MarioKart 8 Deluxe wasn’t a pack in…? It had a bundle every holiday that sold quite well — as do almost all major 1st party Nintendo releases (including BotW and TotK) — but certainly not a pack-in especially outside of the holiday season.

I thought MK8 was including the Wii-U version? No? Because if so, it was a pack-in (literally got my copy that way).

Edit: it was a holiday bundle, so yeah... it's still a pack-in, imo. 

If your definition of a pack-in is having received a holiday bundle at any point in a game’s lifecycle, then the label of “pack-in” completely loses all meaning. Diablo III, Fortnite, Mario Tennis Aces, 1-2 Switch, MHRise …all of these games would constitute pack-ins.
