Zelda-Themed Wii U Bundle Accidentally Revealed By Nintendo
We're a little over a month away from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD's October 4 release date, and it appears that Nintendo has accidentally jumped the gun with an additional announcement. In a trailer that demonstrates the game's Hero Mode, an image at the end (seen above) clearly shows a Zelda-fied Wii U GamePad.
It seems that Nintendo wasn't quite ready to let that info out, as they quickly pulled the trailer. As of this writing, it can still be seen via this DailyMotion link. We're unlikely to hear any specifics on pricing until the publisher is ready to announce the bundle properly, but a rumor published by Destructoid suggests it will retail for $349.99.

Our Take:
Considering it's the 32GB deluxe console and a $50 game, this should be a good choice for Nintendo fans who haven't yet taken the plunge on buying a Wii U.
