According to French gaming website Game Blog, there will be a new Wii U Premium pack that's bundled with Mario Kart 8. This bundle will reportedly be released on May 30th upon the game's launch. 

The report also mentions that the bundle includes a black version of the Wii U that has 32 GB of storage, GamePad, Mario Kart 8, and a free seven day trial to Wii U Karaoke. While most of the details were outlines, the website did not list a concrete price of the bundle. It is speculated that it would cost approximately €299 based on how much previous premium packs cost. 

Earlier this month, we reported the launch of the game's trailer and the list of all the confirmed characters. We know that there will be a 12 person online multiplayer game mode and a 4 person local multiplayer as well. Fans also reqjoiced at the fact that the game will run at 1080p, 60 FPS. Additionally, we also wrote about a video that was released that compared Mario 8's Retro tacks graphics to its predecessors.
