Nintendo : buy Mario Kart 8 on the eShop or retail, get a free game
- Thread starter L~A
- Start date
Damn I own all 4 games
Buy the game. Register it. Get the Code. Sell or Trade it to someone else for $30. Get the Wonderful 101.

Yep, at least that's how it's worked for every other digital download code I've gotten from Nintendo so I don't think it would be any different for this promotion.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
Now the wait is killing me even more!!
Pikmin 3 or Wii Party U for the kids, but I think I will be selfish here. How much is Wii Party U on the NA eshop, I thought it was not available digitally?
If you have paypal, use the buy sell trade gaf thread, and find somebody who wants a game, let them pick the game, and i'm sure Nintendo will just email the code to you, and once the person pays you, you then send them the code in a PM

What to get when I already have WW (digital), Pikmin 3 (digital), W101 (digital), NSMBW (disk), NintendoLand (disk).
I'm thinking Wii U Party vs Game & Wario vs upgrading NSMBW or NintendoLand to digital (and selling the physical copy).
Quick question: if I upgrade NSMBW to digital, do I seamlessly keep my save and Luigi DLC?
Man, if only they offered up Lego City

Bought Wii Party U and Pikmin 3 last Boxing Day, still haven't touched Pikmin.
Will get WindWaker I guess. Would have prefered Game & Wario or W101.

I heard similar questions for Nintendo Land and other games before and if I remember correctly you keep your saves.

Ah, i would get Wind Waker even if W101 was in that deal....
I have game and wario, its a game i like a lot. But i can see Wind Waker is worth a lot more than G&W

I don't own any of these. So the question becomes, which one do I get?
I'm a sucker for Mario, but I already own 3D World. My buddy also has the game and is going to let me borrow it. I also played through and beat WW for the first time a few months ago (Gamecube via the Wii). And, Wii Party U isn't my cup of tea bc my wife doesn't play games with me, and at 32 years old my friends aren't gonna come over for a Wii party. Maybe Pikmin 3 then?!

Wow, that's an awesome deal.
I can't decide between Pikmin and WWHD...

I can only talk for myself, but it doesn't even keep the save when you download again. I forgot to bring my HDD, downloaded again to the internal space and had to start again. As soon as I got back home and put the hdd back on, the save was back.
I don't know how it works with disc/download though.

Nice.
I'll definitely take Wind Waker HD

That's incredible! Those are some great games to give away for free too, holy cow. I was already sold on Mario Kart but now I get another game for free!
This, plus the Pokemon giveaway last month - Nintendo's keeping it classy.

Your 32-year-old friends might not come around for Wii Party, but I've had so much fun with my friends in Pikmin's multiplayer (late 20's). Coop or competitive, it's all good.

Pikmin 3 was my personal runner-up for GotY last year, behind Wonderful 101 of course. I never played the first two, so it was pretty overwhelming at first, and still is at points. But the game design is masterclass. And it was the first game to flash a little of the Wii U's secret sauce. And your wife will adore it, and probably be better at it than you, if my experience is to go by. The co-op missions are where you can get your revenge though. And they even have free DLC waiting for you.
Be sure to grab wiimote+ and nunchuks if you haven't already, as it's the superior 'experience.' Nintendo is selling sets for $20, but the store is down for maintenance until the 9th.

A bit disappointed I won't get a full game free with my JPN Wii U but I guess if I rush I could play and finish both Pikmin 3 and Wonderful 101 in a month's time, but I really would've liked to be able to take my time instead.
Oh well, at least it's something they weren't obligated to offer so I can't complain much I guess.

What are the game sizes? This is crucial for peasent 8gb owners
Just need Pikman 3 since I already have nsmbu and WW?
I don't have the file sizes handy but you can go to the eShop now and they'll tell you the size in the game's profile now.

Can we make a petition to ask Nintendo to offer more games instead of the ones offered??? =)))))

My daughter is 4 and she loves Pikmin. She's not great at the main mode, but she loves the time trials (weird right?) since it's basically a sand box for getting and playing with the pikmin.
What I'm saying is, get Pikmin 3.

Thanks for the info guys, I guess it's ok to do it then. Seems like a good possibility, but I'll reassess in a month.
btw I meant NSMBU not NSMBW, of course

Yep. Buy Mario Kart 8, register it on Club Nintendo, get the code, keep it until you get a Wii U.

Yea, I own all of the games in the US selection
NoA really needs to get on the ball and take a queue from NoE. No MK8 Limited Edition (as usual) and only 4 titles to choose from instead of 10. Oh well, since I collect I'd prefer the physical copy so I can always sell the code and pick up one of the titles I haven't picked up yet.

Well shit, I already have all 4 of those games. Offer more options NoA!

Dang. I have most of those except Wario. But it'd feel like a waste to get Wario with this deal.

Nice gesture. I don't want Wii Party or Zelda, and Pikmin 3 was bought day zero. Looks like I'm finally getting NSMBU. I'll just wait a few years until the NSMB formula might feel fresh again and then power up the game.
Man, they're going all out to ensure this is a successful launch. I'm really glad they didn't exclude existing owners by limiting this to bundle/new console purchases.
Pikmin 3 shall be mine!
Dude get Pikmin 3. It's one of the best games of the past few years. Everyone needs to play it!!! You will not be disappointed.
