Mario Kart 8 Trailer

Nintendo has recently released the first Mario Kart 8 trailer and accompanying it is a new Wii U Developer Direct video.

Nintendo’s Mario Kart franchise comes to the Wii U console, for the first time in HD with a stunning 60-frames-per-second frame rate!

The racing game introduces new racing circuit designs and antigravity karts that will have players driving upside down. Players will also enjoy a variety of series-favorite features, including the return of 12-player online competitive play, hang-gliders, underwater racing and motorbikes.
