Own a Wii U? If the answer is yes my guess is you'll be planning on picking up the latest Mario Kart when it hits the Wii U on May 30th. You maybe tempted to pick it up sooner rather than later, thanks to a Nintendo Direct broadcast which hit the internet today. Purchase and register a copy of Mario Kart 8 on the Club Nintendo website between May 30th and July 31st and you'll get a free downloadable Wii U game. What are the games up for grabs I hear you cry? Check this little list out!

Zelda: Wind Waker

Super Mario Bros U

Game and Wario

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate

Sonic Lost Worlds

Pikmin 3

Nintendo Land

Wii Party U

Wonderful 101

Mario and Sonic: Sochi 2014 Winter Olympic Games

Now that is a tasty selection of some of the biggest hits on the Wii U thus far, and I for one will be torn between which game to choose. I'll likely go for The Wonderful 101 by Platinum Games, a title I've been tempted by since its release but have yet to purchase.

You can check out a new trailer featuring the rest of the new Mario Kart news below. The character list is now up to 30 playable stars, with Baby Rosalina and Pink Gold Peach joining in the karting fun. 2 new weapons will be available to, including a Super Horn, which will be perfect for dealing with those pesky blue shells!
