Amazon has put up a listing for the Smash Bros. for Wii U software bundle. This bundle includes the game, the Gamecube controller adapter, and a Smash-branded Gamecube controller. Astute observers will also notice that the package sports a small Amiibo logo, which is likely to show off games that are Amiibo compatible. The box are also looks quite pretty, though with an asking price of $99.99, it had better look good.


There it is, in all its glory.
A release date has still not been set for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Pre-order this bundle on Amazon here.

Are you excited for the game yet? Will you be buying this bundle? Make your voice heard in the comments below!

The Derrit wants this, but also likes having a hundred dollars. Follow him on Twitter at @TheDerrit.

Imagine Nintendo sells these controllers, but instead of the Smash logo its a character. I'd buy like all of them.

Honestly, $99.99 doesn't even seem like a discount. If these things are bundled, you'd think that you'd get money off. To be fsir, though, I can only guess how expensive a gamecube controller adaptor will be.

If you think about it, these Smash-brand controllers would be easy to customize, meaning people will make more customized controllers! More customized controllers means more variety!

That, or nobody will even try to make their own controller. I know I will.

I wonder how much cheaper it would be to get the adapter separately, cause I don't need a another controller, I have too many.

$60 for the game
$30 for the controllers
$20 for the adapter

Good for $10 off.

So, for those axing this is too expensive, consider this.
-the game itself is $60
-the controller ~$30
-that leaves another ~$10 for the adapter.
Given that it comes with what most people are going to consider a tourney ready setup; why the **** are you complaining? Do you expect them to give you a controller and adapter for free?! Nintendo wants to make money, now they have a product you want and you are complaining about wanting to pay for it? Seriously, consider how much you are going to use this ****. $40 isn't that much extra.

I hope Gamestop takes preorders for this bundle. I don't care that it's $99.99. This will be in my house upon release. Period.

I'm kinda bummed there's no Sm4sh Special Edition WiiU. I mean there's a Sm4sh 3ds, it'd make sense to have a Sm4sh WiiU. I'm still hoping that they will announce one.

40$ for an old controller and an adapter made from old hardware sounds pretty pricey to me. Come on, 85$ total would of been doable.
Almost every Smash player prefers to use the "old controller" which is in fact the best controller for this game series
And its not "old hardware" either
The had to create a new program, make a whole new device and make it work
Could it have been a little less yes
The bundle only saves you $10 so yeah it could have been like $90 at most

Making a GC controller work through a USB on a Wii U wouldn't be all that hard. And it's just the controller ports from a GC with two USB plugs attached.

With this bundle now actually being a thing, my stepbros will now have a chance to obtain a Wii U & SSBU!

If you really want to sell how awesome Wii U software is to someone, play the games with them.

Ah, I remember when I preordered the Wii U version at Gamestop and they asked me if I wanted the bundle. I said no because I wanted Watch Dogs instead.

I've played with gamecube controllers all my life, but after playing the smash demo so much I don't think the transition to a pro-controler will be that bad. Regardless, I'm still buying the heck out of this because most of my friends are used to GC controllers when they come over!

But its not like the Wii U had that software originally they had to program that to make it work
Sure it might not be hard but they didn't have to do it either

The bundle saves you $10, which is great. You people need to quit complaining. I'm sorry to tell you this, but video games are a luxury. Nintendo is in the business of making money and is under no obligation to shave off 30-40 bucks from their products.
