We all love retailer-exclusive editions, right? Ok, maybe not, but if you live in the US and happen to shop at Best Buy they do have a neat extra to go along with new copies of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
Anyone that picks the game up for the festive period will get a free SteelBook case.
You can get it from the US online store right here for the usual price of $59.99USD; unfortunately the same promotion isn't running on the Canadian equivalent of the retailer's website.
So, are any of you tempted, or did you all get the game back in April like so many others?

To be honest it looks pretty ugly.
Too bland for my taste
Looks great, sadly not for uk
Damn it hurts to see that awesome steelbook that i most likely won't get to have.
Unfortunately i already have MK8 deluxe (came with my switch bundle) mabey i can pick it up second hand someday (doubt it) you can never have enough copys of mario kart tho right? Lol.
The timing of this is very strange. It's almost like Nintendo forgot and just remembered that they had a warehouse full of these that were meant to be part of a MK8D Collector's Edition at launch.
I don't understand why there's a steel book now and not when it was released.
I’m going to go out on the limb to possibly look like an idiot, haha. But what is a steel book?
@SLIGEACH_EIRE
Holiday season perhaps?
@OnBeingHuman Its a steel case in which you can put the game case. Its like a cover for your cover.
I really don't see the point of getting steelbooks for Switch games. I always just put them in my travel case, I don't even use the original boxes since they take up too much room.
@OnBeingHuman Steelbooks are just fancy cases. I feel like they used to be a lot more popular last gen when everyone was still collecting huge physical disc collections, I know that's when I used to care about them.
meh... rather they keep that ugly thing and give a discount on the game.
At this point better to just get it used for $45 at Amazon.
Dang, I clicked too fast and thought it was for Odyssey. Its very cool, but its a bit too down the line to warrant another purchase at full price.
I love steelbooks!! I still have the original killzone steelbook and just got the new cod steelbook.. shame it's just for the US though
8 months too late. I am not rebuying the same game on the same system just for the steelbook. Though I would have had it been an option on release.
The Steel book is top notch superb quality in person. It is incredible with the embossing and high gloss .. Anyone missing out on the steel book doesn’t know what they’re missing, it’s truly Super!
Also, people trying to say that steel books are last GEN and not that popular don’t know what they’re talking about. They are just salty because they were not able to get the steel book, but the fact is people still love steel books and this one was a Grand slam out of the ballpark... Simply incredible ! Thanks Best Buy, keep those steel books coming!
