Wind Waker HD Wii U Bundle Arriving Sept. 20th for $299, Wii U Price Cut Same Day

Talk about a behemoth of news coming completely out of left field. While we knew the Wind Waker HD Wii U Deluxe Bundle existed, we had no idea it would be coming a full two weeks before the retail launch of The Wind Waker HD. We also had no idea it would coincide with a price cut, let alone a digital copy of Hyrule Historia.

Yes, you read that correctly: Wii U, Price Cut, September 20th… combined with a limited edition bundle that includes a digital version of The Wind Waker HD and a digital copy of Hyrule Historia. Oh and better yet? The digital version of The Wind Waker HD is also arriving for everyone else on the 20th as well. No word on what is going on with the basic Wii U right now, as that was not mentioned in the price cut. If I had to guess, they are going to start phasing that console out entirely.

Nintendo seems to be making all the right moves here. Zelda unique console bundle, price cut, and top tier games all arriving this holiday when the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One hit store shelves. Did Nintendo do enough? Oh, and don’t count on an ambassador program for early adopters. We are almost a year out, after all, and this price drop isn’t nearly as drastic as the 3DS’s drop.

Oh, for those wondering, the digital version is just $50, but GameStop is reportedly selling a bundled copy for $55 that includes an exclusive Ganondorf Figurine. More details on this as they arrive.
