Have you been hoping to get to try Mario Kart 8 before it gets released at the end of this month. Do you live in America?, following Mario Kart 8 being playable for the weekend in Australia a few weeks ago Nintendo has announced that they will be giving people in America the chance to play the game ahead of release. If you head down to your local Gamestop store you will be able to try out the Wii U racer between 12 PM and 4 PM local time during the weekend of May 17-18 as part of “Mario Kart 8 Test Drive Days”.
Those who pre-order Mario Kart 8 at GameStop will receive an exclusive double-sided poster. This applies to previous reservations as well.
So are you going to go check the game out, this will probably be your best opportunity particularly if you are still yet to get a Wii U it just might drive your decision.
Mario Kart 8 is out in most countries on Friday May 30th and in Australia Saturday May 31st.
