    • TRENT86 on 23/11/2014 - 13:21

      I don't know why and it's actually bullcrap PS4 And XB1 Constantly get good bundles but Wii U get left out, either they are still selling well enough not to do it or they are just really stupid retailers

          Nothing to do with them, retailers set their own bundles outside of the Nintendo ones, but I agree on the point they don't promote very well

          @TRENT86: Not really up to the retailers. Unless they get a better price from their supplier they can't afford to do deals as the margins on consoles are razor thin.

        • TRENT86 on 23/11/2014 - 15:23
          -5

          @johnno07: Course it's up to retailers, if they can offer console bundles for $189 then they can offer some for $349, Someone will do if before xmas it's just a matter of who, they are being smart like Nintendo not bundling SSB But other games could be bundled

        • johnno07 on 23/11/2014 - 18:47
          +1

          @TRENT86: Like Diji I said, and Diji1 provided evidence for - profit margins on consoles are absolutely miniscule. Unless they are deciding to use it as a loss leader, a retailer is not going to sell a Wii U at a loss. That's pretty bad business. That means they will wait for a better price from their supplier before they can actually pass those savings along to the customer. Pretty simple economics.

        • TRENT86 on 23/11/2014 - 19:02

          @johnno07: But we have seen it before $189 bundle

          Blame Nintendo and their margins Trent, there's nothing 'bullcrap' about retailers not wanting to lose money to make a sale.

          @TRENT86:
          and that was a one time, CLEARANCE sale of the old hardware, which is no longer manufactured.

          the premiums that sold at that price was purely a mistake which KMart decided to honour due to public pressure.

          @gizmomelb: Premiums were sold for $189? I don't remember that

  • TRANCE on 23/11/2014 - 13:28

    Is smash bros still releasing on the 29th at target though? So the Thursday 27th date is just the start of the other deals?

    • TRENT86 on 23/11/2014 - 13:37
      +1

      Yep, you will still only be able to get it 29th :)

  • Lockdude on 23/11/2014 - 13:36

    Hi OP, are you able to upload some pictures? I assume you got this from the catalogue.

  • Lockdude on 23/11/2014 - 13:54

    Also, do they mention the actual Super Smash Bros Gamecube controller?

    edit - sorry, just saw the picture you uploaded! Thanks!

    • TRENT86 on 23/11/2014 - 13:55

      Yeah put in post now :) $1 cheaper than Eb :)

      • Lockdude on 23/11/2014 - 14:00

        Well, I'm price matching the bundle with the adapter, so I might as well price match the controller while I'm at it! That's an extra $1 to pay off my Amiibo debt, haha!

  • DealzEddy123 on 23/11/2014 - 13:58

    Is the game cube controller better for playing?
    I've never owned a gamecube so would it be OK for me just to play using normal Wii U remotes?

    • TRENT86 on 23/11/2014 - 14:01
      +5

      Omg it's soooooo good and fits the hands perfectly, the best controller Nintendo has made, although I love the new Pro controller

      Is the game cube controller better for playing?

      I can't see how it would be better than the Wii U pro controller…

      • chuie on 23/11/2014 - 21:17

        Form factor and button layout on the GCN controller is perfect for Smash. That's it.

        Nothing wrong with the Wii U pro controller, but from my own experience it feels compromised in its design to appear a certain way. On the other hand, the GCN controller is more functional and seems designed purely for gaming purposes.

        • jv on 23/11/2014 - 22:34

          I don't see the point of spending almost $200 for controllers that can only be used on one game…

        • Cyb3rGlitch on 23/11/2014 - 23:59
          +6

          @jv: A lot of people already own GC controllers.

          @Cyb3rGlitch:

          I have 3 or 4 wave birds (wireless GC controllers) and 2 regular GC controllers.

          (PLus the bongo drums for GC)

    • Lockdude on 23/11/2014 - 14:02

      I guess it's preference. I've been playing smash bros from N64. So for me the Gamecube controller felt great, so when Brawl came out I kept using it. So now I've just grown so used to using it it's my preferred choice. I find the button placement is just less awkward on a controller opposed to a Wii U remote. I think a Pro-Controller would be fine if that was what I was used to. I do think the normal Wii U remote is going to be a little awkward, but I guess I'll reiterate, this is only my opinion formed from conditioning. To be honest, any control scheme is probably fine once you get used to it =)

    • mr kindface on 23/11/2014 - 14:06

      It's mainly targeted towards people who are used to using the gamecube controller for SSB Melee and Brawl, where switching to a different controller would be crazy. If you're not experienced, like me, the wiiu controller will be fine

      • TRENT86 on 23/11/2014 - 14:10
        +1

        But to be honest I think the Gamecube button positions are a little better than the pro because the pro is more chunky

        • jv on 23/11/2014 - 22:36

          but is it worth spending $49 per controller, and only being able to use them on one game… that's almost $200 for 4 controllers !!!

        • TRENT86 on 23/11/2014 - 23:12
          +1

          @jv: Nah you can use others along side it too so I can use my gamecube and my friends can use my pro controllers

        • argonide on 24/11/2014 - 23:18

          @jv:

          The game can take up to 8 controllers, so you could spend almost $400 for 8 controllers.

      Please be aware that the Game Cube controller is only compatible with Super Smash Bros.
      It won't work with any other games, at least for the moment.

        • Diji1 on 23/11/2014 - 16:42

          @TRENT86: of course. Probably around the same time they run out of people to sell the controller to.

    • LolwutMikka on 30/11/2014 - 14:21

      Best controller I've used hands down. Played a bit of Smash using the pro Wii U controller and while it's ok, nothing compares. Shame I don't have the GCN adapter for it yet otherwise I'd be playing it more…

  • fiend on 23/11/2014 - 15:11

  • COR80 on 23/11/2014 - 19:46

    How much does a gamecube and controllers in good condition go for these days anyway?

    • Rick Sanchez on 23/11/2014 - 21:06
      +1

      If its anything like when the wii first came out, gc controllers went up to $40 each. Wavebirds were like $100+. Then interest died down.

      With the GC adaptors and controllers selling out fast, they could be worth a fair bit in the next few weeks.

      • COR80 on 23/11/2014 - 21:11

        Thanks, I was thinking the same, might be a good time to put it on Gumtree.

  • Rick Sanchez on 23/11/2014 - 21:11

    I have a question regarding the Game Cube controller. Does the new game cube controller that they are selling for $49 need the Game Cube adapter or does it just connect to the Wiimote?

    I actually bought mine from the gamesmen because it's pretty much guaranteed it would be in my hands, plus I like them and I really need it launch day as I am hosting a launch event at my place.

      I just called Target at Chadstone (Melbourne) and they said they don't take pre-orders.

  • kngu32 on 24/11/2014 - 17:53

    Im guessing the ps4 bundle is for the black version?

    Am looking for a good white bundle deal for weeks now. Been checking here at Ozbarg everyday. Should I be expecting any close to christmas?

    • TRENT86 on 24/11/2014 - 17:58

      I think the white is in limited stock so your more likely to see black bundles and yes this is the black one :)

  • Sonic97 on 24/11/2014 - 19:15

    Went to my local Target this morning at 8am to get the Smash Bros + GameCube adapter. At 8:06am, it's sold out!! I was the lucky last but they only had 4.
    Guy after wanted one as well and all I heard was him saying "you're kidding" and the guy at the counter trying to check if there are more.
    Good luck to those trying to get one today!

    Target Carindale had 8 Smash + Gamecube Adapter bundles stock in total. I think there were 3 left after I bought mine at 8:10am (probably gone by now). There were quite a few of copies of the game by itself still on the shelf… maybe 20 or more.

    I saw a couple of people loading trolleys full with amiibos - wouldn't be surprised if they cleaned them out.
