  • Good for everyone that doesn't have a Wii all 8 of you
  • I have been thinking about getting a Wii.  Change that number to 7 Cody.

  • I love how Nintendo is just now releasing colored Wii's for "special" Occasions such as this, its nice to know they can easily make different colored ones when we all were excited when the Nintendo revolution was announced and was going to release in many different colors and only white was our choice.  Ugh Nintendo you disappointed me so much these days.  Its good that there celebrating the 25th but still that color thing still nags me.

  • Y'know maybe I should get this for christmas

  • Neat, I have also been thinking about getting a Wii.

  • When will the big three go back to packaging two controllers with their systems? I know, probably never. It's all about making money on extra controller sales (or if you work for Nintendo, it's about keeping costs down for the five people in the world who only play the Wii by themselves). But that just means I have to mentally add another $50 or more to every new system price. It's an old compaint, but I'm still making it.
  • They should have painted it with like a red bar then a blue one, to try and make it look like Mario.  Or put the pixelated version of him on the sides.

  • --______--

  • I would love to get Red Wii Bundle, cause I love Nintendo as well!

  • i kinda want the mario xl

  • I might be getting a Wii for Donkey Kong Country Returns on Nov 21st, but this looks like a great deal.

  • this is really cool. too bad wii doesnt have that many MUST have games. might be the reason why i sold the 2 i have. and if i get another one for cheap it will be 3!! :D

  • Forget this, how about when are we going to be getting the new updated super mario "all stars" in the U.S. ?? Whats with only Europe and Japan getting in on the fun?
  • Toss in the 25th anniversary collection that Japan and Europe are already getting and it's a deal.

  • Isn't this like a month late??

  • I don't have a Wii, and don't plan on purchasing either one of these. I thinks it's a desperate attempt to win back consumers. Plus, the PS Move is already out and the Kinect drops soon and the holidays are coming, which in my eyes is sort of last resort plea of Nintendo for their depleting user base.

  • It sort of makes me wish I didn't get the original $249.99 Nintendo Wii. But if I waited just for this, I wouldn't have been able to play the other great games for Wii before this.

  • I'm very excited about this. Too bad I already have a Wii and New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Wii Sports. But having a red wii would be so cool! If I ever got it I'd give away my other wii.

  • man i had a Wii but the only game i liked to play on there was farcry vengance and super smash bros brawl

  • Nice color Wii.
