You buy a bundle with Mario Kart 8, you can choose a free game. New Super Mario Wii U and Zelda WW U are in this promotion. Then buy a Bundle with New Super Mario or Zelda is half useless, if you can have a free game with the purchase of Mario Kart 8 (promotion valid until July 31).

Mario Kart 8 Bundle: Price = $330, Value = $470 (assuming console is $300, and you take the free game deal)

NSMB Bundle: Price = $300, Value = $380 (assuming console is $300)

The German bundle is different. It's without remote and wheel for 299 Euros.

I'd get the Mario + Luigi bundle (it's around 20 Euros cheaper than the MK8 bundle) and buy MK8 separately. Or the Wind Waker bundle if you like the GamePad's design.

274,95 with free shipping if you order at night between 0.00 and 6.00 http://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/Nintendo-WII-U-PREMIUM-PACK-Mario-amp-Luigi-schwarz_942009.html

Or the ZombiU-Pack if you want a Pro-Controller (289): http://www.buecher.de/shop/computer-konsolen-und-zubehoer/nintendo-wii-u-zombiu-premium-pack-limited-edition/wii-u/products_products/detail/prod_id/36650128/

But ZombiU isn't worth much, usually less than 10 Euros (UK version, the German version is a little more expensive).

I'd think Mario Kart 8 + Another game should still be of more value than NSMBU+NSLU, but yeah I don't know what the prices of games in Euros are over there.

Edit: Actually since you get the free game as long as you buy MK8 some way, NSMBU bundle would be better, assuming he wants that game of course.

Well, the Mario + Luigi bundle is 20 Euros cheaper than the MK8 bundle and NSMBU costs 35 Euros at amazon. NSLU is over 30 Euros physical and 20 digital.

Mario Kart 8 is around 55 Euros.

EDIT: Yes, you get the free game with every MK8 copy, no matter if you buy it separately (physical or eShop) or the bundle.

Which part about "I live in Germany" did you not understand? Kein Wunder, dass du einsam bist. Niemand mag dich.

On topic: Getting the NSMBU+NSLU bundle and then Mario Kart 8 separately sounds like the best idea. Should be 360 Euro and with the free game you get for a Mario Kart 8 purchase, you'll get four games for your money (or to be accurate, three games and the expansion that is NSLU).

Klingt imo am besten. Aber irgendwie war die Wii U auch schon deutlich billiger...

Yes, I bought a second Wii U (Wind Waker bundle) for 199 Euros at HEM expert a few months ago as collector's item. And I paid it with 50 Euro vouchers that I got for 40 Euros, lol.
