This information comes from Nintendo Power…
“Now that nintendogs + cats is done, I’ve been able to spend more time and energy on Mario Kart development. We really want to bring a bunch of new elements into the game, and I’m really looking forward to the time that I can announce what those elements are. Perhaps we’ll be able to talk in more detail at this year’s E3 event.” – Hideki Konno
I have a feeling Konno was being coy here on purpose. I wouldn’t expect him to start dishing out details about the title to a magazine, after all. Mario Kart 3DS is supposed to be released this year, though, so I expect that the title will have a significant presence at E3, along with Super Mario 3D, Star Fox 64 3D, and Kid Icarus: Uprising.
A survey published by the BBC in the past few days has revealed some startling (eh?) information regarding children living in the U.K., saying that, of 1,500 kids between the ages of six and fifteen, 22% had never run a distance of 400 metres, 10% couldn’t ride a bike and 15% couldn’t swim. The punch line of all of this? 77% of these kids have a gaming console at home, and 68% of them own a mobile phone.
I guess this just goes to show that kids in the U.K. are behind in fitness compared to other countries like America!
Oh wait…
