The "Nintendo Games" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
I know it's been discussed throughout the forum but this up and coming bundle is yet another prime example of Nintendo pushing the Gamecube in the west this Christmas. Advertisement campaigns, a price drop and loads of top quality software apparently isn't enough... Nintendo have to go and top Microsoft's console bundle as well.
For those that don't know Nintendo are releasing (like Zelda, Mario Sunshine and Metroid Prime) a special Mario Kart bundle pack in Europe. Nintendo are to bundle the upcoming Mario Kart: Double Dash!! with the Gamecube for a mere £99.99 which is a massive £20 saving...
But that's not all.
The recent obsession with free Bonus discs is appearing again this time with a special editon Zelda disc. No it isn't the crappy Master Quest bonus disc bundled with Wind Waker, but a far cooler collection of Zelda classics. They include:
The Legend of Zelda
The Legend of Zelda II: The adventure of Link
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
The Legend of Zelda: Marjora's Mask
The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker Demo
Right I'm ignoring the fact I already own all of the above games and still getting very excited. The thought of playing the greatest Zelda ever in the form of Majora's Mask once again is really exciting. I'm also going to ignore the absence of 4 other official Zelda games.
But this is a fantastic gaming deal and is sure to cause another surge in Hardware sales. Yes temporaraly but this will grow Nintendo's userbase and possibly secure a great Christmas position.
It'll be a Zelda christmas after all.

But surely bundling mario and zelda does not help nintendo win over the people who may enjoy the unique games but don't want to play Mario/Zelda games. All the Zelda ones are old anyway and will probably only appeal to the real Nintendo fans - who already have a console anyway I'd have thought.
Still, time will tell.

Just because I ditched the notable hunter does not mean I'm going to ditch the insane Nintendo fan boy image.

The Zelda bonus disc will rock. I've only played the first 2 Zelda games, never owned them, so hopefully I'll be able to get hold of it in some way or another.

But what if you dont like Zelda. Very one sided.
