Wow that 329.99 bundle is kinda sex

**Adajer** · 2014-04-30 09:14

I knew there would be Wii U bundles. Still considering holding out for SSB.

**Serra** · 2014-04-30 13:43

Sweet, that Club Nintendo offer falls between years. Was planning to wait to get it for cheap (and I might wait for a deal still..), but getting Pikmin for free will certainly help.

**Adajer** · 2014-04-30 14:04

And getting the game for like $20 off too right? console is normally $300.

**Ratatapa** · 2014-04-30 14:57

The game's supposed to be $60, so it's $30 off.

Depends on how you look at it. $300 has gotten you a 32GB Wii U with a game for a while now, which Mario Kart 8 takes the place of. Then you're paying an extra $30 for a Wiimote and wheel you may or may not want.

**SephYuyX** · 2014-04-30 16:17

That was a very interesting direct video.

**Madeline** · 2014-04-30 16:35

Hm, I'd planned to buy Pikmin, but since I plan to buy MK8, there's no point as it's one of a few free titles for registering it? Is that correct? lol

Well that's nice. I'll just pick up MH instead since a friend has been bugging me to get it.

I kinda do need a Motion plus Wiimote. I only have original.

My only two concerns are with storage. How much of that 32gb will a pikmin 3 or Zelda take up when downloaded?

And I'm still tempted to hold out for the SSB bundle in hopes of a larger HD and better deal overall. I'll probably just go ahead and pull the trigger on this one though.

Zelda takes like 2gig

**Serra** · 2014-04-30 18:09

Also, if I'm not mistaken, the WiiU supports external storage, so just buy like a cheap external drive or something if space becomes an issue.

Their online store is down until the 9th for maintenance, but Nintendo has had refurb Motion Plus remotes (with Nunchuck) for $20. Lately, they've also had refurb Nintendoland bundle 32GB Wii Us for $200. So if the main thing is cost, going for those and buying Mario Kart 8 on its own would cut the price down some and net you a third game.

**Adajer** · 2014-04-30 21:14

Not so much cost, just waiting on the sweetest deal. This deal is nice, I just dont want to be upset when they make a SSB special edition. I want to play me some Donkey kong and mario kart though.

**Serra** · 2014-04-30 21:37

I dunno if it'd be a special edition. I imagine the best bundle will just be with a digital download of the game.

**Kirin** · 2014-04-30 22:45

I'm in the same spot with Wii U now that I was with the 3DS XL.

As soon as I buy one for Pokemon (Mario Kart) there will be a special edition bundle for Smash/Big E3 Announcement (Zelda: ALBW) announced like a week later.

Damn this is tempting though.

Mario Kart 8
http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/...865581-mk8.png

Spoiler: show

One month from today, Mario Kart 8 will be driving players wild with anti-gravity racing action. To get people revved up for the Wii U game, Nintendo released a new Nintendo Direct video that announced some additional news nuggets, including a Mario Kart 8 Wii U bundle, a free downloadable game offer for Wii U owners who buy Mario Kart 8, details about online features, cool new characters and devastating new items.

“Everyone loves Mario Kart,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “It’s a franchise that brings people together for fun at a family gathering, a frenzied race against friends or just an afternoon break at the office. The numerous new features of Mario Kart 8 make this the most ambitious version yet, and one that will have players of all skill levels racing for the checkered flag.”

Some of the new information announced today included

• Mario Kart 8 Wii U Bundle: People who don’t yet own a Wii U system will find it easy to get in on the action. On May 30 Nintendo is releasing the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Set bundle that includes a Wii U Deluxe Set system, a Mario Kart 8 game, a red Mario Wii Wheel accessory and a red Mario Wii Remote Plus controller, all at a suggested retail price of just $329.99.

• Get a Free Digital Game: People who buy Mario Kart 8 and register the game with Club Nintendo before July 31 will receive a free Nintendo eShop download code for an additional Wii U game. Players can grow their Wii U digital game collections by choosing from one of these well-received Wii U games: New Super Mario Bros. U, Pikmin 3, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD or Wii Party U. That’s a two-for-one deal featuring some of the all-time great Wii U games. This offer also applies to people who get the game in the Mario Kart 8 bundle or digitally in the Nintendo eShop.

• Online Multiplayer: Up to 12 players can race together online in four different multiplayer modes, as long as everyone has a broadband Internet connection. Like to trash-talk your friends while you’re preparing for a race? You’re in luck! Mario Kart 8 lets players chat with one another in the lobby area using the Wii U GamePad microphone or text phrases as they wait for their friends to join. Players also can create public or private tournaments for which they specify the day of the week, the time and the rules. Per tradition, players will be able to race against ghost data from friends or even the top 10 worldwide racers. They can try to beat them or just pick up a few tips and tricks from studying the best. If you beat the development team’s ghosts, you’ll get cool stamps for use in Miiverse posts.

• Mario Kart TV: As previously announced, players can watch their highlight racing reels, rewind them, play them in slow motion or upload them to Miiverse. They can watch the world’s most popular highlight reels and comment on them. But players with Google accounts can also upload their reels directly to their YouTube channels.

• New Items: Items are what make Mario Kart games so balanced. No matter how skilled racers are, they’re just a blue Spiny Shell away from disaster. A well-timed item can also turn defeat into victory in an instant. The new Super Horn blows away all other items – literally. Sounding the Super Horn issues forth a sonic shock wave that blasts away everything in the vicinity, including other drivers, Red Shells and even blue Spiny Shells. It’s a potent asset, especially for drivers trying to maintain their lead. Mario Kart 8 also introduces the Crazy Eight, a swirl of eight different items that lucky players can use one by one.

• New Racers: Two new playable female characters make their debut appearances in Mario Kart 8. New heavyweight driver Pink Gold Peach glows with a golden light and makes a nice counterpart to Metal Mario. Baby Rosalina shows up for a play date with other Baby characters. As in past Mario Kart games, players can again choose to play as their Mii characters, which rounds out the field of racers to an even 30.
