Nintendo is running a Mario Kart 8 promotion at Best Buy where gamers who pre-order the game early will get a $10 prepaid MasterCard to use toward "real" gas.

"While supplies last. Offer available for physical game (SKU 8400089) only. In-store pre-order and purchase: code will be printed out on your store receipt at time of game pickup. Online pre-order and purchase: code will be e-mailed within 24 hours of street date. Enter this code at www.revupyourkart.com/redeem to get your Gas Cash, which can be redeemed at any gas station in the United States that accepts MasterCard," reads the listing on Best Buy's website.

The code on the receipt has to be registered by June 30, and the card is good until August 31. The card also does not have to be used specifically for gas, but the promotion suggests using it for gas to keep with the Mario Kart theme. See the listing here.

A Mario Kart 8 Wii U bundle was confirmed by Nintendo along with a Yoshi themed remote to go along with the new Princess Peach one.

The console bundle and controllers will be heading to Europe on May 30, Nintendo U.K. announced, reported Polygon.

The Mario Kart 8 Wii U Premium Pack will be £249.99, and include the 32 GB black model of the console with the GamePad controller, sensor bar, and a copy of the game. Another two bundles are being offered, reported Polygon. For £299.99, players will be given a GamePad cover protector, the Wii U Racing Wheel, and Mario or Luigi themed remote.

There is no word on whether these packs will be released in the U.S. yet. The bundle was rumored at the beginning of the week but Nintendo remained silent until today. "We don't have anything to announce at this time," they initially said.
