Sam's Club's  Wii Family Fun Bundle photo

We're less than a week away from the beloved/dreaded Black Friday, and we're already witnessing crazed gamers and soccer moms fretting over Nintendo Wii availability. Hey moms, little Timmy is going to be pissed if you don't get him one. You had better do your research.

Sam's Club chimes in with some help to gift givers: starting November 23rd, the company will offer a Wii Family Bundle, which contains the console, a grand total of three Nunchucks and Wii Remotes, the console pack-in Wii Sports, as well as Super Paper Mario, Mario Party 8, and Brunswick Pro Bowling. This grouping seems pretty well-rounded, and the whole family should dig at least one of the games. Note that this bundle is a special deal that Sam's Club worked out with Nintendo, and after these are sold, no more will be made available.

There is a limit of one bundle per member for those sold from 5:00 a.m to 7:00 a.m on Friday, November 23rd. After 7:00 a.m., members will be allowed to buy up the remaining units. While a membership is needed to purchase a bundle online, non-members can purchase one in the stores, though a fee applies.

We tried our best to get a price for the bundle, but they're keeping that under wraps for now. Sam's Club did tell Destructoid that there will only be two pallets of these bundles per store, so if you're thinking about scoring one, you had better get in line after turkey time!

Man they should have gone with Wii Play instead of that Brunswick Bowling game.

VG: not a bad idea, but Brunswick is pretty solid.

Mario Party doesn't seem very family friendly as I've heard it incites massive amounts of swearing.

Except for that Brunswick game, that actually wouldn't be a bad family bundle. Usually family is code for "bundled with games rated E".

I don't think I quite get this sentence: Hey moms, little Timmy is going to be pissed if you get him one.

Yay, let's make people hysterical because there's limited ammounts!

Fun fun fun.

[/sarcasm] I'm sick of retail strategies to make people hysterical because there aren't any fucking Wiis. 5am? Stupidity.

I'll continue praying and committing animal sacrifice to get in on the $79 amazon deal.

I hated Mario Party 8, in particular that one battle game in which the player is required to cross a tightrope while balancing a pole with the remote. I swore for the first time in my life when I lost right at the end.

They couldn't have thrown in a) one more wiimote and nunchuck and b) given them Super Mario Galaxy instead of some crappy bowling game that's about the same as Wii Bowling?
