Just so I understand this right, in the UK you can get a Wii U including 2 games for 240 pounds, in the US you get the same thing for $300 and now you release a MK8 bundle, throw in a Wii Remote Plus and a bunch of random stuff and sell it for 300 pounds or $350 depending on the region?

Nintendo you never seize to amaze me these days.

In uk the two game bundle is 280 and the mk8 bundle is£250 actually

The standard MK bundle is also 240 pounds with the (physical) game and the 32GB console...in addition to that they are releasing a premium bundle for 300 pounds with the game, the console and a bunch of extras...

Also, where is everybody getting the 350$ figure from? The MK8 bundle hasn't even been announced for NA yet and you guys are already complaining about the price? Did I miss something? If so, I would appreciate a link.

I'd like to see this source too but there isn't one.

Unless you are from nintendo, at most you can speak for your own store. I'd rather wait for something with a minimum of credibility.

I clicked the annotation on the video which took me here:

http://store.nintendo.co.uk/offers/mario-kart-8-wii-u.list?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=bundlevideo&utm_campaign=mariokart8

There I clicked on "more info" on one of the 2 bundles. That's why I thought the bundles were all £300, so that's my bad, the cheapest is £250.

Still I just checked Amazon and Game and they both have the Wii U bundle with NSMBU and Luigi U for £240, so that MK bundle price is still far from great.
