Get revved up! Mario Kart 8 for Wii U boosts across the starting line on May 30
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 2 Comments
REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–3 … 2 … 1 … GO! Whether playing with family members in the living room, fellow students in the dorm, coworkers in an office or even online with friends around the world, there is nothing that elicits the same fun, camaraderie and healthy competition like a rousing round of Mario Kart. The Mario Kart series is one of the most recognizable and loved video game series of all time. Tomorrow, Mario Kart 8 will race into stores nationwide and the Nintendo eShop on Wii U, bringing with it anti-gravity racing that finds players speeding upside down and along walls using karts and motorbikes, a variety of single- and multiplayer features and stunning high-definition graphics that make every detail pop off the screen.
“Ever since the launch of the original Super Mario Kart game on the Super NES more than 20 years ago, the words ‘Mario Kart’ have come to represent the gold standard for unpredictable and competitive racing fun,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Mario Kart 8 is an experience only available on Wii U, and the anti-gravity racing makes it unlike anything the series has seen before.”

Nintendo picks up trademark for “Delta Emerald” in Japan
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 5 Comments
In Japan, Nintendo has obtained a new trademark for “Delta Emerald”. The company filed for the name on May 2, though it was only published for all to see today.
When you think of “Delta Emerald”, Pokemon Emerald is something that comes to mind. Interestingly enough, that title was released as part of the same set of games as Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire.
Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire remakes were announced for the 3DS very recently. Could Nintendo also have plans to bring out “Pokemon Delta Emerald” at some point as well?

Mario Kart 8 – Mario Kart TV web app now live
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 1 Comment
Nintendo has gone live with the official Mario Kart TV web app for Mario Kart 8. You can find it here.
By visiting the site, visitors can view Mario Kart 8 highlight reels uploaded by friends, strangers, or even themselves. Things seem to be slightly buggy at the moment (at least on my end!), but everything should work well soon enough.
