Japan’s Mario Kart 8 campaign differs from North America and Europe

In North America and Europe, when you register Mario Kart 8 on Club Nintendo, you can receive a digital copy of another free Wii U title. The selection varies in both territories, though the promotion is ultimately the same.
It’s a bit different in Nintendo’s home country. For Japanese Wii U owners, they can get their hands on two games, but only to play for a month. Then one of these titles can be purchased for 40 percent off.
It’s interesting to see Nintendo try out these kinds of approaches. Hopefully we’ll see similar opportunities in the future!
