Nintendo Will Present Kart Keys to Lucky Winner in Clarksville, Tenn.

–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Nintendo:

WHAT:

Nintendo will deliver a life-size Mario Kart™ vehicle to a Clarksville, Tenn., resident as the lucky winner of the GameStop® Epic Reward Giveaway™. Nintendo will present him with the keys to the fully functioning kart.

To celebrate the recent launch of the Mario Kart™ 7 game for the portable Nintendo 3DS™ system, Nintendo teamed up with West Coast Customs to create life-size models of two karts from the game – one for Mario™ and one for Luigi™ – and unveiled them at the 2011 LA Auto Show. A recent episode of Inside West Coast Customs on the Velocity Network showed how West Coast Customs and Nintendo worked together to make these video game vehicles a reality. Members of the GameStop PowerUp Rewards™ program had the opportunity to claim Mario’s kart as part of the monthly Epic Reward Giveaway. The kart comes complete with a decorative glider wing, as represented in the game. The Luigi Bumble V Kart resides at Nintendo of America’s headquarters in Redmond, Wash.


On this week’s episode: Metal Gear Solid 3D, Tekken 3D Prime Edition, Dillon’s Rolling Western, Mutant Mudds and Resident Evil: Revelations.



The first edition of the Kid Icarus: Uprising Iwata Asks discussion can be found on Nintendo’s site. We’ve compiled a handy summary of the interview below.

Satoru Iwata and Masahiro Sakurai tackle all sorts of topics, including Smash Bros., Kirby Air Ride, and Meteos. Obviously Uprising takes up a large portion of the discussion as well!

You can find the summary after the break.

Things should begin in a little less than 15 minutes.

The first 54 minutes will focus on the main presentation, followed by 43 minutes of footage/videos. I’ll be posting up any important information/media on the site throughout the event.


Nintendo Power has released a public preview of this month’s magazine. Titles featured include Kingdom Hearts 3D, Skylanders Giants, Xenoblade, and Extreme Escape Adventures: Good People Die. The issue arrives on newsstands on February 28 and is available now for subscribers.

Update: Added in another photo.


Nintendo of America posted the photo above to their Facebook page a short while ago. Additionally, the company wrote the following:

“?#Regginator himself was spotted getting ready to make some announcements. Stay tuned on this page tomorrow for the latest and the greatest!”

So… there will be announcements then? Nintendo Direct presentations have mainly been about games that have already been revealed. Maybe tomorrow’s show will be slightly more special than normal. We’ll see…
