I tried to order a W Pack from Lik-Sang but they removed the listings from their website. Amazon Japan also seems to have removed any listing of the W-Packs and no other importer seems to have acknowledged its existence - Nintendo of Japan has also not updated its GameCube website with any listings either. Any shoppers in Japan see these packs on store shelves?

What's a W pack?

Two Japanese GameCube games bundled into one for a low price.

TIGHT! I need those two games yet.

^That was actually the pack I was hoping to purchase.

Damn! SSBM and SMKD??!!?? Why the fuck did these not fly off of shelves? Those are two of the best multiplayer Nintendo titles ever!

 

[Miburou]

That's not exactly cheap. Why don't they just have something like Sony's Mega Hits or The Best?

 

[goodcow]

It's cheap for Nintendo.

You're essentially paying 2000 Yen for the second game. That's technically a discount, right? I want to buy the pack but no store's carrying it and Ebay doesn't have it.

maybe Nintendo decided against the idea for whatever reason, though i think its a good idea - that or they're delaying it or something.

If I had to speculate, they may be postponing them until after PM2 Launches...figured they have a hardware boost already, and will wait a few weeks/months before boosting hardware again.
