Nintendo Wii U 32GB Premium Pack with Mario Kart 8, Sensor Bar and Accessories

Mario Kart 8

Mario Kart 8 brings anti-gravity to the world of racing. In this game, you can race up vertical walls and across ceilings, introducing true three-dimensional course design! You’ll also be able to enjoy some familiar features from more recent titles, such as aerial and submarine racing from Mario Kart 7, as well as the bikes from Mario Kart Wii.

Please note: A digital copy of Mario Kart 8 is pre-installed on this console.

Wii U Console

The Wii U takes you right into the action with more power, more features and a revolutionary new controller. The new Wii U GamePad boasts a huge touchscreen to give you even more control over menus and on-screen action. It’s also super compact, so fitting it underneath your TV is quick and easy.

You can still play your old Wii favourites on the Wii U. What’s more, most of your favourite Wii accessories like the Wii Remote, Nunchuk and Balance Board will still work on the Wii U (sensor bar required).

The Wii U even comes with built-in Wi-Fi to get you online and taking on the world in moments. There’s also integrated flash memory for easy onboard game saving, four USB ports that support Wii Lan Adaptors and USB storage devices, as well as an SD card slot.

Highlights:

• Miiverse is a brand new network communication system that lets gamers from around the world share experiences, discuss games and discover new content. From here you can challenge your friends to play together, ask a question about a difficult level or discover new elements in your favourite games. After a notable achievement or other share-worthy moment, you can even pause your game and post messages to the Miiverse community.
• There’s a lot to discover in the Nintendo eShop. Players will be able to purchase and download games and apps. You can also watch trailers, view charts based on popularity, or search for games with the search function.
• Wii U comes with a browser that allows you to surf the internet from the comfort of your couch. Using the simple controls on the Wii U GamePad, it's possible to display your favourite web pages on the TV to share with family and friends, or just browse the web on the GamePad without using the TV. You can even use the browser when you are in the middle of a game!
• In addition to being able to play almost all Wii games you already have, you can also continue to use your controllers and other accessories such as Wii Remote Plus (and Wii Remote) controllers, and Nunchuk controllers.

Wii U GamePad

Break down the barriers between your games and you with a second window into the action thanks to the Wii U GamePad. It features built-in motion control, with an all-new 6.2-inch LCD touchscreen for even more action. Some games even allow you to continue the action through the controller while somebody else watches TV.

There’s also a built-in camera for video chat between Wii U consoles (with a mic so you can be heard!) and TV Control button for channel hopping. The GamePad is ready for Near Field Communication (NFC), allowing it to read and write data to special cards without contact. Of course, along with all these features, it’s still a great controller with dual-analogue sticks, a d-pad, shoulder and trigger buttons.
