Admission to the Nintendo dream park just got a little cheaper. 

Nintendo Land is receiving a price drop to $29.99, $30 less than its current suggested retail price of $59.99

This price drop takes effect November 1, the same day as the release of the new Wii U Deluxe Set New Super Mario Bros. U bundle, which no longer includes Nintendo Land. The new price is for both retail and digital copies.

One of the launch day games for the Wii U, Nintendo Land is a collection of 12 Nintendo themed games that take advantage of the Wii U GamePad in unique ways, and originally came with the Wii U Deluxe Set..

Mario and Luigi Jump into the New Wii U Deluxe Set

New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U Packaged Together in New Configuration

REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Nintendo is launching a new Wii U Deluxe Set that puts the focus on value, and highlights the two biggest names in video games: Mario and his brother, Luigi. Available in stores on Nov. 1, the Wii U Deluxe model will come with two games – New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U – all on one disc. The new configuration will sell at the low suggested retail price of $299.99, and replaces the existing Wii U Deluxe Set, which included Nintendo Land. For fans who want to experience the uproarious fun of Nintendo Land, the game can still be purchased separately in stores and as a download in the Nintendo eShop at a new low suggested retail price of $29.99, also beginning Nov. 1.

The beautiful, limited-edition Wii U Deluxe bundle that comes with a download code forThe Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, a gorgeous GamePad controller adorned with art inspired by The Legend of Zelda series and a download code for a digital copy of Hyrule Historia is also still available at a suggested retail price of $299.99 while supplies last.

“Mario and Luigi are two of the biggest heroes in video games,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “This new Wii U configuration gives people instant access to not one, but two of the most well-received Wii U games. It’s another example of the tremendous value and variety that Nintendo is offering consumers this holiday season.”

New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U are two of the best games on Wii U. The games offer players two separate platforming adventures – one starring Mario and one starring Luigi – each filled with dozens of creative levels. Both Mario and Luigi control differently, giving each game a distinct feel and challenge. Both games showcase the refreshing originality and game play that can only be found on Nintendo systems.

Remember that Wii U features parental controls that let adults manage the content their children can access. For more information about this and other features, visit http://www.nintendo.com/wiiu.

Thanks guys. I'm going to go sell my used Nintendo Land and then download it digitally yes it will still cost me more then I'll sell the disc for, but I'd rather have it digitally.

CericOctober 23, 2013

To tell you the truth I would too.  Its the only game my Son really wants to play.

You sir are crazy...


AND I'M CRAZY RIGHT ALONG WITH YOU! I had the same thought run through my head and will be selling my copy of Nintendoland ASAP to  re-buy it digitally. I've always wanted it digitally and wish they just gave away  an Shop code instead of a disc.

Well Razor, come join the club, I found a buyer $20 so basically for a $10 fee I get to upgrade from disc to digital

I believe I paid $14 or so for Nintendo Land used (and felt like that was about what it was worth). Besides the bundle change logic, I wonder if Ninty pays attention to used market pricing. Some of these evergreens get the blight.

I'm starting to think that the best titles to buy digitally are the ones that you want to just pop in at a moment's notice and play when friends are around. When I'm having to fiddle around with discs, I can sometimes feel my family or friend's attention waning.

And more importantly, it's soooo much easier to lug the console around to parties with just a portable HDD than with five or six discs.

But, it's gotta be titles I know I will keep forever and are less likely to lend out. So no on RPGS and single player adventure or puzzle games going digital and yes on party games, smash, kart, and probably 3d land. Nintendo Land fits into this category. But, I'll wait for another price drop.

Do you really think you're going to get another price drop?
For me, with 3 young kids digital make more sense for my wii U as I don't have to worry about lost/broken discs and cases and I don't have to deal with the clutter or switching discs while holding the baby. So I'm happy to sell my disc for $20 and buy digital for $30. As for 3DS games, I mostly get cartridges because my wife and I both own one and if we buy digital we can't play any game on either system.
