I think MK8 has to release in March if they want to have any chance to reach the 9 million WiiU units sold in this fiscal year.

Well, they DON'T have that chance to begin with. They're maybe at like, 4 million right now? If they're lucky they'll sell another million between now and March.
Mind you, if they do I'll be cool with it. Nintendo winning is a good thing.

100%. It's not a limited edition. It's their standard bundle now.
MK8 will not have big day-1 sales. MK is always a slow but long burn.
Disc.
The only reason I ask is that i've seen conflicting information like this here. It states in teh description it is a code :/
Do you really expect them to sell over 5 million consoles in basically 3 months?
even then, their fiscal year ends in March, considering Spring starts in the same month you're leaving to MK8 the massive almost nuclear job to sell them in matter of days...

There is even the disc box picture on the bundle box. And when there is a download code it is stated clearly on the box.
The physical box is also on the actual box. I find store descriptions not very trustworthy most of the time.

I should have my Lego edition turning up today or tomorrow so I'll find out soon.

Great game. Really blew me away at the time. I finished the story (like 20+ hours) and have 100% just 2 sectors in the map. Still have to do the other sectors and replay all the missions with all the powers. Lego games are great to 100%.
Very well written, so funny and charming.

CHeers for the info guys, i'm torn between this and the NSMBU/NSLU set as i'll be buying the Wii U with SM3DW so don't know if I need another Maro game straight away

I'd take Lego City over NSMBU any day.
I completely agree.
Donkey Kong Country was not the game they planned on getting those sales.
I think they probably planned on originally two titles: MK8 and Smash Bros to make it happen. Its not like people will have to buy consoles the day those games come out.
They are hoping people buy the console in anticipation of those games in the period from Xmas to March.
It could be why Reggie is going to the VGA awards to make such announcements,
or, there will be a direct coming in January.

Smash is NOT getting released early 2014, and I can see Mario Kart getting released mid 2014.
I would be very, very surprised if Zelda comes out next year. We've had two Zelda games at the tail end of 2013 already and even by Nintendo's standards, releasing another one only a year later would risk ridiculous over-saturation. As a major flagship title, I suspect they'll also give it more than two years' development time.
You work for Nintendo?

Damn I've been re-watching the X trailer lately...I need more....
The WiiU had two Zelda titles?
I think you should see it this way:
This last Zelda is meant to wet people's appetite for next year's Zelda.
So I have a question:
I have Nintendo Points in my local currency, which is SEK. But I have a UK account on my Wii U. Apparently I can't redeem these points on my UK account. Do I have to create a new, Swedish account? And if so, what disadvantages will it create (or could in the future) having two different users on the same machine?

I still want to buy Lego City. The price just haven't dropped at all.
it's worth full price, tons of value in that game, at least 40 hours worth of gameplay

Hopefully it's the main Sonic platformer as well. I don't see them doing another spin-off when the Gens team was mostly absent for Lost World so they're well underway with a game since 2011.
That's what I have heard. I'm just surprised I haven't seen it on sale even if it must have mega bombed.

It didn't "mega bomb".
Should be at 400.000 - 500.000 units by now.
And it's one of those titles which will sell forever anyway.

What, really? I haven't heard anything regarding how the Wii U version sold. Do you have a source for those numbers?
I agree that it's a title that will have long legs.

It was in the NPD Top 10 was it not?
Well deserved if it did that well, it's a gem of gems, the humor is hysterical, you can explore a ginormous city with no load times while doing so (the long load times are when starting the game and between missions).
This is is a game for the Nintendo crowd, perfectly matched. And I got it for $20 at Shoppers Drug Mart in Canada!
Not really a games related question but here it goes: what (liquid) should I use to clean the GamePad's screen? I have always felt like it's a little dirty or rather just not as clear as my 3DS XL's screens for example. Is that normal? I wish I could explain the issue more clearly but I've always felt like the screen was dirty out of the box.

Touch of water or screen cleaner is all I can really recommend.
I know it's such a weird issue (because I could swear it was like this out of the box!) but I guess I'll try some screen cleaner from wherever.

Nintendo says to use water only, for whatever that's worth.

Famitsu, NPD & a good guess for Europe.
The bundle should push it's sales furthermore.
Edit:
I wan't a new Nintendo Direct.
December is around the corner...

there was a LEGO bunduru?
Well if they are going to announce something that matters at VGX I think they need to have a Direct next week telling Nintendo fans to tune in. Otherwise I'd say it's a show that doesn't reach many Nintendo fans.
Plus now with ALBW and 3D World out of the door it's time to start hyping the next big thing from Nintendo. Donkey Kong is one. What else?
I'd expect a January Direct over one in December.
Yes. 720p @ 60FPS

Really? Well nevermind me then
But yeah I guess this exchange proves that it doesn't really matter with this title. It's quite slow paced.
