On October 30th Nintendo is releasing a new "Premium" bundle to Europe including digital copies of Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon.  

http://www.bidnessetc.com/54472-nintendo-unveils-new-mario-kart-8-and-splatoon-wii-u-bundle-for-europe/

Mario Kart 8 will come pre-installed on the 32GB console and will come with a code to download Splatoon from the eShop.  

I have a feeling this may push a few people in Europe over the edge to finally pick up this console.  Are you getting one?

So £240 for the 32GB-WiiU + a 17 months old game (digital, bound to the hardware) + a 5 months old game (digital code, account-bound)... not that impressive.

I paid £178 for the 32GB-WiiU + Nintendoland (retail version) 20 months ago and bought Mario Kart 8 (retail version) for ~£30 when it was brand new. The MK8-promotion got me Wind Waker HD (digital) for free... and by entering that WindWaker-code I got enough credits ("Wii U deluxe digital promotion") to order the MK8-DLCs for free.

So £208 for the 32GB-WiiU + Nintendoland (retail) + MK8 (retail) + Wind Waker HD (digital) + MK8 DLC Packs 1+2 (digital).
