Wii U owners can get a free game if they buy MK8

[Marc]

This is great news and something I honestly didn't expect. Even without the promotion, I was going to pick Mario Kart 8 up on day one. The free game that they're offering is just a bonus.

There’s a deal coming around the bend that will really get your engines revving: if you buy Mario Kart 8 for Wii U and register it with Club Nintendo between May 30, 2014 and July 31, 2014, you can receive a free download code for one of these great Wii U games:

New Super Mario Bros.™ U
Pikmin™ 3
The Legend of Zelda™: The Wind Waker HD
Wii Party™ U
You can purchase Mario Kart 8 as packaged game, digital download, or as part of the Mario Kart 8 Wii U Deluxe Set bundle to qualify for the offer. For more details in the coming weeks, and to learn more about Mario Kart 8, visit http://mariokart8.nintendo.com/.

Offer is available in the U.S. and Canada.

If you live in Europe, don't worry. I think they're doing the same promotion, but with more Wii U games to choose from. Sucks for us North America Wii U owners, but games are more expensive in Europe, so yeah..

I think I'll get that Pikmin 3 game (I heard good reviews about it but I have no idea what it's about). I already own Zelda and the Super Mario Bros. game isn't "all that" from what I've heard.
