UK retailer offering Limited Tin Edition of New Super Mario Bros. Wii

by JC Fletcher on Oct 15th 2009 10:00PM

We've all heard the complaint, and most of us have thought it ourselves: New Super Mario Bros. Wii looks great, and we appreciate the new multiplayer focus and all, but you just can't easily use the box as a coin bank. And that's a shame.

Well, there ain't no shame in UK retailer GAME, who is taking preorders on a Limited Tin Edition of the game. The Tin Edition comes in a rather fetching tin case, with a slot at the top that makes it suitable for use as a bank. It'll be out in Europe on the same November 20 date as the normal edition, for 49.99. The regular, non-tin version is currently on the site for 34.99.

I can't wait for this game.

Ah no American tin -_-

that's kinda cool. A tin box. =D

I agree. I'd buy it if I lived in the UK...

Not bad. But a coin bank?

Mario loves him some coins.

Look, Luigi! There are coins EVERYWHERE!

I HOPE SHE MADE LOTSA SPAGHETTI!

or a band aid case

Girlfriend and I's laundry fund is in a Fire Mario coin bank, twas a fine bday present :) I'd post a pic but I can't find one on the webz and I don't care enough to throw one up on the bucket or flicker.

That's pretty rad, Markez.

Found it :) Can't find the suction cup thingy Mario she gave me one year that's on the mirror in the bathroom, though. I'm a lucky fella, she recently split the PS3 slim cost with me and she's hardcore into college fball.

Bidding now...

What about US retailers? I want that with the force of a thousand suns! Well, maybe just the force of several suns....

The game retails for $40? Wow, that's only $5 more than I bought the OLD New Super Mario Bros. for.. Way to go Nintendo!

I'm guessing, since its the UK...they meant either GBP or Euros...

40 Pounds Sterling, I believe...

Yup, click the link. It's £. Don't know why they left the numbers bare there

Yeah, thats pretty standard UK pricing, and works out as about $57US for the standard and $82US for the tin. The US RRP (I think you guys call it MSRP) is $49.99. Man I hate the "being british tax" (at least its not as bad as MW2)

Though that's before the sales tax that differs per state. When I was over in Seattle for pPAX I picked up the new Layton, and it ended up costing the same as if I'd bought it here.
Also, the expense may be swayed by the fact that Wii games, especially first party, generally go on sale for the same as PS3 & 360 games at £39.99. For those games the retail price is generally equal thanks to the pounds regaining (slowly) strength - it's round about €1.6 to the pound now where it dipped close to $1.20 at one point.
In the US the Wii games go on sale $10 cheaper to begin with.

Seriously. Tin for the win!

Ah, old (new) school platforming. Just how I love ya Mario. Don't ever change.... on second thought, Super Smash Bros. is pretty cool... and Paper Mario.... and Bowser's Inside story...

Ah Mario, don't ever make a movie again- ever.

I'm a sucker for pre-order bonuses.

Wait. What's that? You say you have to pay extra for a tin box?

Uh... I think I'll pass. I'm not even on the right side of the Atlantic.

Wow:

Goddamn you, Fernando. Now I want it even more.

Daredevil achievements afoot?

That looks so fun! Its a good hing they added the demo play mode, this game looks challenging.

Holy crap.

I saw you post this same video on Destructoid... lurking around other blogs, are we?

Ehh, it's only smart to... elsewise, you end up only getting half the story, sometimes.

I'd keep my Super Mario Galaxy preorder coin inside it.

THIS FOR THE U.S. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want that

Along with the next No More Heroes game, this will be one of my only Wii purchases for a while.

I hope the US gets that nice case, too.

I'd be all over this if they offered it in the US. That tin is awesome and would be quite a cool thing to have in my collection.

I am too excited to play it. And just gonna have it sooner. Is it available within my region??vitamin b

I might actually pick this up as a present for my friends.

cute! looks so fun

It's £15, so it would end up an extra $24 or so if it goes over to the US.

Should be a free preorder bonus, though. Like that neat little coin they packaged with preorder versions of Galaxy

Are they going to do this for all "wii-makes". They have already done it for metroid trilogy. And this is just a fancy version of new super mario bros ds.
