Personally, if I was a couple of thousand miles east, I’d be opting for this preorder. But for those of us who can’t get hold of the special Mario Kart 8 preorder cards – Nintendo still have something for us in the form of Club Nintendo Europes rather shiny Premium Super Mario Playing Cards which you can pick up for 3000 star points (those same ones had previously been available in the USA too).
Looking forward to seeing what they’ll get over in the U.S, I expect I’ll be strutting along in my Bullet Bill T-Shirt thinking I’m the shizz before a U.S Mario Kart 8 owner drives past in the free life size Mario Kart he/she acquired with his/her pre-order, spits at me and drives off laughing 🙂
