I'm still not sure whether I should pick WW, W101 or Pikmin 3 as my free game. I'll probably go with WW since the other 2 have a higher change to drop in price faster. And you can't go wrong with Zelda I guess.
If you didn't play the Gamecube version then WW is a must.

All are great, but IMO TW101 is something particularly special.
Have you played WW on Gamecube? If you have then get on of the other two, if not get WW HD.
I say Pikmin 3 just to throw a wrench at the previous suggestions
also it's an amazing game

No I haven't played WW yet. It's the only console Zelda I haven't played. I know someone that owns the gamecube version but I rather play the HD version. I'll probably pick up W101 and Pikmin too later, but it's hard when you have too choose between 3 great games 
Keep everything positive for me, so I can ride the hype wave all the way home!

Pikmin 3 is probably the best choice if you've already played WW before.
W101 already has a much lower MSRP than the others, so WW or Pikmin 3 would be your best choices if you're going for "value."

The music is outstanding. Best soundtrack of the year.
If they have the option of W101 and Pikmin 3, they'll be in the EU, and looking on Amazon UK there's only a £3 difference.
However, you can find The Wonderful 101 cheaper than that if you're willing to look, so the point still stands.
Oh, whoops. Forgot the NA selection was that bad.
IIRC these codes only get activated when the game is released, but I could be wrong. You should certainly give it a try anyway.
You can enter it, but it will tell you that you cannot download the game as it hasn't been released
10 points to you, that's what happened
EDIT - It would be great if it accepted the code and then automatically started downloading it in standby the moment it becomes available.

I am very excited for MK8 this week. Funny thing is that I have never owned a MK game, even though I had owned every single Nintendo console. I played Double Dash on my brother's GameCube, and it was pretty fun. I am excited for what fun levels MK will provide for me, as I am loving racer titles right now especially NFS: Rivals. I was tempted to get NFS: Most Wanted for Wii U just to play a racer on Wii U, but thought just wait for MK8..
And then we get Project Cars later this year (hopefully) on Wii U!

Yeah that wood have been amazing! Oh well. I got a code from GAME as well, so at least we can start downloading at midnight Friday! HYPE!10 points to you, that's what happened

Project Cars is confirmed for Wii U and about Most Wanted... you dodged a bullet there tbqh.

Good about dodging that bullet
I did read some rumors earlier today on GAF that Project Cars might be delayed till next year based on the lack of info coming out about it. That's why I added the hopefully
I did the same thing. Feelin' pretty good about that now.
It's hard for me to stay away from the streams, especially the ones showing off online. I hope online is always as smooth as it looks connection wise. Also looks like two players can sign in on different accounts for online split screen? Yessssss.
Was there something wrong with the WIi U version of Most Wanted?
Oh shieeeeeet

Well, damn. Just checked two Sears... Searses?... in the Los Angeles area and neither of them had it.
Oh well. I've got two indie game stores that should be getting it in tomorrow, hopefully!

Interesting; a retailer is offering a 100 euro discount on the WiiU + MK8 bundle, for a Wii + MKWii trade in.
Very tempting, but I'm going to miss my homebrew machine.

Amazon itself does not sell Nintendo hardware. I am sure you will see other sellers place them up on Amazon soon though.

Guessing World 8 and Next-Gen Games? Getting mine from World 8.
Thank you for the response!

I dunno man. The music is outstanding and I'm blown away by it (listening on YouTube), but wasn't Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze also out this year? That soundtrack is just incredible and it'd be tough to beat for sure.
My copy should be despatched tomorrow ready for delivery on Thursday (providing it fits through the letter box.) Hype has reached critical mass.
Man, I want to play it so bad, but I don't want to drive out that far (South Bay). Plus with the time I get out of work these days I wouldn't make closing time. ;_;

World 8 and GamePlay actually, but I always go with World 8 if I can because they're literally five minutes away from my apartment. I've had issues with Next-Gen in the past.
When did World 8 tell you they'd be getting it?

I went to World 8 and they only have enough for people who preordered. Next-Gen Games says they'll post on their Facebook page as soon as they get it, which they expect to be today or tomorrow. So, I've just been reloading Next-Gen's page over and over.
I guess I'm desperate.

I'll let you know if I catch wind of anything. I have a friend who works at EB, so I told him to notify me if someone breaks street date.

Background downloading is supported. If you start a download and shut the system down, it will turn on low power sleep mode and continue the download until finished.
oh cool. Good to know! Thanks dude.

Downloading will continue even in sleep mode iirc anyway (the amber light). Wii U downloading speed are often slow though, so you can probably sleep, unless you have a "good one"
