I guess I am in for an MK8/Pikmin combo

 

[Fandangox]

Seriously, I don't usually go for digital Nintendo games if they're available at retail, but this one time, I'm making an exception. The deal is that good.

The offer is both digital and retail.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

Wow. This works for retail? I'm definitely in on day one. Finally a free game offer I can partake in.

I guess I'll get Game & Wario as Pikmin 3 doesn't interest me. As long as it's the same list for NA.

 

[Kai Dracon]

Given that a lot of Wii U owners are likely to already have NSMB U and Wind Waker, I hope this results in a whole lot of people finally trying Pikmin 3. AKA Nintendo's secret best game.

 

[pfr]

You make a Club Nintendo account in a country with one. If you game does not come with a slip it won't work. If you import the game from a country with Club Nintendo it will come with a slip (if it does not contact that countries customer support with proof of purchase). In the case of digital versions you have to link the Club Nintendo account to an NNID. That NNID then owns the game (but all NNID on the system can play it).

I've made a secondary UK Club Nintendo account/NNID on my Wii U with a fake address and have some points redeemed there. Obviously can't use the points to get the physical items, but this is an offer I guess I could use, even if Scandinavia is officially excluded from the offer. Hope so.

 

[liger05]

Nice. I'll get Wind Waker

 

[SoraanTribal]

I'm really bummed at the lack of free game options for NA. Why the difference? I already have 3 of those games, and I don't give a shit about the party game...

 

[jdforge]

W101 will be mine at last.

 

[Randdalf]

Wind Waker I guess for me.

 

[Kouriozan]

But that limited edition!
I already have all those games anyway.

 

[Steph_E.]

I have a games backlog on my (day 1) Wii U, which means I have not got around to buying Pikmin or Wind Waker yet, so this offer is like manna from heaven for me.

 

[Regiruler]

It seems I'll be getting pikmin 3

 

[Alcoholikaust]

Really weak list for NA. already own the three good titles on that list-I'll be damned if if I'm stuck with WiiU party as a freebie

will continue to wait for better deal on the game

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

You have two options. USB extrernal HDD or SD Card.

Yeah, i just remembered that I have a 1 TB external HDD just collecting dust in my home. I guess it's time it got some work done.

is there a time frame for this deal?

 

[GulAtiCa]

Awesome!

 

[?oe?oe]

Someone should fix the title...

 

[Lavpa Jasai]

So I have all the NA games :/

Do you get a code to redeem? Would it be possible to sell the code?

 

[Entryhazard]

So I have all the NA games :/

Do you get a code to redeem? Would it be possible to sell the code?

yes you can

 

[The Giant]

Will be getting Monster Hunter.

 

[Oni Link 666]

The only one of those games I don't own is Wii Party U. Maybe I'll just get a digital version of one of the ones I already have. Damn NOA.

 

[dragonflys545]

Awesome!!!

 

[stewy]

Free Pikmin 3 with my retail copy of Mario Kart 8? Sure!

 

[Lavpa Jasai]

yes you can

Excellent! It would be nice to not have to put in the Wii Party U disk but not 40$ nice..

 

[Coppanuva]

Wind waker it is then! Awesome that I can get 2 games that won't be going down in price soon for roughly half off.

 

[KojiKnight]

The only one of those games I don't own is Wii Party U. Maybe I'll just get a digital version of one of the ones I already have. Damn NOA.

You could get a code for one you already have and then sell it (either the physical or the code).

 

[PirateKing]

I don't understand, what does "could claim" actually mean? If I but MK8, will I be able to 100% get of those choices?

 

[Vanillalite]

I don't understand, what does "could claim" actually mean? If I but MK8, will I be able to 100% get of those choices?

There is probably a time frame involved, and obviously you can chose not to register. So you wouldn't be claiming your free game.

 

[PhoenixDawn]

Good deal. I struggled justifying buying Wind Waker HD considering I already own the original but getting it for free for buying a game I was already 100% on certainly eliminates any indecision. :lol

 

[Spades]

Wii Party or Sonic for me. I have all the others. Quite fancy Sonic, but it can be found pretty cheaply. What's Wii Party like?

 

[Madnesslink5]

UK Gaf: What do you think the best (cheapest) option is to get a Wii U + MK8 ( + WWHD will be my free download)?

 

[PSGames]

Is Wii Party U any good?

 

[nbnt]

The only one of those games I don't own is Wii Party U. Maybe I'll just get a digital version of one of the ones I already have. Damn NOA.

Exactly the same here damn you NoA..

 

[aygomyownroad]

That's how you do a promo! Going to get W101
Just hope its eay to do it from Retail...
MS and Sony take note!

 

[SaintMadeOfPlaster]

Wow, amazing deal. Looks like I'll finally get around to playing Pikmin 3!

 

[LAA]

Really awesome of Nintendo to do this...
Don't really know what I want though... I own WWHD, NSMBU, TW101, Pikmin 3, Nintendo land and I did have MH3U, but sold it.. Maybe I'll get that again I guess..
Can anyone reccommend anything else on that list?

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

brb moving to Europe so I can get W101 for free.

I have three of the ones for NA, and don't want Wii Party. Blah, come on NoA.

 

[Shauni]

So wait, we are actually getting some of this in NA? That surprises me, but I'm glad. Wish we had more of a selection, but I've been keen on getting Pikmin 3 to try out the franchise.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

US gets the short end of the stick and I already own all the best games for EU. So Monster Hunter it is.

 

[Mango The Magician]

Guess I'll get Pikmin 3, though I kinda wanted a physical version of that, but you can't beat free; what to do?

 

[Necrovex]

I was on the cliff about buying MK8, but that along with Wind Waker HD for only $50 is too much to decline!

 

[Dicer]

WW FTW, hell of a nice offer.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

This is the kind of promotion that moves units. I'm extremely impressed. Preordered.

What's the consensus of the best of the bunch (EU)? I own TW101 and I hate platformers. I think Sonic is the franchise I like the best, but I dunno if I'll like lost world, even free (the demo is shit) any ideas?

 

[Vandole]

I feel like an ass complaining about a free game that I never expected to get, but damn the only choice for me is Wii Party U. Gahhhh...

 

[Hasney]

Is Wii Party U any good?

I've had some fun with it. I'd rather it be closer in structure to Mario Party, but the fashion and Gamepad boards are fun.

 

[Mrbob]

NA offers suck. Give me the Europe selection of games.

 

[Yaari]

Never played Wind Waker but I really wanted Pikmin 3 and never ended up getting it. What a great deal, and what a luxury problem.. lol.


Great deal.

 

[Regiruler]

Is it possible to do this without owning a Wii U? Wouldn't mind stocking up for when I do get one.

Probably. You register the game and get a download code for the free title.

I don't know when the code itself would expire though.

 

[Midnight Believer]

I can't avoid Monster Hunter 3 for much longer.

 

[Ludicrous Speed]

Best Buy has a promotion for a $10 gas card when you preorder. That doesn't really interest me since I don't have a car. Any other promotions out there?

 

[Nudull]

Hm, Pikmin 3 or Wind Waker?
