We’ve seen Mario Kart 8’s North American pack front previously, but Amazon now has a better shot of it available. And yep – looks like the red box really is happening.

On another random note, Amazon has stopped taking pre-orders for Mario Kart 8. No clue why that is, but hopefully they’ll resume again shortly.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

Japan’s prime minister feels that, believe it or not, the country can learn from Nintendo.

When asked about his growth strategy for Japan, Shinzo Abe said:

“Well, for example, there’s a company called Nintendo. Over there, they made hanafuda cards, but gradually the people playing hanafuda decreased. However, that company called Nintendo makes hanafuda cards and whatnot, and I believe that only by doing that, it wasn’t able to protect hanafuda.”

According to Abe, Nintendo used technical expertise to lead the way in developing home video game consoles.

“And at the same time, it is keeping the traditional hanafuda cards. For sure, I think this is something that we can learn from.”
