I believe its the non hori one. So white with Mario on the bottom.
Hopefully it gets patched in not long after release.

Ahh sorry I meant digitally. I only buy digital these days, and I wanted the SMK discount but £50 is AU$92 which is a rip off.
Download code at game.co.uk is £39.

Yeah, you'd be mad to pay the actual eShop price directly. Get a code from Game and you'll save a lot of money and still be digital.
Brilliant! I didn't even think of using the actual logo "8"! I guess that's why I don't make this stuff, haha.
I have been trying to cut down on any mario kart stuff ever since the direct, but most nights I still end up youtubing the latest MK8 related things uploaded that day...
That said, we are getting there! Soon it will be upon us and we'll wonder what it was like without Mario Kart 8.
It sucked.
What do they mean by "near release date" these days? Do we get the email at midnight or later?
For SM3DW I got the download code 3 days before the release date.
Nice! I thought they were not doing that anymore. Hmm, I'll try to get 5gig of free space on my wii u.
You get the code instantly now. It activates around midnight.

Will this code work in other European countries?
Yep, worked for Pikmin 3.
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate/WW HD/Pikmin 3/W101 are imo the best games in the offer.So 8 days to go until I get my Steelbook edition
And I still dont know which free game I should pick...HELP
I already have two of those, but I can't decide between Pikmin3 and W101. Help me GAF :S

If you're badass and risky, The Wonderful 101.
If you're safe but have high standards, Pikmin 3.

Out of those 10 games I only got WindWaker..I'm thinking about NSMBU/Pikmin 3/Nintendoland/Wii Party U but I want some kind of multiplayer though Mario Kart 8 will be the major multiplayer title for the next 6 months I guess
NEver played Pikmin before and the WOnderful 101 demo wasnt very interesting (just my opinion dont shit on me)
I would say Pikmin 3. Mainly because I think it's great. But also, isn't W101 pretty cheap now?

Yep.
Yeah and based on full price.
I would get W101 but its 12gigs so I'll go for pikmin or zelda and sell my copy.

Great... what about the snes mario kart discount? i bought it and apparently Nintendo gives you the 8 back when buying mario kart 8.

I doubt Game will give you a discount for this. Like me you will have to choose which discount is better.
Pikmin 3 is the best game on the system right now.

I can't seem to find the Super Mario Kart promo terms anymore. Apparently after the wonderful101 issues (registering Pikmin 3 before launch not getting 30% off) bought codes won't get these bonuses (likewise Mairo Golf code won't give you GBC Mario Golf). But thing is if you bought the code for that from GAME you can also buy the code for MK8 from them and still be better off.
It should work:
*-I'm guessing the different branding is due to sales taxes not making it 10% for most of them
You are probably aware that the European download codes won't work in on the Australian eShop (but it is no problem making an using a UK NNID).
It should do. I don't expect it to work in Oceania (Aus, NZ) as the NNP site has them as a separate region (but it all links to the same info :S ).
We don't get those in Europe, instead we get Nintendo Network Premium points*

As long as amazon delivers my copy on release date I would have choose any version. The steelbook is a well received extra
Love the bright colors and art in this game, but the jaggies are really a shame. It seems strange to me that there's no AA solution whatsoever when the previous first party WiiU titles have had rather good image quality.
For those curious what the game would look like anti-aliased, I went ahead and rerendered a few scenes with anti-aliasing on. Anti-aliased versions are on the right.

lol, this is pretty much me. Except I don't even play online at all because most of the fun for me comes from local multiplayer with kart racers. I usually just play to unlock everything and maybe 3-star all the cups, then the game just sits collecting dust until friends are visiting.
I might play online with MK8, but I'm not sure.
