Nintendo to launch special blue Wii bundle at London 2012 Olympic Games

Nintendo to launch special blue Wii bundle at London 2012 Olympic Games European unit of Videogame hardware giant Nintendo has confirmed that it would launch a special blue Wii console bundle at the London 2012 Olympic Games.

The special console will bring a blue Wii console, a blue Wii Remote Plus, sticker sheet, Nunchuk, along with a copy of Sega's new game Mario and Sonic.

Previously, Mario and Sonic helped Nintendo enjoy great success at the Olympic Games and at the Winter Olympic Games. Mario and Sonic, one of the most active videogames so far, appeal to gamers of all ages.

However, the blue Wii, the new European version of the Wii announced previous month, doesn't support GameCube games and controllers.

Nintendo is expected to announce more bundles in the coming few months as its Wii platform, which is going to complete five years in December, has been facing cut-throat competition form rivals.

The blue Wii console will be launched in November to match with the launch of Mario and Sonic at the London Olympic Games next years.
