Mario Kart 8 Deals & Offers

I agree. Surely everyone who played the Wii U version to death also feels the same? Kart is obviously meant to be annoying at times, but there’s a line! :D

Apart from the extras, the Switch version is exactly the same as the Wii U version. It's ridiculous.

Free online though

The king boo item is f***ing annoying, the amount of times I've had a mushroom and I've gone to use it on a short cut and it has been taken or a red shell I've been saving to hit the person ahead on a bend or jump and it's been taken! And 200cc and mirror mode races come a lot more regular on the online races. Both of these changes have made what was an extremely annoying but great game even more annoying and less fun to play. If you've never played the wii u version, which most people haven't, you are probably oblivious to this but if you have played the wii u version it does your head in.

I preferred being able to hold only 1 item, other than that the switch version is superior.

Great price. Cracking game!

Great game and even more fun online. Just a shame the hackers spoil it sometimes.

Bargain and the game is still fully populated on the U, plus for £10 Mario Maker has level up the wazzo to enjoy on the U, Pikman 3 is also £10, another bargin, Zombi U £2:50, another steal........oh, and no payway. ;)

Just a note that a wii U is a different console than a Wii... or so I have been told

Pretty sure Cex use Ebay to some extent to set their prices, as prices rise and fall so do Cex's.

thats correct wigwam, on the wii u battle mode is on the tracks only which is mystery why they decided to do that? they added back the arena battle mode on the switch

Oooo is battle mode on tracks? I rarely play it but seem to remember that being v sucky and the switch added the old school arenas

What's the difference?

correct. however i specified 'arena battle mode' of which there is not

I like these comments...thought there weren't many like me with a wii u but looks like the deal hunters know a bargain and avoided the switch in favor of the U (y)

What's wrong with you?

I have forgot the name of that Co. that the UK Nintendo store outsource to, but they probably found some of these in a cupboard, no doubt. Such a dissapointing game, everyone was cheesed of when it came out with the single item only and crap battle mode for multiplayer.

I remember pre-ordering this. The game was delayed by like 1-2 days, and during that time from release date Nintendo sent everyone messages to keep them updated on when delivery would come. They ended up giving everyone a free digital copy of the game. So the next day I got my copy, and sold the brand new cd off. Think I made £40 for the game and only paid £20-25 for the shell which now Had been sold for around £30-50. (shock)

Nope, Just the game & Shell

Does it include the AOC Pack that is being used for the deal image?

I must be dense... Really don't know what you're talking about. It's just a deal you can access and that saves you money. That's why it's here. It's not a "patriotic thing". Feel you lot are a bit too salty lately over other current stuff

Also a good deal but some people like myself only buy digital. Preferences.

i got it on amazon for 30 ages ago

Found Mario Kart for £33 rather than £50 in the UK, so it's alright.

yen exchange rate is very down right now

theres a us code on the 16h apparently

LOL... Read my comment about the codes us UK customers get.

Anyone know when the next UK Ebay discount code will happen ??

Yep was only one day, expired earlier at 23:59 AEDT / 12:59 GMT, early bird and all that

Has this expired ?? And can u use the same aus account from a few weeks ago or does it have to be new ??

Seems to fluctuate a lot between 8, 10 and 12 this one. Last I saw it on here was exactly the same price drop.

£7.99 in cash converters (y)

Yes fam.

Picked up a second hand Wii U a few months ago and don't regret it for a second. Console for peanuts and amazing AAA titles for next to nothing.

I don't know why anyone bothers with smartphones when we have perfectly good landlines!

Ice cold. Also suggesting a switch isn’t better than this is ridiculous.

This deal makes no sense. I have no idea what that random £171 means.

The switch is vastly superior. Very happy with my purchase. Plus you are missing some absolute gems if you decide this over a switch.

Bought it with 45£ off

Its not the same . You bought from an Italian website using your correct details, nothing fraudulent about that.

You are misrepresenting by setting up an ebay account with a false address. You are naive to think that ebay couldn't threaten legal action, but whether they would is another thing. Doesn't change the fact it is fraud.

ebay could put an end to this by simply saying that an amazon.AU discount code is only valid for AU addresses and so on. The fact they don't they clearly dont have that much of a problem with it. It is no different to when I bought my WiiU from amazon.IT because it was significantly cheaper. We live in an international world, despite brexit... its like people are upset when someone gets a decent deal. For whatever it was worth for those that bought this deal had they waited one more day for the 15% UK code they might have got a better deal. Such is life.

Yes received my iPhone today as well!

Thanks OP received my Switch mario kart and Zelda today, that fast shipping from Aus. :D

Still cheapest price don't get why it's cold

That's the next available price online

I don't know I want one for £25 hopefully they will compete and bring it down xx

Why is this deal so low -41?

Yeah it's because there's no business address but if ya find anymore deals like that inbox me as ao.com price match most websites

Apparently in summer 2018, wherever they got that from we know it's not true (lol) But yes, I really want a Mario Kart 9!

Worth it. And when you've exhausted the tracks on it I recommend then buying the complete DLC for about a tenner more. Well worth it. Is there any news on whether Mario Kart 9 will be released? The Switch needs its own version rather than a port of this game.

All depends on stock levels. Either way, it’s cheap and has a 2 year warranty. Can’t lose.

Good price but it's been £10 for about a month in my local CeX

Four of us play split screen so much on wii u that I recently bought a switch because it has proper battle mode tracks. It still didn't feel intense though like from childhood so unsure whether to sell switch or wii u. Double weapon holding is good tho :)

Revolut is a great card but a Halifax clarity card has 0 exchange rate fees too so that works too. Any advantage getting digital like the Xbox game share? Most of my Xbox games are digital but for some reason want to get nintendo games as physical...

I’m so annoyed about that, I was about to buy it!!!

Yeah. I noticed this too. Bummer.

showing as 750 rand (£38) for me? is this expired :-( ?

Could I just set up a SA account as my main account?

Yeah, best way. The Wii U is on life support.

just picked up a cheap switch and Mario kart for 230 just to be on the safe side. Only want it for online play

Nothing announced yet. Maybe 1-2 years left?

Yes online still works and is free. Eventually the servers will get switched off like they did on the Wii but no date announced yet.

Is the wii u still online? And free?

Not digital? wtf

Voting cold because: - used - not digital Freezing cold nips added (highfive)

Splatoon a good price at £12.99 https://www.game.co.uk/en/m/splatoon-301287

Mario Shart is better.

I got a discounted wii u a few weeks ago and other than having no box it was near mint and had mariokart 8 on it They wouldn't buy a phone I had because of a tiny crack in the screen surround or a camera lens which had a bit of dust in it (perfectly normal for a dslr lens) so they are fussy on what they take.

have you read the terms of the 2 year warranty? to be completely honest i don't know why you decided to be passive aggressive with me in the first place here. go to your nearest cex, look at the items that are labelled boxed/unboxed and then the exact same thing that is discounted and see the differences for yourself. in fact my brother just bought a discounted xbox one controller 2 weeks ago and took it back the next day because the buttons were sticking down once pressed. are you telling me that is perfectly working? coz i dont think so :)

I was in the same boat (lol) (lol) but hey, gameplay beats all right!? I'm jealous of the mario edition....

I saw on eBay; Zelda Wind Waker HD digital for £9.7x from Music Magpie. Seemed good

Yeah okay mate, so this is the process is it; CeX test an item and decide it is 'nearly broke' so rather than reject it, they categorise it as 'discounted', and buy it from the person selling DESPITE knowing that it's 'nearly broke'. They then sell this 'nearly broke' item with a 2 year warranty. (lol)

That’s great. But they are totally different concepts none-the-less.

I care for the sake of other people’s boredom and sanity enough to comment on your post. On behalf of the human race: nobody cares.

Yes, but the wii u remote can be used to play the game in hand held, portable mode, as long as you are close to the console, as for when you play on the TV.. the remote screen becomes just a gimmick, displaying the menu, map, inventory, which is interesting, but since you can get to the menu/map/inventory with the press of a button, you may end up never looking at the remote screen, or just using a wii u pro controller.

I haven't heard that Nintendo have stopped supplying Wii U games :{

Love the cognitive dissonance (pirate)

If anyone has a Switch, the Switch version is the same plus both DLC packs included.

Wake me up when Super Smash Brothers is this price for Wii U

Buying it new and you get the drugs threw in as a bonus.

Your logic is flawed.

:/ So just a bag then?
