I hope the Mario Kart Wii U bundle lasts through June. I'm absolutely buying the system now because of this game.

Y'all think it's worth it to buy Wii U console now that Kart was out? Planning to get the bundle.

Yes. With the bundle you get a great value. You get the console, 2 games, a Wii wheel and a mario Wiimote alongside the year of digital promotion.
And with E3 right around the corner you'll be able to see what else is on the horizon, plus there's a good amount of great games on the Eshop.

They way it works is that you register your copy of Mario Kart on the Nintendo club website and you can choose 1 of 4 games. The games are Pikmin 3, Windwaker HD, New Super Mario Bros U, or Wii party U. I think you have until the end of July to take advantage of the offer

Lol@ Luigi. I haven't played much though. Pre-ordering from Best Buy was such a great deal though, $47 with gcu, $10 in MasterCard, free game and $5 e-shop credit for choosing a free game.

MARIO KART 8 SELLS HUGE OVER ITS FIRST WEEKEND
1.2 million sold in 72 hours.
Today, Nintendo revealed that its recently-released Wii U exclusive – the eagerly-anticipated Mario Kart 8 – had a stellar first weekend on the market. The game sold over 1.2 million units across the world, from North America, to Europe, to Japan, making it a bona fide commercial hit. The game launched on May 29th in Japan, May 30th in North America and Europe, and May 31st in Australia.
Interestingly, this marks a continuation of Nintendo and its partners releasing quality software on the Wii U. Mario Kart 8, according to Nintendo, is the 14th Wii U game to launch in the US with an 85 or higher on Metacritic. As for IGN, we absolutely adored Mario Kart 8, giving it a 9.0.
In a statement, Nintendo of America’s President and COO, Reggie Fils-Aime, writes that, "The early response to Mario Kart 8 demonstrates that the best days for Wii U are still ahead. This year’s E3 is just days away, and it will be all about the future games for Nintendo platforms. This milestone is a great place to start!"
Global sales of the Mario Kart franchise – which began on the Super Nintendo in the form of Super Mario Kart in 1992 – have passed the 100 million sold mark as of late March, 2014. Mario Kart Wii remains the best-selling game in the franchise by a mile, selling an astounding 35.53 million units, though Mario Kart DS isn’t far behind at 23.56 million units.

A bundle with the Smash Bros, a GameCube controller+adapter, and a free download for a GameCube classic game (Metroid Prime, Smash Bros Melee, Mario Kart Double Dash, etc) would sell like crazy at $300.
Do it Nintendo!!
