You know how Mario Kart 8 comes with a red case? Now its predecessor has something similar going on as well. For the re-release of Mario Kart 7 in North America, the game is packaged in a red case.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 isn’t out yet, but you can already save on the game – if you intend to play on the Wii U or 3DS.

Amazon has both of these versions available for $10 off. Aside from the PS4 and Xbox One versions, all other releases have maintained their original prices strangely enough.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will launch in North America this Tuesday.

There were quite a few announcements last week, and a number of them were Nintendo-specific. I figured I’d take a few moments to recap some of the news in the latest “Random Thoughts” video. Although it’s not anything special, I hope you’ll enjoy it in any case!

Indie developer XenoHorizon has announced its first title “Arrow Time U” for the Wii U eShop. The game, which will launch later this year, is a puzzle/maze experience in which players guide a blue arrow through various levels.

Arrow Time U will offer the following features:

Forty hand-crafted levels for quick fun you can pick up at any time.
Replay any level you’ve unlocked at any time and aim to beat your high score!
Move through any object and render yourself invincible with the “phase through” ability–but use it wisely, because your power is limited!
Slow down time with the “time alter” ability.
Take down bosses without even attacking them.
Use advanced techniques like the lateral shift, speed boost, and phase timing to exploit the game’s mechanics to their fullest!

We’re told that an Indiegogo campaign will likely be created for Arrow Time U. When it goes live, the goal will be set at about $800 or so.

Screenshots from Arrow Time U can be found above. Note that the images are of development, do not represent the final product, and are subject to change at any time.

In what might be the strangest pre-order offers we’ve seen this year, Best Buy is giving out gas credit with Mario Kart 8 reservations. The offer is valid while supplies last, and is valid both in-store and online.

Best Buy’s Gas Cash can be redeemed at any gas station in the United States that accepts MasterCard. You’ll just need to enter the code provided by the retailer at www.revupyourkart.com/redeem.

At Niconico Super Conference 3 in Chiba, Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii stated that Square Enix is “making the next” entry in the series. Horii is almost certainly referring to Dragon Quest XI.

Once Horii mentioned this, Dragon Quest X producer Yosuke Saito as well as chief planner Anzai Takashi looked as though they weren’t expecting him to say that. They were, in other words, indicating that Horii said something he shouldn’t have said. Oops?
