Get GBC Mario Golf free if you buy Mario Golf World Tour on eShop
Get Kirby's Dreamland 2 free if you buy Kirby Triple Deluxe on eShop
I understand that with promotions that give you free retail games, their only option is to give them via eShop (Wind Waker HD will barely fit on the Wii U standard after I get MK8), but this is bullshit.
It wouldn't be feasible to offer the free games for physical copies. What allows Nintendo to make such promotions is the reduced cost of selling an eShop game. They didn't need to manufacture the cartridge, case and papers or transport the product to any stores. The Virtual Console games have already made their initial run, and giving them out like that is essentially free.

Memory space is precious. I already had to delete Luigi's Mansion 2 my friend gave me from his promotion. It's good for low filesize applications, like VC games and DLC, but digital games devour memory.
It might be a good idea to invest in a larger SD card. I've been using a 32GB microSD card with an adapter, and I haven't had any problems with 6 retail games, 8 eShop games (excluding the Pokémon Bank set), 13 NES games, 4 GB games, 3 GBC games and 10 GBA games. I still have a lot of space left!

A baseline WiiU is designed to be a lesser version of a "proper" WiiU
Companies are completely aware they are selling you a potentially nerfed version of their product, thats the whole point
The whole purpose of selling economy models of consoles is to force you to eventually upgrade to a more expensive version
Can't you use an external hard drive with the Wii U?
