Looks like those of us in the U.S. will be getting yet another chance to play Mario Kart 8 before it releases, this time courtesy of Gamestop! Like the Pikmin 3 event they had a while back, it'll go on for two days, being Saturday the 17th and Sunday the 18th, from 12 noon to 4pm. Use the link below to check for locations! With these events being held at 2,700 different stores, you should definitely be able to find one near you, assuming you live in the U.S. atleast!

I'm guessing the demo they'll have will be the same as the one for Australia's hands on event, where it's 2 laps, 100cc, singleplayer or multiplayer, 8 tracks available, being Mario Kart Stadium, Water Park, Sweet Sweet Canyon, Mario Circuit, Toad Harbor, Sunshine Airport, Electrodrome, and Cloudtop Cruise. The demo also has all characters and I believe most vehicle parts available. So yeah, I'm definitely gonna be going to this!

Yay *tries not to cry*

Don't you wanna wait until launch day? It's not as if you need to play it to know it's going to be good.

I will wait! I want to get the full fap experience the day it comes out instead of incremental fap experiences!

I live in Europe, so..............yeah.

I dont live in the Usa! What now!? :(
Guess i'll have to wait until release!

Thank you Nintendo I wanna see how this game actually looks on a big screen not youtube.

Although only for two days? That's a little odd why not the whole week?

Also good to mention Mario Kart 8 and the Mario Kart 8 bundle are on gamestops best sellers list.

Is this the "exciting" thing that one guy that works at GameStop (sorry, forgot your username...) was talking about?

If so, I am disappoint.

Cool! I'll check it out Sunday after Church. :)

Its ok! We will send you a video of us Having fun! :D
