Walmart Offering Hot Deals on Mario Kart 8 and Super Mario 3D World Hardware Bundles

Will there ever be a game and system I don't have bundled?? Otherwise I'd get these.

Still has low hardware space though

...any idea how long does these deal lasts?

@Spectra_Twilight I used to be just like you, but when you have friends over, it's an instant hit. Multiplayer wii u games on a nice 1080p TV was impressive enough for me to make the purchase. And I haven't owned a home console since the GameCube.

@Mega719
Not that much of a problem if you get AAA high GB games physically. Most Virtual Console games and eShop games don't take up that much space.

@Spectra_Twilight i highly doubt the 3ds will run out of good games for atleast 3-4 more years especially with the upgraded version coming with big games besides alot of games are good without multiplayer or have online play.

Know what my niece is getting for Christmas

@Spectra_Twilight
Who said you can't have online friends?

This is a fantastic deal.

The thing is, some people are content playing whatever they already own. Me, I'm the type of person that is never content when I see a game I want to play and can't play it. For example, nothing in the world was going to come between me and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. I already owned the system but I would've happily bought one that very moment just to play that one game. It's why I bought an Xbox One when I already own a PS4- that Halo Master Chief was what I wanted to play, and if I had to buy a console to play it then so be it.

So for those who don't really care if they miss games, as long as they have something else to play- well they're never going to be interested. Because they are not basing their decision on games they want to play and can't. For everyone else, ya, as long as word gets out about this deal I think it could have a major impact. I'll be informing my coworker tomorrow since he's interested in a Wii U...

@JaxonH I just informed my friend of this deal, since she's looking for a Wii U for Christmas. This deal will net her at least another controller.

@Sir_JBizzle This is every bit as good as the Best Buy deal for $360. This is $90 cheaper but you can take that $90 and buy Smash and DKC, and probably end up right at $360. Or like you said use that money for a pro controller. Personally, a pro controller is a must-have. As is a Wiimote with rapid charging battery and gamepad with extended battery. It's the only way to play.

192 pounds for these wii u bundles plus a gift card worth 32 makes it a bargain if you live in the US, meanwhile we in the UK are expected to pay £249, what a joke!!!!

I'll just leave this here... 8gb Party bundle with Mario 3D World and Mario Kart 8 for £199.99

@JaxonH I've had a Wii U for a year now, and I've never even considered getting a Pro Controller. The Gamepad is good enough in my opinion, and when I used a Pro Controller at Smashfest, I honestly didn't really like it.

Online is out of stock. My local store is out of stock. Get in more WiiU's Wal-Mart !

@VIIIAxel To each their own I suppose, although the pro controller is basically just a gamepad without a screen

@JaxonH : Agree. 3 pro-controllers here and 2 Hori Fight Pads..We had the gamepad, 3 pro-controllers and 1 fight pad going at the same time during a family holiday visit this week. Really fun times.

I got my wii u deluxe at best buy black friday in july for 259.99 (super mario bros/luigi bundle). I can't believe no one is offering that deal right now.

@scottp999 - Yeah, seems like Wii U, SM3DW (a 1 year old game) and Nintendo Land (a 2 year old game) is the default bundle, and $300 for that doesnt strike me as a deal, even w/ a $50 GC its still $300 out of pocket for a Wii U and a couple of old games. Last Christmas I would have said that wad a good bundle, but 1 year later its just meh.

I think the Wii U is a good console and thats a decent everyday price w/ the $50 GC but I'm not impressed.

My nephew is getting 1 for Hanukah b/c their Wii stopped reading discs but I wont even bother emailing them this deal. Funny thing, they wanted me to get him NL but its likely to be in any bundle he gets. I'll probably get him Captain Toad.

@JaxonH
With the $50 GC, you can use that on Smash, buy DKTP on else where for around $40 if the prospective buyer even would want it. You'd still come out ahead compared to the BB bundle which is quite lame (again only DKC is free). Hell Amazon had the XOne with 4 games for $320 lightning deal.

Don't forget the FREE DOWNLOAD you get from Club Nintendo for registering Mario Kart 8. This is like getting 3 free games and a next gen Nintendo system for $250 considering the Gift card! Praise GOD! Merry Christmas!

If only I could convince my parents to let me spend some of my saved money :/

@3DSFlo I think that promotion has ended by now.

@3DSFlo
That boat sailed a long time ago.

I got my deluxe Wii U for $250 and it included NSMBU and Luigi U. I'm surprised the deals are at 300 now.

Not a bad deal for bundles that include marquee games like SM3DW and MK8. The MK8 bundle is particularly attractive to someone who is looking to jump to a Wii U because of Smash.

@Spectra_Twilight well you could always every now and then get a wii u game if its cheap enoff so you can have it for when u do get a wii u and you can think of it as a future planning to save a bit of money later on since some games might go up because of rarity.

@shigulicious Don't trust the mobile website. Call in to every store close to you and find out. There were 3 Wii U's at a Walmart 15 miles from me when online they stated that they only had 1 left. Don't dispair, call in every day and use the desktop website AND the app to curate and surmise where you can find one close to you.

@3DSFlo How do you get the free download from club Nintendo? How do I register it?
I
I know that Nintendo land (Walmart bundle disc vI er. with MK8) had a PIN#.... Am I missing something?
