MH3u bundle in EU.

http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2013/02/monster_hunter_3_ultimate_bundles_soaring_into_europe_for_wii_u_and_3ds_xl

Yup. It's official!!!!! Love it buy it!!!



It has also now been stated.. that since the bundle is with the 3DSxl (an awesome black on the US doesn't get) the Slide Pad Pro XL will also be releasing on the launch day of MH3U...

Anybody know where we can contact Nintendo of North America about possibly bringing these bundles across the pond? Because as far as I see it, a decision on that would have to be up to NoA and not Capcom US.

Here's Yuri's comment on the bundles (from the Capcom Unity Forums):

Yes, Europe is getting those bundles, and I'm happy for our European hunters who end up getting them. =)

It's an Europe-only deal, which I would guess is related to the fact that Nintendo of Europe is handling the publishing of MH3U there.
I'm also guessing that NA will eventually get the CPP XL, but that's up for Nintendo of America to decide and announce - not Capcom.

it's possible that we're getting the bundles too and they just haven't been announced.
i already bought a wiiu though.

i could be wrong though, this is yuri's post:

I guess I can be lucky in that I don't have either system. I always held off on buying them on the probability of something like this happening. I would also love to get that matte black 3DS XL; it just looks so sick!

I also hope that is the case, and that Reggie will come up on a later date and say "btw, America's getting this too. Now calm your tits, people!" _{But it would have been easier for everyone to have simply included us in that announcement...} :/

... There's a trailer for the Bundles...

Also:

The WiiU version will come with the Game and a Pro controller.. The 3DSxl version will have the new Black xl as seen and will have the game pre-downloaded.. no hard copy..

500$ if it comes to U.S?

... Wii U, 3DS XL, or yes?

For Wii U

The WiiU bundle will likely be the same price as the ZombiU bundle $389.99 and the 3DS would still be $199.99 so if you wanted both it would be $589.98 if it came to the US. But again that's for both the 3DS and WiiU bundles together. Over all (if you have the $$$) it's a fair deal for 2 systems 3 games (Nintendo land in the WiiU bundle as well) the pro controller as well as all the other WiiU delux extras and so on.

Basically you are just paying $40 more for MH3U and the pro controller over the regular WiiU deluxe price. A great deal!!!

Wow that is an amazing deal, unfortunately I only have enough for the Wii U Bundle.

Fixed.

But all kidding aside, that does sound like a pretty nice deal. The 3DS XL bundle would also be a good deal, since it would be a limited edition 3DS. Too bad you'd have to pay separate for the CPP XL, and then add the 3U case on top of that... And also not to mention this strategy guide we're supposed to be getting. That'd probably be around $50 in and of itself...
It's tough, not having money.

[EDIT (instead of double post...)]

Well, as CHUMP mentioned on the capcom unity forums:

Here's what I think:

The Wii U has sold less consoles in EU than it has in the states. Nintendo is publishing MH3U in EU and see it as an oppourtunity to sell some more consoles.

Nothing is really special about them. They aren't limited edition consoles with Monster Hunter graphics on the actual console. The Wii U Pro Controller is not a special Slime Green color with Monster Hunter graphics on it. (That would be awesome BTW).

The Wii U bundle is just the same deluxe model and the game and Wii U Controller is thrown in.

The 3DS is just a regular black 3DS XL and the game is pre-installed on the SD card.

At best it will save you a few pennies by buying the bundle.

I would've been mad if EU got special bundles with Monster Hunter consoles with sweet designs on them but they are basically no different then buying it all seperate, other then it might save you some money.

They are great bundles for anyone who hasn't bought the Wii U or a 3DS XL yet but they really are nothing special other then the box it comes in.

When he describes it like that... He's right, in a way. It's really not that different from buying them separately.

However, I would also like to think that bundles here could help bring new people into the franchise by making their shopping list a little bit easier. Bundles, for some people, are just more desirable. Especially for people like me, who have yet to buy a Wii U, and want to get the black deluxe version, but don't necessarily want Nintendoland... Plus, despite what he says on it just being a "regular black 3DS XL..." I think that'd be really cool to have, and it would make a great incentive for people to get it, if for nothing else then to have a 3DS different from most other people. And then they'd try the game and make what they will from it.

It may not be some super special designed Wii U and 3DS XL, but I still think getting the bundles over here would be good business, if not at least good publicity. It'd be nice to see the Azure Rathalos and hunter on a big poster in the front window of a Gamestop, advertising these.

As far as Wii U is concerned yes it's the same stuff as we can get separately with higher price. When it comes to 3DS tho, I can't recall Nintendo selling full black 3DS XL in US. Even in Japan it's considered as rare because deafult colour of 3DS XL is half red, blue, silver and full white. Imho full black looks waaay better than half coloured members of the 3DS XL family.

Also the MH3U bundle lets say it does come out here in the US and they do put it st the same basic price point as the have the ZombiU bundle at (having an extra game and pro controller in it) $189.99. A regular deluxe WiiU costs $149.99, MH3U $59.99, and pro controller $49.99 for a total of $257.97 instead of $189.99... So to me if you didn't already have a WiiU and wanted to get one and MH3U that is special and a lot cheaper than buying seperately.

I do hope those in the EU take advantage of this and it introduces a lot more people to the MH communities.

I SOOOOOO want a US bundle wii U......
