I have everything in the US except for Wii Party U. If I were in Europe I'd be torn between Sonic and Monster Hunter.

 

[corn_fest]

Sweet. After this + Pikmin 3 I'll basically have collected every worthwhile Wii U game.
Plus, that should come out to $10 in free eShop credit, unless they make the free games ineligible for DDP.

 

[Platy]

Only 4 ?

Well... I only have NSMBU now so yay free pikmin ! .... or wind waker ?

Not like I wasn't going to buy it day one anyway.

Edit: Fuck. The only game in that list I don't have is Sochi, haha.

For us it is only 4 games ... and they don't include sochi

Spoiler

(eu aceito um dos seus jogos se vc não quiser xD)

 

[upandaway]

This is really cool. I'm kinda torn because I already have MH3U and I wouldn't have gotten any of the others normally.

I have no clue. Hmmm.

 

[Fandangox]

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?

I think around 5-6gb don't remember. Give or take, can't check right now.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

No excuse for anyone now.

 

[zroid]

uh, wow

edit: damn NA's selection is so limited. I'll take the free copy of Wii Party U though, seems like a fun party game.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Damn it. I already own all of them besides Wii Party for NA.

 

[Davey Cakes]

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?

Wii Party U is a fantastic party game. May be better than both Mario Party 9 and the original Wii Party, at the very least.

If you have people to play with who enjoy that sort of thing, go for it. Otherwise it's a tougher recommendation.

 

[Lunar15]

Nice! Gonna grab Pikmin 3.

So glad TW101 is part of this!

 

[Boss Doggie]

I don't have a Wii U yet but Smash will make me get one.

Now the question is should I buy this game for the free game promo?

 

[irishcow]

Fuck yes I have been waiting to buy Pikmin 3 at a discount! This is a no brainer.

 

[Skiesofwonder]

Lots of people are going to find out how awesome Wii Party U is with this deal.

 

[Sendou]

Cool! Let me recommend Nintendo Land, NSMBU, Wind Waker HD and Wonderful 101 very highly. All are very good products.

I'm probably getting Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. Hear a lot of good things about it. Shame Lego City Undercover isn't here but I think I will have to go with this GAF-acclaimed RPG lol.

Now the question is should I buy this game for the free game promo?

Sure why not?

 

[Ricky 7]

I was just about to buy W101 but now I get it for free. =O

 

[Kiru]

So how would the promotion work if you didn't buy a Wii U yet and maybe will after that promotion period, but you register the game within time on club nintendo ? Like how do you get the free eShop game ?

 

[Tripon]

Pikmin or Wind Waker for me. Probably Pikmin.

 

[gabe90]

Lots of people are going to find out how awesome Wii Party U is with this deal.

Yeah, cause in the US it's the only game being offered that most Wii U owners don't have already. Like me...good to hear positive impressions.

 

[Tokieda]

I don't have a Wii U yet but Smash will make me get one.

Now the question is should I buy this game for the free game promo?

It says in the info bit that the download code expires in the end of September, so if you're going to buy the system at the time of Smash's release, you're not going to be able to use it...

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

Damnit, NOA. What the hell is their deal?

Lots of people are going to find out how awesome Wii Party U is with this deal.

Hope you are right.

 

[Natureboy99]

Smart move by nintendo. They got a bundle too. I think this news will move a few more WiiUs.

 

[Herb Alpert]

No excuse for anyone now.

there will always be the excuse of "the bundle should be 99$ and then I would be willing to perhaps begin to think about the possibility to maybe grab it if I find a better deal".

 

[Aaron D.]

That's a really nice gesture from Nintendo.

 

[Sendou]

Yeah, cause in the US it's the only game being offered that most Wii U owners don't have already. Like me...good to hear positive impressions.

Seeing how Pikmin 3 sold I'm pretty sure there are a great many people that are still yet to experience that gem too.

 

[Albo]

So how would the promotion work if you didn't buy a Wii U yet and maybe will after that promotion period, but you register the game within time on club nintendo ? Like how do you get the free eShop game ?

They'll email you the code, but it expires September 30th 2014, so you need to get your wii u to redeem it before then

 

[Skiesofwonder]

Yeah, cause in the US it's the only game being offered that most Wii U owners don't have already. Like me...good to hear positive impressions.

As long as you have people to play with locally it's one of the best mario parties in a long while (IMO). The gamepad tabletop games also provide some great two-payer action.

 

[PAULINK]

Whoa great deal.

Pikmin or Wind Waker....

Pikmin if you've never played any of the games in the series.

 

[Kiru]

They'll email you the code, but it expires September 30th 2014, so you need to get your wii u to redeem it before then

Oh crap. Gotta think about it then. Thank you!

 

[jonno394]

Anyone in the UK want to get in on the Wii U, The MK8 bundle can be had for £199 from Tesco using code TDX-JGCV

http://www.tesco.com/direct/mario-kart-wii-u-console-bundle/117-7839.prd?pageLevel=&skuId=117-7839

So you're basically gonna get a brand new Wii U, Mario Kart 8 and another game for under £200. BARGAIN!

 

[Calamari41]

This is a nice gesture, but maybe they should throw those of us who have already given them money for that entire lineup of games some kind of bone as well.

 

[Seik]

I have all of these except Wii Party U, so that'll be it, I guess.

 

[Majukun]

So how would the promotion work if you didn't buy a Wii U yet and maybe will after that promotion period, but you register the game within time on club nintendo ? Like how do you get the free eShop game ?

looking at the other nintendo promotion like this,it should work just fine..i got a free super mario 3d land because i had yet to register my 3ds that i bought months and months earlier

 

[Hugstable]

If I just go with Pikmin 3 as the free game, I wonder if I'll be able to trade the code or sell it someone or if it needs to be on the same Club Nintendo/Eshop account. Could try to sell Pikmin 3 code for 25$ to 30$ worth of credit on eshop and get myself Zombiu, Game and Wario, or Ninja Gaiden 3 RE lol.

 

[Sendou]

This is a nice gesture, but maybe they should throw those of us who have already given them money for that entire lineup of games some kind of bone as well.

The bone is selling your code.

 

[XenodudeX]

Why does EU get to choose from 8 while NA only gets 4? Such bullshit.

 

[jonno394]

Why does EU get to choose from 8 while NA only gets 4? Such bullshit.

Europe PS+ vs US PS+ offerings show that us Europeans seem to get it good in comparison.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Why does EU get to choose from 8 while NA only gets 4? Such bullshit.

Because Nintendo sucks more in Europe.

 

[Sakujou]

Holy shit, what an offer. Totally will be over the place for game and wario. I already own the rest.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

This is a nice gesture, but maybe they should throw those of us who have already given them money for that entire lineup of games some kind of bone as well.

The "bone" is expanding the userbase and maybe getting more games for the system.

Or you could sell your code.

 

[eighty(one)]

Pretty cool!

I traded on NSMB U a while back and have been wanting to rebuy it.

Awesome promotion, since I'll be getting it free ^_^

 

[Boss Doggie]

It says in the info bit that the download code expires in the end of September, so if you're going to buy the system at the time of Smash's release, you're not going to be able to use it...

... lame

 

[Tagg9]

Why does EU get to choose from 8 while NA only gets 4? Such bullshit.

Indeed. I already own all the game offered, but there's a few in the EU selection I'd like...

 

[oti]

Nice, gonna get MH3U again (bought it at launch but failed miserably and sold it).

 

[Robert at Zeboyd Games]

Well, Nintendo you've got me. Mario Kart 8 & Pikmin were both filed under my "Pick up when you see a good sale" category and effectively paying $30 for each qualifies.

 

[Business]

Now that is a deal Nintendo. Getting WW HD or W101 with this.

 

[mrklaw]

its a great offer to tempt in new owners, but those of us crazy people with launch WiiUs probably have most of the games they want from that list.

I could use it as an opportunity to convert one of my retail games to digital, and then trade in the retail game though - but I went digital for pikmin and Zelda

 

[Servbot24]

Good offer. Thankfully it lasts after E3 so I can't wait to see if I'm inspired to get a Wii U.

 

[Calamari41]

That's not a bad idea. I'll probably just use this to convert Wii Party U to digital rather than dealing with paypal or trusting some internet stranger to mail me a check.

 

[Luigi87]

Well, since I'm in NA, definitely in for Pikmin 3.

 

[Platy]

I am starting to feel that there will be a giveaway thread with MK launch xD
