Hi everyone! I have a really weird question...


So, I was searching on internet for Wii U models, bundles, packs, limited editions, etc, a project that i have...
And then i found this really wonderful pack of the basic Wii U with Nintendo land...

(see attach file)

I searched for it over the internet and i never saw anything related to this bundle...

So i think for 2 options:

1) Is just a fan art/concept

2) Its a really exclusive pack that was only available in certain country/region.



I think both would be possible answers, expecially the second one because in the image, the box says that it's PAL region.

The picture is named Wii-U_faux_bundle and faux means fake in French... So it's fake.
Also, I'm sure the GamePad can always be seen entirely on a real Wii U bundle.

No, this bundle never existed. The Nintendoland bundle was the Deluxe bundle (32GB memory, black console, Nintendoland). Now that i think about it, I do not recall seeing any official bundles with the Basic (white) edition at all.


Also, here is a third possibility;

...perhaps this image is from before release and Nintendo scrapped this bundle in favor of the Deluxe one? :P

There is a Wii U premium pack with Nintendo Land included.

Cant see the pic in the attachment.

Correct, however these always came with the black 32GB console.

I got Nintendo Land with my White 8GB euro model. Here is a picture of my own box.

don't worry about it. I'm sure @AmandaRose wouldn't think any less of it. I try to base a lot of what I say on memory as well, without actually checking, sometimes I'm right; sometimes I misremember.
The amount of things I have got wrong on the site over the years is rather scary :rofl2:

reminds me of the days when I was working at a grocery outlet, during launch era the wiiu was doing so good (joke) that we were selling silicone covers for the wiiU gamepad while wii U was still new. The silicone cover we were selling was 6 bucks and a lady I kid you not was asking me if it was the wiiU we were selling at the grocery store for 6 dollars.

I can see why other countries think we're dumb.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
