Nintendo : buy Mario Kart 8 on the eShop or retail, get a free game

Wow. This works for retail? I'm definitely in on day one. Finally a free game offer I can partake in.

I guess I'll get Game & Wario as Pikmin 3 doesn't interest me. As long as it's the same list for NA.
 
Given that a lot of Wii U owners are likely to already have NSMB U and Wind Waker, I hope this results in a whole lot of people finally trying Pikmin 3. AKA Nintendo's secret best game.
 
You make a Club Nintendo account in a country with one. If you game does not come with a slip it won't work. If you import the game from a country with Club Nintendo it will come with a slip (if it does not contact that countries customer support with proof of purchase). In the case of digital versions you have to link the Club Nintendo account to an NNID. That NNID then owns the game (but all NNID on the system can play it).
I've made a secondary UK Club Nintendo account/NNID on my Wii U with a fake address and have some points redeemed there. Obviously can't use the points to get the physical items, but this is an offer I guess I could use, even if Scandinavia is officially excluded from the offer. Hope so.
 
I'm really bummed at the lack of free game options for NA. Why the difference? I already have 3 of those games, and I don't give a shit about the party game...
 
I have a games backlog on my (day 1) Wii U, which means I have not got around to buying Pikmin or Wind Waker yet, so this offer is like manna from heaven for me.
 
Really weak list for NA. already own the three good titles on that list-I'll be damned if if I'm stuck with WiiU party as a freebie

will continue to wait for better deal on the game
 
I don't understand, what does "could claim" actually mean? If I but MK8, will I be able to 100% get of those choices?

There is probably a time frame involved, and obviously you can chose not to register. So you wouldn't be claiming your free game.
 
Good deal. I struggled justifying buying Wind Waker HD considering I already own the original but getting it for free for buying a game I was already 100% on certainly eliminates any indecision. :lol
 
Wii Party or Sonic for me. I have all the others. Quite fancy Sonic, but it can be found pretty cheaply. What's Wii Party like?
 
Really awesome of Nintendo to do this...
Don't really know what I want though... I own WWHD, NSMBU, TW101, Pikmin 3, Nintendo land and I did have MH3U, but sold it.. Maybe I'll get that again I guess..
Can anyone reccommend anything else on that list?
 
So wait, we are actually getting some of this in NA? That surprises me, but I'm glad. Wish we had more of a selection, but I've been keen on getting Pikmin 3 to try out the franchise.
 
This is the kind of promotion that moves units. I'm extremely impressed. Preordered.

What's the consensus of the best of the bunch (EU)? I own TW101 and I hate platformers. I think Sonic is the franchise I like the best, but I dunno if I'll like lost world, even free (the demo is shit) any ideas?
 
I feel like an ass complaining about a free game that I never expected to get, but damn the only choice for me is Wii Party U. Gahhhh...
 
Never played Wind Waker but I really wanted Pikmin 3 and never ended up getting it. What a great deal, and what a luxury problem.. lol.


Great deal.
 
Best Buy has a promotion for a $10 gas card when you preorder. That doesn't really interest me since I don't have a car. Any other promotions out there?
