If you haven't picked up a Wii U yet but have been wanting to check out Mario Kart 8 (and trust me, if you like the previous entries in the series you'll enjoy Mario kart 8), Nintendo has a solution for you.  A new Mario Kart 8 Wii U bundle is now on sale in stores around the country for $299.99.  The new bundle will include a pre-installed copy of Mario Kart 8 and will include a Nintendo eShop download card for the 2 DLC packs.  Definitely worth it in my opinion.
