When you buy Mario Kart 8, you get to choose a free downloadable game from four different options. I already owned two of them and am in no rush to play Pikmin 3, so I opted for the worst possible value and wound up with Wii Party U. So far, it's been quite enjoyable, actually. The game feels like a Mario Party spin-off with way more options, and also Miis. This is stupid, simple fun with quick minigames and a whole lot of bullshit luck involved with winning or losing the larger sessions surrounding those minigames. I have no regrets so far. I only wish that this and Nintendo Land were somehow combined into one game that combined the wide variety here with the first party Nintendo goodness in that game. Regardless, both games are little more than demonstrations for the Wii U's capabilities, and they're plenty fun in their own right. It's no Mario Kart 8, but this strikes me as a game I'll be pushing on friends and family members for years to come.
