After strangely selling out about a week ago, Mario Kart 8 is available for pre-order once again on Amazon. You can reserve a copy here.

I’m still not sure why Mario Kart 8 “sold out” in the first place, since we’re not talking about a limited item. Still, all’s well that ends well!

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

Elsewhere in the interview, Meeker and and translator Mai Namba commented on what changes Atlus had to make from the Japanese version:
