Exactly this. Don't forget A Link Between Worlds is coming in November.
The console itself is going to be the 32GB black "
Deluxe Set," which includes the Console Stand, GamePad Stand, GamePad Cradle, and the
Deluxe Digital Promotion which runs until 12/2014.
The differences between this edition and a Deluxe Set available on the shelf today:
- Zelda-themed art on the packaging
- Zelda-themed art on the GamePad (not the console)
- Digital copy of The Wind Waker HD instead of Nintendo Land
- Digital download of Hyrule Historia
If I already had a Wii U I would pass on this, buy a retail copy of TWWHD, and buy a preowned Zelda GamePad later on. But I don't have a Wii U yet, so I'll be getting this edition. I wouldn't hold out for a gold Wii U; Nintendo has never really released a Zelda edition home console, so two for the Wii U would be very surprising. Why is only a digital copy of TWWHD being included? Maybe it's so Nintendo can sell us both the Zelda Wii U
and the separate LE of TWWHD with the figurine.
US Edition
EUR Edition
I didn't know this before but it looks like maybe the EUR version is getting a 7-day free trial for Wii U Karaoke instead of the digital copy of Hyrule Historia. Oh and just found this out too, looks like the
golden script on the GamePad actually has meaning. Cool.
