Earlier this month we told you about a new Wii U bundle that popped up in advertising in Europe. This new bundle includes New Super Mario Bros. U, as well as the DLC Nintendo released for it, New Super Luigi U. This bundle includes both pieces of content on one disk, making it a great entry point for those who haven’t bought a Wii U yet.

This new bundle will completely replace the Nintendo Land SKU that has been available since the launch of the console. For those who still want to experience the multiplayer fun to be had in that game, it can be purchased standalone for $29.99, or downloaded from the eShop for the same price starting on November 1st. According to Scott Moffitt, this SKU shift is part of Nintendo’s commitment to providing value to consumers.

“This new Wii U configuration gives people instant access to not one, but two of the most well-received Wii U games. It’s another example of the tremendous value and variety that Nintendo is offering consumers this holiday season.”

What do you think of the new SKUs? Do you wish you had waited to purchase a Wii U, or will this make you more likely to purchase a Wii U this holiday season? Let us know in the comments.
