New Japanese Wii U bundles include three games, a Wiimote and even a karaoke subscription

Japanese Wii U bundle has it all Super Mario Bros U, Wii Party U, Wii Fit U, a Wiimote and even karaoke

Nintendo fans in Japan have just been offered the motherload of Wii U bundles: two packages that include as many as three games, an extra controller and a subscription to a karaoke service. Both bundles come with either a white or black 32GB console, a matching Wii Remote Plus, 30 days of Nintendo x Joysound Wii Karaoke U service and digital copies of New Super Mario Bros U and Wii Party U. The lower-end package snags all of the above for a cool 32,800 yen (about $332), but an extra 2,000 yen (roughly $20) adds a copy of Wii Fit U and a Fit Meter — although it looks like the requisite balance board will be sold separately. Considering that a standard Wii U Deluxe system now sells for $300, these bundles seem like solid deals. There’s no word if a similar compilation is being prepared for international markets, but at least we have the limited-edition Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD bundle to comfort us.

Nintendo says Wii Fit U now delayed until December

Wii Fit U delayed until December to add more features, says Nintendo

If you had big plans for Nintendo’s forthcoming Wii Fit U, which was scheduled to come in the first half of 2013, you’d better put them on hold. The company’s president, Satoru Iwata just said during its E3 presentation that the game will be delayed until December of this year in order to “create new features” and bring “as high quality a gaming experience as possible.” That includes the game’s Fit Meter pedometer, which will eventually track your movements in over 77 game-based activities. Fortunately, if plain old exercise just won’t do, there’s lots of other options.
