Mario Kart has always been a passion for me, and dare I say, it is probably my favorite video game franchise of all time.
Nintendo UK (when in N.A. Nintendo?! WHEN!??!) has announced a Limited Edition bundle of the newest installment in the Mario Kart series: Mario Kart 8.
This new bundle features, you guessed it, the Spiny (or Blue) Shell as a neat little collector’s figurine to go with your game. Now you’ll be able to throw your precious Blue Shell figurine at your friends in REAL life after they use the Blue Shell on you in the game.
Depending on what retailer you pre-order from, you may even get one of several special keychains! Here is the description of them from Nintendo UK:
“The Bullet Bill Keyring is a pre-order item for Grainger Games, Game Centre, 365 Games (online only), Game Seek (online only), Base.com (online only), Playtime, The Games Exchange, That Game Shop, Gamescene, Xpress Games”
Be ready to play Mario Kart 8 when it launches globally on May 30th, and check out the most recent trailer below, introducing the Koopalings as playable characters!
