Despite the Sonic theme, the system (one of the new-model (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/08/17/new-european-wii-model-loses-gamecube-compatibility/), GameCube-free Wiis) is a lighter blue than the hedgehog. It will include the game, a matching Wii Remote Plus, and likely a Nunchuk in the same color.
When Nintendo announced (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/08/17/new-european-wii-model-loses-gamecube-compatibility/) the new Wii configuration back in August, it suggested that other bundles would be on the way. We don't think it would only have been referring to this one -- which means we should look forward to more variants in Europe this holiday. We should also look forward to colossal sales from this game, as always!
