Default "Another" Wii U bundle question

I'm getting ready to take the plunge so I can play Mariokart 8 and some other awesome Wii U games but here's my dilemma. I saw a photo of a possible Mariokart 8 bundle. Does anyone think this will be out for the release? The console is just the plain black 32gb console but the game or a game code is included in the bundle. I don't know if I should just go ahead and get a console so I can already be familiar with it somewhat or wait and see if the MK8 bundle does appear. When I bought my original Wii I waited for years before jumping in and got the Black MK Wii bundle so I have that console(just p,aim black) and its original box with the MK art. Just would like opinions as to whether you think the MK8 bundle will be out soon. Thanks!

You never know, a Mario Kart 8 bundle Wii U could come out. I would wait until Mario Kart 8 actually releases before taking the plunge and buying a Wii U. Of course the bundle, if there is one, will probably come out on or near release of the game.

If a bundle comes out, I'd take it.

Youll never know....leaked photos sometimes give ideas to
manufacturers that after a few months, they make it i think.

It's possible that there'll be a bundle, like with Windwaker HD. If you have something else to play on you can just wait and see, if you don't you can just get a bundle with a game you'd play anyway. If the bundle includes a limited edition console that's another story though...

The Mario Kart 8 bundle has been confirmed to be released at the same time as the game itself.

It will have a Wii U Deluxe, a Mario wii remote, a red steering wheel and, of course, Mario Kart 8.

Also, the digital download offer works too. That means if you register Mario Kart 8 on Club Nintendo, you'll get a chance to download either New Super Mario Bros. U, Pikmon 3, Zelda Wind Waker HD or Wii Party U for free. That means you can get two games!

If this won't sell Wii Us, they're pretty much screwed.

Looks like this latest bundle will be the deal that will make me take the plunge and buy the system. However, should the bundle cost a good deal more than $329 in Canada (weak dollar and all that), I might wait for another deal...

EDIT: And it turns out the bundle will cost $349 in Canada.

Decisions... decisions...
