I would have loved to pick up Monster Hunter 3 for free. But that game already has a few price drops. Pikmin 3 will stay full price forever. So I'm happy to get it free with MK8.

Haha, Nintendo Fanboy needs to get a job!

I'm one of the ones stuck with Wii Party U.  Glad I'll get to check it out, but if Europe is getting Wonderful 101, then I'm super jelly.  I would've much preferred that option.

This is a huge promotion, and I really hope it gets people to bite on getting a Wii U.

If you don't want Wii Party U that badly, and happen to own any of the games physically, you could get some trade credit out of the deal at least. That's what I'm doing (New Super Mario U, you're gettin' promoted - but I also bought a Wii Remote+ for $30 that came with Wii Party U, and it's twice the size of NSMBU.)

Yup, I actually just picked up MH3 for $22 from Amazon (U.S.A.)   But NickMitch, don't feel bad.  Wonderful 101 is also going for around $20.

Reading comments about the voicechat, people seemed to have not pick up that it's ONLY FRIEND LOBBIES.


Why Nintendo? If it's just gonna be locked to friends only, why not during races too?! I was excited about the voicechat but then i learned it's only lobbies. I thought ok, that's decent i guess; friends and randoms, now we are getting somewhere Nintendo . Then i read abit more about the voicechat function and saw the line "Only Friend lobbies" I just went GJBSJKHFNCD##%$#!!

Now, if only we had voice chat too we could feast our ears on this music of yours...

Voice chat is one of those things I think should just be there even though I probably wouldn't use it often. Besides my preference for local multiplayer, I tend to play more versus mode than co-op. There isn't a lot of need for voice chat in that case. There's more value if I know the person personally, but if I was playing against a stranger or a strictly online friend, I have far less to talk about. I'm not a trash talker because I think that's lame. I get the strategy of trying to get inside someone's head and distract them (though I think your skill should speak for itself, granted you have any), but some people just **** talk because they're arrogant bastards and I have no time for that.
