So some exciting announcements from Nintendo today at the E3 conference. Mario Kart 3DS and Wii U. We knew Mario Kart was coming, still not much details on it, but looks like it will be good. The Wii U looks really cool. HD graphics and a portable device to add some extra ways to play console games. Check them out here.
Mario Kart 3DS:
Wii U:
Steve’s Yoshi mini infrared RC car, with turbo boost.
The banana, the most common item when you in 1st or 2nd.
The green shell. I hate it when I get hit by these.
Wired Mario RC standard kart all the way from Japan!!
Our wall of Mii’s designed by me. I will post details with a closer look of each character in future posts.
Mariokart is a big part of Cobi. There are so many elements to game that make it interesting and fun to play without getting boring. When we’e all stressed and frustrated with work, we usually turn to a game of Mariokart as a pick-me-up. I’ve just come across what I think is the perfect addition for our new office. If anyone is in Japan and cares about us, please get us one!!
