Mario Kite...i mean Kart races on to the 3DS, and it's AWESOME
Mario Kart for the Nintendo 3DS is definitely looking to once again suck up massive amounts of playtime from gamers. My hands on with the game surely proves that may very well be the case this holiday.
The game will see a host of new features.
Nintendo announced during their press conference today that Mario Kart 3DS will be making its way to stores this holiday season. The game will see some new features, like gliders, underwater tracks complete with propeller carts, and tire choices for different handling. Nothing more of the game was announced, but it appears to be a slight departure from past entries in the series.
A Nintendo promotional reel reveals the game.
Further information from Nintendo after the reel, reveals that the game is in fact Luigi's Mansion 2. The trailer appears to feature new locales, including several new mansions for players to traverse. Mummies were spotted in the trailer, but little else new, just ghosts.
