Hardware [QUESTION] Does this Wii U bundle ever existed?

[Benjanoob]

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.

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

I attached the picture again, and no, it isn't what i am searching.

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?

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.

Edit also just seen there was a basic bundle with WiiU Party and Nintendo Land

I have the wind waker bundle myself. 32GB, black, and the gamepad comes with several decals or something related to zelda on it.

If i recall correctly, Wii U boxes always had the hard drive space on them, so it was a failure on the fake designer part xd

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

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.
