Over in Japan, the free game promotion for Mario Kart 8 will differ from the European and North American campaigns.
Instead of a free game for purchasing Mario Kart 8, fans in Japan will receive two games, but only playable for a month after redemption. After trialing both games, only one can be bought to play beyond the trial period at a 40% discount. Free games to download include:
- Game & Wario
- NintendoLand
- Super Mario Bros. U
- Pikmin 3
- The Wonderful 101
- The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD
