Want To Play ‘Mario Kart 8’ Weeks Before Release? Head To Your Participating GameStop Stores This Weekend!

Nintendo and GameStop are teaming up again to bring Mario Kart 8 to the people two weeks before its release date. On the weekend of May 17th, select stores will have the game on display for anyone who wants to give the game a test drive with an exclusive demo version.

Coming exclusively to the Wii U, new and existing preorders will receive a Mario Kart 8 poster for attending. In addition, GameStop will be giving away prizes up to the release of the game with its #MarioKartMemories campaign, so those time where you got hit by a blue shell off of Rainbow Road right behind the finish line might be useful for more than just immense rage.

For further details, including entry rules for the #MarioKartMemories campaign and participating store locations for the Test Drive event, visit these links. For now, check out the game in motion and share your excitement with the world! Mario Kart 8 will release on May 30th.
