3DS

Man, I wish things like this happened on Nintendo’s end more often. You guys remember that old 80s movie where the the little kid won the NES gaming competition? I don’t remember what it was called, but man, that was awesome.

Anyway, Nintendo is hosting a one-time event in Melbourne, Australia where players compete to win a shiny new 3DS and a copy of the unreleased Mario Kart 7. Here are all the details:

– Happening on November 5th (Saturday) in Melbourne
– Held at The Nintendo Experience, EB Games, 67 Swanston St
– 150 player maximum
– Regristration opens at 10AM, goes until 4PM
– Two age divisions: Under 12 and Over 13
– Play one track from every Mario Kart game (7 included)
– Times from all the tracks will be added together, the quickest overall winning the 3DS and MK7

If you want more details about which tracks you’ll be playing on (looks like it’s Mario Circuit on each game), head over to Nintendo’s website and check out all of the official rules and prizes and levels and stuff. Best of luck to anyone who enters!
