Guys relax. I just gave you the internal listing we have for the bundle. As always when I tell you guys stuff this is early info it COULD change.

That said Ive never seen a pre release consoles price change when its at a set dollar. This would be the first I've seen but not impossible.

Also, for those not in the know, BenVTrigger has proven time and time again to be a reliable source when it comes to retail information. He just states things as he sees them, without any agenda behind it.

Don't start on me, I was trying to prevent the thread getting shitted up yet again with a pointless argument this time about Ben's authenticity.

The thread is about mario kart 8 european bundle. The confirmation of said bundle for america is relevant, as well as debating the credibility of a non oficial source of the bundle and price.

Now, I would apreciate if you ceased this hostility against me but feel free to continue if you really want, it's your call.


Nintendo are selling it for 250 in uk not sure of europe bit yeah you can preorder direct from nintendos website so im confused what thus thread is about

Amazon UK has the Mario Kart 8 bundle at £220, that is a great price.

It would still be more expensive than the NA price of $350 after converting it.

$350? Nintendo never learns do they?



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

God, I hope that $350 bundle price is just a placeholder.  I was actually hoping for a price drop for a WiiU/Kart bundle but I was pretty sure that wasn't happening.

But if Nintendo hikes the price up $50?  Well, so much for Kart having any significant impact on HW sales...

the conversion is never like that. if a console costs X euros, it's generally X dolars too. not a direct conversion, just the same number.

Yeah a $50 price drop with Mario Kart bundled for free would have been the best option. $250 to get the system and the game if they want to seriously move some hardware. Even if it's just a temporary price drop like the XBO in March.

doesn't look possible because people could just buy the nsmbu bundle AND mk for $360. perhaps it will be really premium (full of extra stuff) and there will be the regular $299 bundle.
