If you buy the game at retail or on the eShop, and register it on Club Nintendo, you can get a free game from the eShop! Bundle and LE copies included! Both Europe (+ Australia) and NA confirmed too!

For those interested in the size of each game (minus DLC and updates), I found this (it's in French apparently... but I don't think it matters all that much ;)).

Well that's cool, except for the fact that Mario & Sonic is the only one of those I don't already own, and I don't really want it ;_; ... tis Free though I guess, I could equally get Ninty Land and then sell my Ninty Land Disc for some pennies.

I'm one of those crazy folk that has gone all Digital... on a Nintendo Platform... Cos I'm clearly off my meds X_X.

Does this also apply to physical copies registered on Club Nintendo? Wouldn't mind Zelda... but Wii U's memory is far too small.

Available for NoA too, but works if you buy physical copie. Unfortunately, it's only one of four games: NSMBU, Pikmin 3, WWHD, Wii Party U.

Damn NOE going all out. I am kind of jealous to be sure. Granted I own most of those titles but I would probably sell my copy of Piknin and go digital. Was going to go disc for MK8 too.

Here's to hoping NOA shows up

I hope this promotion is also for NA as well. While I'll keep my physical preorder of the game, getting Mario Kart 8 digitally along with a free copy of Pikmin 3 sounds very tempting.

EDIT: Okay, seen the Mario Kart 8 NA direct. Register Mario Kart 8 at Club Nintendo between May 30th and July 31st and receive a free digital download code of the following:

- Pikmin 3
- New Super Mario Bros. U
- The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD
- Wii Party U

Not until I see an account system. I'll gladly pay extra for security.


And the only title I want, Wonderful 101 has been on sale dirt cheap anyway.

Scandinavia weeps since we're not able to register our Nintendo products. I guess those who buy the digital version get one here as well, though.

Not like I wasn't going to buy it day one anyway.

Edit: Fuck. The only game in that list I don't have is Sochi, haha.

Please bring this deal to the States.....even though I already own 6 of the games on there (Nintendo Land, NSMBU, Sonic Lost World, Wind Waker HD, Pikmin 3, & W101).

Come here, Monster Hunter!

Damn, I would have loved to get Wonderful 101, but Wind Waker HD is still tempting. Hopefully can work the budget out to get this.

Already have the three I want off that list, not interested in the others.

Besides, Mario Kart games hold their re-sale value insanely well. I'll get 2/3 of my buying price back easy.

Edit: Retail too!?!? Niiiiiiice

Looks like I'll finally be getting Wonderful 101.

NOOO!!!

I already own all of those. Oh well, my gaming plate is already completely full right now anyway.

If Nintendo release an MK8 bundle for $300 and that qualifies for this offer, I'd gladly buy one with MK8 and WWHD (free).

Welp, the only game out of the free ones for NA that I don't own is Wii Party U... guess I'm getting my party on?

Man, that's a really good offer. If I could find a Mario Kart bundle for £200, and if it was compatible with that offer, I'd probably make the call to customer services to sort out re-linking my NNID.

Good stuff.

Was already going to buy it Digitally, with the Mario Kart Virtual Console discount. Now adding another free game makes this a no brainer.

Not sure what to get though, of those games I don't own:

Monster Hunter (but I have the 3DS version)
Sonic and Mario at the Olympics
Game and Wario
Pikmin 3 (own the Wii Pikmin 1 port and never got into it)
NSMB

Of those 5 I suppose I'm leaning towards Pikmin 3, but I don't know a lot about Game and Wario... I'll have to do some research.

Or I could get a digital version of one of the game I already own and sell the disc.

The North American line-up seems lacking, but then again, I haven't played Pikmin 3 yet. So, no real qualms here. Very cool promotion.

I own almost everything there but have been meaning to pick up Sonic Lost World cheap. Awesome promo :D

I'm almost certain it's eligible. You just need to register the game, so that'll apply to the bundled copy too. It's likely that's why they're doing this - pick up an MK8 bundle and you're getting an extra free game with it of your choice.

Wait, so let me be clear. If I (using a US Wii U) buy a physical copy of MK8 and register it on Club Nintendo, I can get NSMBU or WWHD free digitally? That's fucking awesome!

Where's the press release / source for the US?

According to the MK8 NA Direct, if you buy the Mario Kart 8 Wii U Bundle, it will qualify for the free digital game offer. However, the Wii U bundle will cost $329.99. It comes with the deluxe system, MK8 disc, a red Wii wheel accessory, and a Mario Wii Remote Plus controller.

I hear Game & Wario is kind of a shallow game. I think you'll be better off with The Wonderful 101.

Obviously going to get Wind Waker.....


But it seems a little mean of nintendo to not add at least Game and Wario for NA.

I mean, i do own Game and Wario, but i can see most people dont have it since its one of those games you buy "when you see it on sale"

..while a lot of people got Wind Waker HD day one.
