Mario Kart 8 Preorder from Games Men (Sydney) for $64 pickup or add $4.90 for postage. Keep in mind they say they ship 1 day before release and the game is released on a Saturday, so you won't get your order to the following Monday if you are having it delivered.

    Really good price. Too bad I MUST have the special edition and am willing to pay $100 at EB :(

    • jv on 11/03/2014 - 14:17

      what's the difference with the special edition ?

      • rukia on 11/03/2014 - 14:18

        You get a blue shell. Can't see why that would be worth an extra $30-$35

          I am a huge nintendo fan. I have spent thousands of dollars on nintendo figures/statues. Nintendo limited editions are usually actually limited. I bought the ocarina edition from eb for ocarina of time and if you go on ebay it is now selling for $500-$1000! I did not pre-order link between worlds and missed out on that mini chest which again is selling for $100 plus. This is why I pre-order their limited items the day I hear about them as $30 is nothing compared to what I would have to pay later. I am sure many people could not care less about a piece of plastic but to each their own :)

          The ocarina isn't selling for that. It has listings at that price, but i can't see any sold listings (only ones for $160+ that haven't sold)

        • [Deactivated] on 11/03/2014 - 15:19

          Hey Dany, tried Private messaging you, I am about to get rid of lots of Nintendo collectables, PM me if you are interested. Otherwise ill try ebay i guess.

        • Dany34 on 11/03/2014 - 16:42

          I have seen a bunch sell for $150. They changed the price to $250 plus and more sold. Now the prices are getting crazy. Not saying they selling for $500+ but that is the listings because it was an EB Australia exclusive. The fact they have sold for $250 plus and I paid $59 is the point I was trying to make :)

        • Dany34 on 11/03/2014 - 16:44

          sorry had it disabled. Has been enabled now. Let me know what you got!

          They should have just added a banana skin.

  • Hasquarl on 11/03/2014 - 14:16

    You should put the merchant in the title. Otherwise great price. Knowing Nintendo, this isn't going to get much cheaper.

      Noted and added store to title thanks!

    I'm guessing this is imported stock rather than AU?

    • bostos on 11/03/2014 - 14:34

      Gamesmen is local retailer and have store front
      they are not like those online shops that sell overseas version of game

      • IceCreamBandit on 11/03/2014 - 14:46

        Yes they are local but from experience they sell both local and imported products. You'll have to ask to see which version they offer. I bought a UK Zelda and NHL game from them last month.

      Hey KKraig, I can confirm that all stock of Mario Kart 8 sold by us will be genuine local Australian stock direct from Nintendo Australia. :D

      • KKraig on 11/03/2014 - 18:46

        Cheers - good to know!
        Mainly wanting to know for the Club Nintendo side of things

  • j4ck on 11/03/2014 - 15:20

    Wow. Great price.

    If only I could get this price at JB (I have a giftcard to burn there).

  • Bob81 on 11/03/2014 - 15:42

    Wow… I had no idea we were up to the eighth reiteration of Mario Kart!

      This will be the 11th Mario Kart if you count the arcade cabinets.

    • mafmouf on 11/03/2014 - 15:56

      Are you still reminiscing the first one? Hehe.

  • Store RepTheGamesmen @ The Gamesmen on 11/03/2014 - 15:59

    Kudos to Pandabargain for beating us to the punch on this one :P

    Just to confirm:
    YES - we do dispatch pre-orders day before release (unless same day shipping is selected) so that you get the order asap without breaking street date
    YES - This is all local Australian stock from Nintendo Australia (NOT imported)

  • Splashtash on 11/03/2014 - 17:31

    aww ~~~~ just looked at this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCqrcc4oVKc for wii u ~~ seeing smash brothers ONLINE - i think ill have to buy it just for mario kart 8 + smash bros online experience

  • LolwutMikka on 11/03/2014 - 19:00

    $68.90 shipped to Vic. Saved me $1, thanks OP

  • Pancake Lover on 11/03/2014 - 19:52

    Thank you so much op ^_^

  • abc on 13/03/2014 - 22:11

    People here is something to think about. Nintendo are having a deal where if you buy Super Mario Kart from the eShop for $10.50 by 30/06/2014 you will get $10.40 off MK8 ($79.95 rrp) when it is released on 31/05/2014.

    You might think this is a raw deal however if you have a Wii U Premium pack don't forget you are enrolled in Nintendo Network Premium which will net you 542 points for your SMK and MK8 purchases. 500 points = $7 credit on the eShop so essentially you are paying $72.95 for SMK, MK8 and whichever other content you want to spend your $7 eShop credit on. You also have the luxury of not having to change discs when you want to play other games.

    Might not be as good a deal if you don't want both games but if you have a Wii U Premium and intending to pay the $79.95 retail as mentioned in the post I would strongly suggest you buy from the eShop.
