Already have MH3, Pikmin and Wonderful 101, might go for Wind Waker.

It's a classic.

 

[Danthrax]

Lost World isn't that bad :/

It's really not.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Looks like I'll be getting Wii Party U since I own the other three digitally already. I was hoping NA would get Sonic for free too, but I'm grateful for the free game

 

[batbeg]

No one locally wants to play Wii U with me...

Of course they don't. You don't own Wii Party U.

 

[DeaviL]

Nintendo doing everything they can to get people to buy a Wii U

I like

 

[Maximus.]

Pikmin 3 will be mine!

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

What's the timeframe to do this in? Indefinite? Would love a Wii U bundle but won't have the cash for a while.

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

Excellent promo from Nintendo. I was going to take a "wait for used" approach to MK8 since I like it but not THAT much but this promo is enough to push me into buying new. I've wanted to pick up WWHD and this is the kind of price I've been waiting for.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Are all the NA games digital?

For Europe I think it is end of June.

See that post.

Awesome, thanks. I just preordered. Did the 5% cashback though shopdiscover as well. At least that'll cover most of the tax :/

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

The "free games" are eShop codes, yes.

 

[bequietdrive]

Too bad the account system is still terrible. Otherwise this would be a great deal.

You get the free game with your retail purchase. Still a good offer.

 

[Ban Puncher]

Of course they don't. You don't own Wii Party U.

 

[KDC720]

This is a fantastic deal. Mario Kart 8+ Pikmin 3 for the price of one, count me in.

Nintendo really knows how to pull out the big guns when they're up against the ropes that's for sure.

 

[gogogow]

Not that I know of.
Aren't the download codes country specific too?

I thought that's how people could buy stuff from the eShop from another country?

I'm not sure why it would matter that download codes are country specific. As it is now, there's no Club Nintendo in Scandinavian countries. So it if is possible to make a Club Nintendo account like you were based in let's say the UK than Nintendo would think you live in the UK and send you a code after you registered MK8 on that UK Club Nintendo account.

Don't you just make a account on the UK Club Nintendo website?
Wouldn't hurt for you to try.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

This is awesome. Sonic here I come.

 

[jerryvaberry]

Wow. 3 of the 4 NA games are actually really interesting/good. Thankfully I have not yet pulled the trigger on NSMBU.

 

[prag16]

I will be downloading Pikmin 3 and selling my physical copy. Thank you Nintendo.

This is probably what I'll do. I'll download Pikmin3 or NSMBU and sell the disc for whichever one will net more cash.

 

[Logash]

Wait so I can get the refurbished Wii U from Nintendo for 200 and Mario Kart for 60 and I will get Wind Waker for free?

 

[sonto340]

I'm in the states.
Now I have to decide if I want NSMBU digital (I own it physical) or Wii Party U

Is Wii Party U any good?

 

[BundysFeet]

OK. I have to give it to Nintendo. This is FANTASTIC. BRAVO. It was already a day one but damn.

 

[Kriken]

I was kinda hoping for a bigger selection for NA, as I own all of the games physically. Although my copy of WW HD is still sealed so I could probably get the digital version and keep it sealed. Eh, c'est la vie

 

[Tamanator]

This has me very tempted to pick this up at launch (Was thinking about holding off on it). Although my Wii U's hard drive is currently full, can anyone recommend a cheap external hard drive to add more space?

 

[Vyse The Legend]

Hmm. Should I get Wind Waker, a game I've been meaning to get, or Pikmin 3, a game I would never buy but for free I am interested.

 

[10k]

I'd play lost world if it was free. But I don't like splitting my digital and retail collections.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Wait so I can get the refurbished Wii U from Nintendo for 200 and Mario Kart for 60 and I will get Wind Waker for free?

Yes

 

[Plinko]

Well, that's a surprise.

I already own all of the free NA games, but I'll sell my physical copy.

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

Wait so I can get the refurbished Wii U from Nintendo for 200 and Mario Kart for 60 and I will get Wind Waker for free?

Yes, this is very close to what I'm doing. Get a few refurb Wiimote/nunchucks with your WiiU order, they're $20 a piece.

This has me very tempted to pick this up at launch (Was thinking about holding off on it). Although my Wii U's hard drive is currently full, can anyone recommend a cheap external hard drive to add more space?

Go to your nearest electronics/general purchase store and get whatever's on sale. Or Newegg. Not much to differentiate them these days.

 

[PAULINK]

Dat feel when you already own all 3 games.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Oh is that kitome? Oh Kitome.. Dont cry baby. Kyou was only here yesterday..

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Great offer, but I have every good game there (plus sonic)

Not even sure it's worth downloading wii party or monhun

 

[ShroudOfFate]

This is awesome. I'll finally get Pikmin 3!

 

[Sp3eD]

Damn, I have all the NA games already. Looks like somebody is going to get a free game.

For those on the fence, Wii Party U with friends has been one of the most played wii u games at my house. Lots of really cool ideas thrown around in it.

 

[diaspora]

Sold.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Zelda.
Zelda.
Zelda.

 

[Jafku]

Gettin MK8 and WWHD? Im in.

 

[Albo]

For Europe I think it is end of June.

[lt519]

Awesome, I love Club Nintendo so many free retail and classic games over the last few years just from buying games like normal.

So many choices, I'm thinking Pikmin 3 or Wonderful 101 (didn't really like the demo).

 

[Hugstable]

Dat feel when you already own all 3 games.

At least you didn't just buy Pikmin 3 less than 3 days ago... DEM FEEELS MANNN!

Just called Nintendo to just to see if I had any chance to return it for eshop credit back and nope . No harm in trying though, hopefully Wii Party U is fun since I already got 2 wiimotes at my place. Wish US would have atleast Sonic Lost World or Nintendo Land from the EU choices haha.

 

[terrisus]

I had been meaning to get Pikmin 3, loved the first two, but hadn't gotten around to it yet.

Free? Awesome.

 

[Zeyphersan]

I can't believe the Nintendo Online Store is down until May 9th.

$20 says when it comes back refurbished Wii U's are no longer $200

 

[Kriken]

This has me very tempted to pick this up at launch (Was thinking about holding off on it). Although my Wii U's hard drive is currently full, can anyone recommend a cheap external hard drive to add more space?

Literally any external HDD under 2 TB should work, I got this one for less than $40, but I also had to get a Y-cable to power it.

My advice would be look around and find a cheap price b/c unless you're a digital only (Don't know why with Nintendo's account policy) you won't need anything too big

 

[Van Owen]

Hmm, not digging NA's lineup. Would have liked to try 101.

 

[Zarovitch]

Hmm, not digging NA's lineup. Would have liked to try 101.

There's a demo.

 

[Majukun]

so,now the mario kart bundle gives two games instead of one?

 

[jacobeid]

I also just realized that by registering Mario Kart 8 with Club Nintendo, I'll have just enough points this year to go platinum. Sweet.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

This might make me get a Wii U. What are the system bundles?

 

[Coolwhip]

Whoa great deal.

Pikmin or Wind Waker....

 

[Jucksalbe]

That's a pretty nice and unexpected deal. I just bought Zelda a few days ago, so I'm gonna go with Monster Hunter. What's the download size for that?
