This is great. Nintendo needs to push a mainstream presence, and endorsements are part of that. Mario in a Benz makes him "real".

If it were a regular go kart with just the Mercedes symbol on it, to advertise the whole brand, it would have been much better, IMO.

I like the TV ad, but I want that stupid SUV the hell out of Mario Kart.

If I never download it, will I never see it online?

Nintendo doing blatant product placement??????

Good job Nintendo. Welcome to the modern age ;)

Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

I fail to see a link between product placement that cheapens the game experience and selling that game experience to a broader audience. Because there isn't one. Think about what you're saying.

nice. Hopefully they'll offer other car brands.

That would be cool DLC and definitely a first for MK.
