Odd Mario commercials promote Japanese energy drink
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Random, Videos | 17 Comments
Mario isn’t foreign to strange advertisements in Japan. You may recall that some kooky commercials were made for Mercedes-Benz a few years ago.
Mario and friends are back in action to promote Dekavita C, a Japanese energy drink. It’s not a one-sided promotion, as these new videos also show off the 3DS and highlight the recently-released Mario Sports Superstars.

More Mario Kart 8 Deluxe footage, pink boost and faster loading times
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Videos | 6 Comments
GameReactor Spain has new footage up from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Additionally, the site shares a little bit of extra information about the game as well.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has a new pink boost, as we’ve seen in some of Nintendo’s official videos. If you hold the ZR button longer (about four seconds), after the red and blue boosts, it’ll turn pink. The pink boost is said to be more powerful and durable.
Loading times also seem to be improved on Switch. For example, loading the Egg Cup now takes less than 9 seconds on Switch in TV Mode, whereas it’s about 13-14 seconds on Wii U. Playing it in Handheld Mode hasn’t been fully tested, but it’s likely the same there as well.
Check out all of the latest Mario Kart 8 Deluxe footage below.
