They should make this into a commercial as a hybrid between Pennzoil (that's how they spell it?!) and Mario Kart. Just having a demo of this at SXSW is boh-ring.

Seems interesting enough! I would personally like to see Nintendo team up with WWE to promote Smash Bros 4. That would be so cool!

I expect a nice 5k boost thanks to this promotion.

Well that's an odd pairing... why doesn't Nintendo pair up with Disney or Nickelodeon to idk advertise to an audience that actually cares about the game!

Pennzoil, the American oil company, has announced on Twitter that it has teamed up with Nintendo to promote Mario Kart 8 for Wii U. The company teased that there will be a live demo of Mario Kart 8 at this year’s SXSW event.

Glad to see that Nintendo is already promoting the game. Kind of creative with this one. Hopefully they don't stop here and keep coming up with new partnerships. Along with a strong TV ad campaign.

I think this is great thing that Nintendo is doing!! Partnering with Pennzoil to promote and advertise Mario Kart 8 will hopefully help with the sales of the Wii U and MK 8!! I'm already planning on buying a Wii U when MK 8 is released so this doesn't persuade me at all. I can't wait until May 30th that's for sure.
