Amazon UK has put up a listing for the “Basic Just Dance and Wii Party U Pack with Mario Kart 8”.
The standard Basic Just Dance & Wii Party U Pack has been around for quite awhile, and can be bought for £199.99. It includes Just Dance 2014, Wii Party U, Nintendo Land, and a Wii Remote Plus.
Amazon’s newest product seems to sweeten the deal by adding in Mario Kart 8. That means you’d be receiving a total of four games with the Wii U purchase. A price isn’t mentioned, nor is there a release date.

Ubisoft has set a new record with Watch Dogs pre-orders.
The game, set to be released later this month, is now the most pre-ordered new IP in Ubisoft’s history and the second-highest pre-ordered Ubisoft game ever. If that wasn’t enough, Watch Dogs is the most pre-ordered new IP in the entire industry this year as well.

“These strong pre-orders are a clear indication of players’ anticipation and excitement for Watch Dogs. The teams have worked tirelessly to ensure that players will enjoy a top quality game with enormous scope, and we can’t wait to get the game into their hands.”
Gamestop pre-order sales data indicate that Watch Dogs “is the highest pre-ordered next-gen title to date and most pre-ordered new IP of the year.”
GameStop senior vice president of merchandising Bob Puzon said:
“There is massive buzz in all of our stores around Watch Dogs. Based on the current level of customer pre-orders we have received, Watch Dogs is the highest pre-ordered next-gen title to date and most pre-ordered new IP of the year.”
