Buying Mario Kart 8?

On 05/25/2014 at 11:31 PM by F1r3inth3H0L3

If you plan on buying Mario Kart 8 and want more Wii U games, Toys R Us is running a deal if you buy Mario Kart 8 you can get 40% off another Wii U title. Here is the ad:

I jumped on it, cause I wanted Wind Waker HD and this helped bring the cost down.

Not to mention Mario Kart 8 comes with a free game download including WW HD, NSMBU, and Pikmin 3, so buying the game is like getting two for the price of one for new Wii U owners.

Does Club Nintendo cost money? I am new to it, so I am not sure.

No, it's absolutely free. Offers plenty of Virtual Console/eshop games too you can get with your coins.

I plan to buy Mario Kart 8 just not at launch. Im thinking middle of June since the free game deal expires July 1st.

Also Amazon currently has a ton of Wii U games below 20$. I was tempted to buy several but im gonna wait.

I would be buying it, if I had a Wii U. It will have to wait.

I am not sure how the "freinds' list" works on Wii U. It is relatively easy?

Nice, that is a pretty nice deal, I'm probably going to get it at Gamestop, since I get a free poster. I would jump on the TRU deal but I'm saving the leftover money for Smash Bros 3DS. But Wind Waker, that's my most favorite Gamecube game, it's an amazing game and you're going to love it if this is your first time playing it, it's a Zelda game I can recommend to people wanting to get into the series. Hope you like it, In fact, I'm gonna start my yearly playthrough of it, it's my 26th playthrough. Hope you have fun!

The art style for Wind Waker looks pretty amazing. That's my main draw to that game. I have never played a single Legend of Zelda game somehow, and I have been gaming since the Atari 2600 days.

I bought mine on pre-order! I can't wait to pick it up! I have to decide between whether I want Pikmin 3 or Wii Party U as I have WWHD and NSMBU...I might just get Pikmin 3.

Can't go wrong with a solid deals on new release games, and thanks for the heads up! Even if some games are not bundled spots like Target usually have a $5 gift card for games that have been pre-ordered from them.
