For the past two months Nintendo has been offering a free Wii U title with any purchase of Mario Kart 8. The promotion has been available here in Australia, New Zealand, Europe and the UK and with less games in North America.
However all good things come to an end and at 23:59 Australian Eastern Standard Time tomorrow on the 31st of July 2014 the promotion will end. After this date you won’t be able to register Mario Kart 8 for a free title but still claim for a free game until the end of August if you’ve registered the game before the end of July. After that, you’re out of luck.
The promotion anecdotally has done wonders for the Wii U with sales up and even just the general ‘vibe’ of all things Wii U much more positive.
So if you’re reading this before the above time, you best race down to your local store and get a copy of Mario Kart 8 if you want a free copy of either Nintendo Land, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Game & Wario, Pikmin 3, The Wonderful 101, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Sonic Lost World, Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, Wii Party U or New Super Mario Bros U.
Having trouble deciding? We wrote a quick roundup of most of the games on offer.
For those who already redeemed, what game did you pick? Did anyone pick up a Wii U just because of this promotion either? Let us know in the comments.
Makes sense to us.
It's Black, Back Again.
If these aren't the coolest graphics...
