There’s a brand-new Mario Kart 8 Wii U bundle on sale now that includes a black 32GB Wii U console, a digital download of Mario Kart 8, and the two DLC packs that came out late last year and early this year. The bundle will cost $299.99.

In May 2014, Nintendo released a Mario Kart 8 bundle along with the release of that game. That bundle cost $329.99 and didn’t come with any downloadable content (DLC ), worth $11.99 when purchased together or $7.99 individually. But it did include a red Wii remote and a red steering wheel, which do not seem to be included in the new bundle.

Mario Kart 8 is the game I play most often on my personal Wii U, so if you’re thinking of buying a new Nintendo console, this isn’t a bad deal. If you want know what the DLC levels are like, check out Pixelkin Let’s Plays of Mario Kart 8 below.
