<p><span style="color: #262626;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Mario Kart</i> the beloved racing series by Nintendo, will include a game for the Wii U. <i>Mario Kart 8</i> will be released on May 30, 2014 in North America and will feature online multiplayer. The Nintendo website describes a new twist to the tracks: </span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #262626;">“<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Driving up a waterfall or across the ceiling can provide an intense adrenaline rush, but that&#8217;s not all anti-gravity is good for. It also provides a wild new gameplay mechanic: if you collide into other racers in zero-g, you&#8217;ll earn speed boosts worth bragging about.” </span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #262626;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Nintendo is including a perfect bragging venue with the brand new Mario Kart TV. This new feature will allow the players to upload their video highlights. Another surprise is all of Bowser&#8217;s seven minions are going to be playable characters. There is certainly going to be one of the top <em>Mario Kart</em> games if not the best one&#8230; but its up to you to decide. </span></span></span></p>
