Out of them, I already have
Zelda windwaker
Pikmin 3
Nintendoland
Wonderful 101
New super marios bros
I've no interest in Monster Hunter or the minigame games, which leaves Sonic.
My fault for getting all the others.
They really need to mention this in their E3 event, since be great publicity and since have to the end of July to register. So anyone buying the Mario Kart bundle gets 2 great games for the price of one0 -

Might be worth checking the trade in price for Mario Kart in the days after its release, if the game costs €50 and you get €35 back for it might be worth paying the €15 just for the code to reg and get a free game, just thinking outside the box here.

The problem with the free game for me is I will still want the physical disc. If it'd had been 3rd party ported games like lets say Deus Ex I'd not have cared about getting the hard copy, I'd have been happy to play the game and forget about it but for exclusive to the Wii U stuff I'll want the hard copy at some point. It'll be a while before I get a chance to play the downloaded game what with purchasing Mario Kart and the backlog of games I already have.
For a console with seemingly no games I'm building up a nice little collection.
.. It'll be Windwaker for me btw.
then in a years or so's time when the price for the physical game eventually goes down a tad I'll pick it up just to have. It'll end up as a sealed copy sitting collecting dust. :rolleyes:
I've reigned in the collector in me somewhat. I dont buy games now I wouldnt like to play at some point. I used to buy games essentially for the sake of putting it on a shelf and "owning/having". What use it to me! God I did that with so many 360 and ps2 games over the years. It all adds up, a tenner here a fiver there. I'm beyond help when it comes to exclusives though!

To spell it out before RB blows a gasket
There will be people - not many, but the odd one - who have a Wii U and don't want MarioKart 8. Or can't afford it yet but can afford €15-20 for Wind Waker or W101. These people may be inclined to buy your mariokart stars code to redeem for the free game.
There will be other households that have multiple Nintendo accounts - for example 3 kids with DSes - and a WiiU under the telly. Each account can register MarioKart 8 seperately for a unique redemption code.
Generally, the way the Ninty online system works, it'll be one free game code issued per account against which Mariokart 8 is registered and you can only register the game once. However the redemption code is likely to be redeemable on any WiiU, so that there's nothing to stop you registering Mariokart 10 times on 10 different accounts and then redeeming the 10 different games against 1 WiiU. The codes you get from free game promos are the same format and general series as the ones you get from Game or the Ninty online store. I don't think they can tell where it came from to prevent you multi-redeeming. Also, they can't tell how much the game cost you, so you get credited points based on the current eShop price. (I'd expect they'd resolve that before MK8 goes live, but they never cease to amaze me in how unprepared they can be for online events)
Of course, no one knows for sure till they try it... Hey, why not give me your MarioKart stars code and I'll come back to you with a definitive result by the 3rd of June?0 -
