MELBOURNE, VIC: Nintendo has announced a change to the bundle pack that consumers receive when they purchase the game console. From next Thursday (28 October 2010), consumers will receive the Wii console, Wii Sports Resort and the Wii Remote Plus for RRP $299.

This is the same RRP as the previous bundle, which only included the Wii Remote. According to Nintendo, the Wii Remote Plus has greater control enhancement functionality. The Wii is available in either black or white.

Consumers who wish to purchase the Wii Remote Plus on its own can do so for RRP $69. It is available in pink, blue, black and white.

Also announced today is the availability of the Classic Controller Pro (RRP $34) in both black and white. This controller resembles the old Nintendo dual hand model used on its 64 and GameCube devices.
