Mario And Sonic Bring Blue Wii Bundle To Europe

By Ishaan . October 10, 2011 . 10:31am

Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games is a big deal for both Sega and Nintendo; big enough for a new Wii bundle that contains a blue Wii, a blue Wii Remote Plus, a blue Nunchuk, the game, and a sticker sheet:

 

Mario And Sonic Bring Blue Wii Bundle To Europe

Something to keep in mind is that the Wii bundled in with this package is the model without Wi-Fi and Gamecube support that Nintendo of Europe announced earlier this year.

 

So far, the bundle has only been confirmed for Europe, and will release on November 18th. Nintendo of Europe say they have even more Wii bundles waiting to be announced for the remainder of the year.

    Kinda weird choosing a shade that seems to not have anything to do with either sonic or the olympics…

      Color matches the checkers on the soccer ball! ZING!

  • Muggshotter

    Even MORE bundles with the dumbed down Wii? Ooohoho, I can’t wait!

    (I want that blue Wii, by the way.)

  • MattForsyth

    jesus Nintendo, give it up

  • malek86

    Gotta love that crappy baby blue color. It’s the kind of stuff you’d find on illegal NES cartridges (Bible Games, anyone?).

    Hm? I thought the Wii was almost over and the Wii U’s coming.

    Where is my Skyward Sword ULTIMATE bundle Nintendo ? :D

    • http://twitter.com/#!/Leafy_Cam Leafhopper

      With a gold wii with the Triforce? Yeah I am wondering where it is at to D:

      Also Nintendo even though I already have a Wii I would gladly buy another one if you made a green one :> *hint hint*

    Would have liked to see this bundled with a ‘proper’ Sonic game. You know, like Colors 2, as a nice goodbye from SEGA.

    this model doesn’t have gamecube compatibility so no

  • MarkMario

    PSP with no wifi and Wii with no wifi and gamecube support…
    And they’re both in Europe…

    Wow, it’d match my DSi perfectly! But I’d be more willing to buy it if it was actually the blue that Sonic is and had him featured on it. And if I haven’t had a Wii since launch.

    It is a pretty color, though.

    Wow. I mean I may sound old here and I know in retrospect it’s nothing entirely new. There has been other Mario x Sonic games/projects and such. Sonic was even in Smash Bros too. I get it but still just wow. If you told me as a kid that there would be a Nintendo console with Sonic on the box I wouldn’t believe you at all. Times really have changed. Sega isn’t making consoles any more and are willing to lend Sonic out more now. I get it. But wow. This is weird to me. I feel old now. lol

    • puchinri

      I know, right? Just the other day, I was thinking of the “rivalry” (a friendly one now) between these two, and how things have changed. And now it’s really hitting me. Lol. Yay old folks! 

      • http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/members/55321.html FinalArcadia

        To me, there is still a major rivalry in my mind. And in there, Sonic’s winning. ;) All the time.

        • puchinri

          Hehe, yeah, in the end, I still see them as two rivals and Sonic usually does win for me~. 

      • http://zerodestinypro.blogspot.com/ Zero_Destiny

        Yeah they’re so buddy-buddy now. lol It’s funny to see them like this. I remember all the Blast Processing and Nintendon’ts. And then there was always those tricky old Sega and Sony guys trying to steal Nintendo’s secrets. lol Now they’re like old friends who used to duke it out but now always hang around each other. It’s so different feeling from what it was like when I was growing up. Power to the older people! XD (Really guys I’m not THAT old though. I mean right?)

        • puchinri

          Lol, exactly. It’s funny thinking back on how extreme the rivalry got. And that’s a perfect description. x’D
          Yeah! (Pfft, we’re xx years young really.)

  • puchinri

    I kind of want this… I was thinking of getting another Wii just to mod it to play import games. I was kind of disappointed w/no wifi and Gamecube support at first, but if I get it just to mod it, I don’t need those anyway… Hmmm.

  • darkfox1

    O god no Wi-fi AND no Gamecube Support?

  • PrinceHeir

    Mario and Sonic!!!!!!! :D

  • theworldofnoboundries

    With this. Another victory for Nintendo of Europe versus Nintendo of America.

    Cmon bet bet. Who is better NOE or NOA now? *Relaxing while waiting for others to bet*
