about it, but I assumed no-one really knew, going by the Amazon UK forums and such.

When i went to my game they told me it wasn't included in the bundle but they where offering it for free as and extra they also told me their price is going down before launch just like with the 3ds

Really? Could you tell me what GAME store was that? My local store is East Street, Southampton.

Ah London, that's probably why then. Those kind of deals are usually always in London ><

[Alianjaro]

What a con!

If you've preordered the Zombi U bundle, you won't get Nintendo Land! I'm so peeved off!

Man, it's for a different audience. You are one of the few interested in both titles, so it's not worth bundling both...

I would of thought if money has changed hands even if its just a deposit then there is a contract of sale and if thats what the customer was informed when putting the deposit down then it should be honoured. If no money has changed hands its a bit different.

I don't see why the OP should be criticised. He is happy to go with the sales contract originally agreed, its the store that is at fault. Clearly they made an assumption about what was included and mis-informed their customers. It's only reasonable the customer expects to get the goods as advertised. If you bothered to take this to the small claims court it would be an easy win for the OP if money has changed hands for a deposit.

I'm sure if anyone here bought a bluray player that said it came with 20 free blurays and it arrived without the free blurays they would be on the phone complaining about the missing blurays. When the retailer took the money a sales contract was formed which is as per the description they can't just say the 20 free blurays was a mistake or we ran out of the free blurays.

The guilty party here is game not x-SourApple-x

[cannonshane]

$20-$30? No, it's $65 extra I'm spending on the Zombi U bundle. We are talking Pound Sterling here, not US Dollars.

Still not that much money. We pay $100 for a single game here in aus.

It is Nintendo though who changed the official bundles, the retailers like Amazon, Game, GameStop etc were updating their websites as the Nintendo announcement was being made, there is plenty of discussion & screenshots in the Amazon & Game forums of the information changing, even Game & GameStop put out announcements on their facbook & Twitter pages that NintendoLand was with every Wii U bundle, even Nintendo USA & UK said the same thing but 24hr's later Nintendo Japan went on & clarified that the two versions of the Wii U were getting different game bundles.

The retailers cannot do anything about it either, even if Amazon said NintendoLand is included with the Premium console & you ordered it, the order stands but you will receive the updated version with Zombi U, don't forget that the console & game will come sealed in the same box.

I don't know what people will do who have ordered the Premium version but do not want Zombi U, i am not sure many people will by the regular version of the Wii U either.

You have no legal rights in regards to this, because the included NintendoLand Premium bundle is not available, all this it Nintendo's fault not the retailer.

Nintendo have left it too late & this has lead to the confusion.

If you don't want Zombi U then just sell it, because it will no doubt be sold out anyway. or just buy the Normal Premium Wii U that comes with NintendoLand.

And you get paid a lot more, so you pay more out. It's how it works.

^^^ Not really, I've travelled to Europe, the america's etc, and I've even worked in a few odd countries, And trust me it doesn't work out to be the same. I live in the worlds 4th most expensive city to live.

First off i want to mention that we don't pay $100 for a game in Australia anymore, anyone who still does is getting ripped off. Most new release cost $69-79 and that is including tax, whereas in America it costs $60+Tax which totals to about $65. Now it is obvious that the gap between pricing is a lot slimmer than previously.

Eh, it's mostly for new titles. I'm seeing a lot of games getting marked down from $109 at launch to ~$90 a couple of weeks after its out. You can get some titles that came out 6 months ago for a helluva lot cheaper.

It also depends on the game too. Dishounored is coming out with a $89 price tag, as opposed to MoH: Warfighter with a whopper $118 (at least according to this mag I'm holding).

EB's Huge Clearance sale has some titles like Final Fantasy XIII-2, AssCreed Revelations, SoulCalV and Sonic Generations for less than $40 each, and they've barely made a year. You could always do what I do and abuse the 2 for $40 at JB whenever you can.

Went in GAME today and they just wouldn't listen to anything I was trying to say, so I'll just have to shell out £40 on launch day for Nintendo Land. Preordered Pikmin 3 whilst I was in there anyway.
