Ah you've gotta love them, for every 10 bad pieces of action there tends to be one good one. Despite losing developers and 3rd party support Nintendo look to be piling on with their next killer bundle.
Whereas Microsoft invent a new bundle or 12 every few months Nintendo are specialists and take their time. In Japan they create specialist Gamecube's and Memory cards and bundle a game with them selling it at a nice affordable price.
But over here we are different. We don't get any special MGS or Tales of Symphonia Gamecube's and Memory Cards... instead we get massive yet cheap bundles. I don't mean the Prime, Wind Waker, Sunshine or EA bundles where we got a game and a Gamecube for a tenner cheaper than usual... no I mean the Mario Kart Bundles and the up-coming Pokémon Colosseum bundle.
In the ol' Mario Kart Bundle we got ourselves a nice little Gamecube, the killer ap Mario Kart: Double Dash as WELL as a special 4 game Zelda disc... featuring some of the finest Nintendo games ever... plus a demo.
Well now heralding Nintendo's next big release next month, Pokémon Colosseum, we are fortunate to get another killer bundle. In this little collection we once again get a Gamecube and the game Pokémon Colosseum but we are also treated to a 251 memory card (ohhhhh) the ever important GBA-GC link lead (ahhhh) and the special game Pokemon Box (eh?). You remember it surly, the highly pointless thing that could technically be apart of Pokémon Colosseum or Channel where you can upload up to 1500 from Ruby or Sapphire and see your Pokemon in full 3D. That's right, upload and look. Can you feel the excitement?
Nevertheless this is yet another special disc being used to sell a console and it is a nice touch. Nintendo also announced the title will appear in the STARS catalogue on May 14th complete with a Memory Card 59 for the pricely sum of 4000 Stars (counts me out).
A nice bit of news, also the bundle appears bang in the middle of the "Nintendo Ł10 million giveaway" which means a hell of a lot of software and Gameboy hardware could be shipped.
Hopefully a good few months for Nintendo in Europe.
