Nintendo of Europe have also announced that you’ll also be able to pick up Princess Peach and Yoshi themed Wii Remotes on the same day. Splendid.

These bundles have yet to be announced for North America, but if Nintendo sees sense then you should expect an announcement fairly soon, we hope. Regardless, this is a good move from NoE and should hopefully boost the sales of the Wii U, again we hope.

What are your thoughts of these announced Mario Kart 8 bundles? Will it convince you to pick up a Wii U if you haven’t already? Sound off in the comments below.
