Here's what the Wii U Wind Waker HD bundle looks like - Destructoid

When Wind Waker HD was announced, I wasn't interested (but I loved the original game).

And slowly but surely, with these constant news and updates to the game, I might just be tempted to get this special edition....

I managed to catch a glimpse during the short period this was uploaded on Nintendo's YouTube channel, lolz.

Once again I manage to get a system just before an awesome Zelda version is released... would never bother to sell my Wii U only to get a different looking one.

Wow. I got ripped off buying the Wii U when it came out. Screw you, Nintendo.

Lol. It's not there fault. Every Zelda release, at least since Skyward Sword, has had a special bundle edition.

So the "bundle" is just the console alone since the goodies (wwhd and hyrule historia) are digital?

Is it GameStop exclusive? GoNintendo is contradicting itself...

Wind Waker isn't the bundle that the WiiU needs at the moment. But I admit, Nintendo made a smart move with the figurine as it clearly targets Zelda fans.
In EU we will get a Lego City bundle, which is not a good choise either as Lego City has been out for long enough...
The WiiU WILL GET A SMASH BROS BUNDLE SOMEDAY! MARK MY WORDS!

I was 101% on-board with getting this bundle the moment I read "includes Hyrule Historia"

... but knowing now that both that and the game itself are digital has reverted my hype back into ambivalence :U

IDK I might get it anyway

Early Adopters Dilemma. You want to be first, you pay for it. Its your own fault IMO.

Too bad the limited edition design is pretty much just a tiny decal on the game pad.

Honestly, this should have come out in sea blue; what is more reminiscent of Wind Waker than the colour of the never ending ocean?

I'll be keeping my money. Sorry Nintendo.

The smart thing to do would be: Buy some decals of the same design, somewhere for somewhere around $12. Looks just the same, just as great.

This pretty good for people who don't have a U yet.

They should sell the gamepad separately. I'd buy it if they did that.

I'm debating on getting this or waiting till Black Friday. I don't really care for the game being digital, would prefer a physical copy but still not a terrible deal especially with all the games coming out this Holiday season for the Wii U.

Never buying a Nintendo console at launch again. 3DS had nothing until Ocarina of Time, and then nothing again until the holidays. Wii U had some good launch titles and stuff like Lego City, but Pikmin 3 took until August. $80 price drop on 3DS and I get 20 games, okay. $50 price drop on Wii U along with a special edition, and no word of an ambassador program. Some people's arguments are launch and early buyers got to play it this whole time, except all big games come out after the price drop.

While I know the Wii U is going to be getting some amazing games, I could have gotten it for cheaper, with a special edition, and played all the games I did while waiting for the others. Nintendo better put out some excellent software for their next handheld/console or the numbers will be even worse.
