Tag: Mario Kart 8

When my mom couldn’t see me when I was a kid, you better believe that I gave my brother the finger a lot. I would use the “feather” gesture when she was watching. When mom was nearby but the feather didn’t accurately portray how much I wanted to pummel him at the time. 

Target is going crazy for Nintendo. The company has started giving more than 650 stores across the country a Mario Kart-themed makeover. This is all to promote the launch of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for Nintendo Switch on April 28th. This theme will include things like Mario-themed bollards outside the store, a countdown timer sound when you cross the start line at the entrance, and shopping carts decorated to look like karts. Better stock upon shells and banana peels so you can climb in that cart and wage war inside of a Target near you.

You know I haven’t played a Nintendo game since the original Wii was around. I just found the games to be lacking. However, this news has me actually considering buying a Wii U. Basically Nintendo has an Excitebike track in an upcoming Mario Kart 8 DLC pack.

I have to be honest. I haven’t been a Nintendo fan for ages. These consoles that once had great games just haven’t had anything worth playing for ages. That’s just my opinion. However, this footage from Mario Kart 8 has me actually excited for a Nintendo game.
