Hi.

I bought Mario Kart 8 recently and got the promotion code that allows me to choose a free Wii U game for download. I'm not sure which game to choose and was wondering if anyone have any suggestions?
I was leaning towards either New Super Mario Bros U (since Mario games are awesome and I've heard great things about the Luigi expansion) or Sonic Lost World (simply because it has free, Zelda-themed DLC) but I'm not sure, maybe someone can get me sold on one of the other games. I already got Wind Waker.

Thanks!
 
What region are you from? Both US and EU regions have different/more titles in their promo.

Oh, I see. I'm in the EU, these are the games I can choose from:

- Sonic Lost World

- Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games

- New Super Mario Bros. U

- Pikmin 3

- The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD

- The Wonderful 101

- Game & Wario

- Wii Party U

- Nintendoland

- Monster Hunter 3: Ultimate

Thanks!
 
That makes it easier!
I'd go for Mario because those games really retain their value. Anything else you want but don't choose you can pick up second hand :) that's how I'd tackle it anyway. I selected Wonderful 101 but haven't played it yet. I already own all the games I wanted from the selection and 101 was a leap of faith.
 
I went with Windwaker but only b/c my WiiU was the NSMB WiiU bundle.

Honestly I've only spent about 2 hours on Windwaker so far but I absolutely loved New Super Mario Bros WiiU. If I didn't have either game I'd probably choose it as the promo. But they are both good games.

Thanks! I went with NSMBU in the end, looking forward to trying it out and also to get the Luigi expansion though apparently I have to wait until the middle of August before I get the dl code :/ Thought I would get it right away.

The WInd Waker is an amazing game.

It sure is, it's the reason I got a WiiU in the first place. Otherwise I probably wouldn't have gotten one until Zelda U comes out.
 
Wow, you guys had a much bigger selection of games to choose from. I think we only had 4 or 5 to choose from. I wound up going with Wii Party U since I already had Wind Waker HD and wasn't all that interested in the others.
