Soundwave on 31 May 2014
Just picked up the game from my local Best Buy today. They had a Nintendo rep there and they were giving away some Mario Kart swag for people trying out the demo, like MK8 themed flags.
Unfortunately it didn't look like any of the MK8 Wii U bundles had sold.
The 14 year old-ish kids in front of me played the MK8 demo but left with a PS4 (well their dad was paying for it anyway). Not to make too big of assumption there, as I'm assuming they were planning to get a PS4 no matter what.
Also Nintendo should probably market the Nintendo Club free game promotion ... there was no promotional items at my store whatsoever to let someone know that such a promotion is happening.
