The race is on to score our #MK8 Limited Edition Bundle exclusive to #NintendoWorld! Pre-orders start now!

Seems to be the same as the EU LE : you get the Blue Shell figure. Obviously, it's NA-only since... well... the only Nintendo World (besides the one at NoA HQ) is in New York.

Launch even too :

Join #NintendoWorld on 5/29 for the early launch of #MK8 from 8pm-12 midnight! Visit nintendoworldstore.com for updates from our pit crew.

so... the limited edition of mario kart 8 in NA is going to be sold only at one store in new york.... man if I lived in new york I would so camp the store for these, they are going to go for a ton on ebay.

Well, I am going to preorder from there this weekend!

you should buy all of them and then sell them (minus the one you keep) on gaf for only a small mark up :p

So exclusive to NYC.

neat, thanks nintendo.

These exclusives would mean much more to me if there were more Nintendo stores around. :/

It looks so damn good. The package art omg.

So of course it has to be an exclusive item from a store in New York City. No way I could get my hands on this :''(

Love the packaging. The controller options for this game are ridiculous (in both a good and bad way). How are consumers not confused by this?

I guess that makes sense to limit it to just one store in NY, it's not like the Gamestop exclusive Wind Waker LE's sold like hot cakes or anything.

Nintendo gonna Nintendo.

...

If I cancel a Gamestop pre-order, do they give cash back?

They give you money back however you paid for it. If you used credit card, they put it back on card. If you used cash, they give it back as cash.




Also, fuck this. I'm sad. I was *JUST* there for pax east. I live 7 hours away, i'm not going to this. Online preorders please. :( :( :(

Yeah this was widely availably here in Germany. Saw it on Amazon for example. Seems to be sold out now though.

Why do they always do such stupid limiting releases in the US?

Thanks georly and Cbajd (dunno why I thought it was strictly store credit), but I just realized my new battle plan:

- Switch MK8 $20 preorder to 2 $10 preorders on Smash for 3DS & Wii U. @ Gamestop Union Square
- Take train 3 stops and pre-order Mario Kart 8
- Go get Chinese from that buffet across the street
???

Profit.
 
Seriously Nintendo?

Maybe if there was like, I don't know, a Nintendo Store in every major city, but there's literally only one of these, in New York.
Well I was gonna get it, not now.

Now that sounds like a plan!
 
So are GAF members from NY going to start taking requests? ;]

Would really be down for this. Such a shame it's only available at Nintendo World.

You should tweet Nintendo about that, it's a great idea.

Edit: Does NoA have something about the colour red? Cause it seems to have been appearing a lot lately for US editions of Nintendo games. Not that complaining, I prefer the EU style anyway.
