We decided to start shopping around for our Wii system the weekend before Thanksgiving last year. The price for each hardware bundle was the same everywhere we looked. But, we noticed that there was a color on the store shelves besides the white and black consoles, which are the standards that have been offered for quite some time now. Nintendo released a red version of the Wii to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the NES and the original Super Mario Bros. game in 2010. The selling point for the limited edition red bundle (which was just released on November 7, 2010) was the inclusion of the New Super Mario Bros. Wii game. With both of us being fans of the first Mario Bros. games from the NES, having the lastest installment in that gaming series (virtually a $50.00 value) included was a big selling point.
All of the consoles come with one original Wii remote (with MotionPlus) and one nunchuk. With the anniversary edition, the controllers are red to match the console. Plus, you still get the Wii Sports game that is standard with any Wii purchase. The white and black bundles also come with the Wii Sports Resort.
But, what a bonus with the red anniversary edition Wii, getting the hit game New Super Mario Bros. Wii with the package. We will be providing our take of the Mario game in a later review.
All in all, we are very satisfied with our selection. It has provided several hours of enjoyment for not only us, but other members of our family, as well. We are looking forward to enjoying our new Wii system for years to come.
