Nintendo land not to be bundled with the WII U and is set to be a separate game.

I guess most of us wanted Nintendo land to come with the Wii U console just like Wii sports did in 2006. I wouldn't pay full price for this game and I can't see it selling well at all. Don't get me wrongI love Nintendo and plan to get pikmin 3 & super mario bros U. Nintendo land should be included with the console to get everyone together and learn how the gamepad works in lots of ways. Thoughts guys

I don't see anywhere on there that it is a sold seperate title. Imo, Amazon is only assuming that it is a sold seperat retail game. Also if this is true, I might still get it, looks like a great game for parties, or family get togethers.

That article doesn't confirm anything. But if it is seperate and it turns out to be a solid party game, then I'll get it. Good party games are hard to come by these days.

Nowhere in that link does it confirm that it will not be bundled. Notice the big question mark they had at the end of their heading? The listing is just another placeholder if anything.

In any case, I wouldn't buy Nintendo Land separately at full price if it wasn't bundled.

It doesnt comfirm anything. just a placeholder.

If this game is not bundled with the Wii U then I probably won't play this game at all.

so what if its not packaged in -- it still looks like a good game

The link doesn't confirm anything.

Anyway, I won't buy Nintendo Land separately unless it has more content to it. $50 (or even $60) for the game is just not worth it for the 12(?) games on it unless they pull a Wii Play and bundle it with a controller or something. I'd like to get it because it looks like a decent party game, but I can't justify paying full price.

Big mistake by Nintendo here, don't understand why someone will pay full price for a game that is simply used to show off the function of the game-pad. It makes no sense whatsoever that they would do this, if the game is supposed to show off the potential of the console then why would you not package it?OhJayDubya

Totally agree, but the article itself is in no way a confirmation of such a thing. I still more confident than not that Nintendoland will be a game bundled in with the Wii U. Otherwise, I think it significantly hurts the success of both products.

Ignoring this link as anything near substantial information and moving onto a more general subject that is:

Nintendo needs software to be packed with the Wii U. Wii Sports helped sell the Wii fantastically, it looks like Nintendo Land will do the same if bundled. I would also think it would be smart to pack one downloadable game onto the system as well. As in a game that basically guides non focused (casual) gamers to download games as much as buy them on retail.

People have got to stop taking these listings as confirmations of things, they don't mean anything.Sepewrath

In my opinion, I seriously can't see them NOT packaging this game with the Wii U, I mean one of the reasons Wii sold so well was that it was packaged with Wii sports. It would be unwise for Nintendo not to do this again with Nintendoland, especially with Wii U being a totally new concept. It will give gamers a good introduction into the full functionality of the Wii U gamepad, as well an insight of what may be possible in games to come. It's a perfect oportunity for Nintendo to justify a profitable pricetag for them as a compay but also a reasonable one for gamers who will pay it (whatever the price is) knowing they also get a first party game free.

i'm getting nintendo land no matter what...i hope its bundled though so i can save money for other games.
