Includes New 3DS and amiibo bundles

Earlier today,Nintendo announced a new batch of Nintendo Select titleswill be available beginning August 26 in the US. It also announced a couple of new game and console bundles as part of a “Back to School” price cut.

The discounted games are as follows. For the 3DS:

For the Wii U, there’s a smaller selection:

There are also some new amiibo bundles, which include both a game and figure available. These are less heavily discounted, but are considerably less expensive than buying the game and figure separately. Each of these bundles will cost $39.99 and release on September 9.

These new bundles are alreadyavailable for preorder on Amazon, including the standard 20% discount for Prime members. It doesn’t look like Amazon has the Wii U or 3DS games at the new prices yet though, so you may want to wait before ordering any of those.

Finally, on the hardware side there’s a New 3DS bundle containing a set of exclusive Mario andMario Makercover plates that will retail at Target and Walmart stores for $149.99, down from the normal price of $199.99. A 2DS that comes preloaded withMario Kart 7for $79.99 was also mentioned, but I don’t believe that’s a new product.

There’s some good stuff here to be certain, but it’s hard to escape the feeling that Nintendo is running away from the Wii U as fast as it can these days. I can personally vouch forWind Waker HDandDark Moon.
