Various Japanese retailers have begun advertising “W-packs,” which are two-game bundles of Nintendo GameCube titles sold for a price close to that of a single game.
Each W-Pack will retail for 7,880 yen (about $73). By comparison, purchasing two Nintendo titles at their standard retail price would total 12,180 yen (or roughly $113). Currently the W-Packs contain five different Nintendo GameCube titles, bundled in different permutations, as well as a special W-Pack of Pikmin and Pikmin 2, which comes packaged with five Pikmin figures; this W-Pack will cost a bit more at 8,980 yen (about $83). The W-Packs are scheduled to go on sale starting July 23. No plans have been announced by Nintendo to offer these packs in North America.
Here is a list of all the W-Pack combinations:
· Pikmin & Pikmin 2
· Mario Party 5 & Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
· Mario Party 5 & Custom Robo
· Custom Robo & Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
· Kirby Air Ride & Custom Robo
· Kirby Air Ride & Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
· Kirby Air Ride & Mario Party 5
· Kirby Air Ride & Super Smash Bros. Melee
· Super Smash Bros. Melee & Custom Robo
· Super Smash Bros. Melee & Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
· Super Smash Bros. Melee & Mario Party 5

Just recently, I was debating with myself on whether to get Wario Ware or Wario World. Now, I'm going to wait just in case.
