Just got this e-mail from Nintendo of Canada. IIRC, it was *announced* before, but this is the first time there has been full details shown.

MARIO KART 8 THIS WEEK ON THE NO. 20 TOYOTA: Turn Your Racing Experience Upside Down! For the first time in HD, Nintendo’s Mario Kart franchise comes to the Wii U console, introducing new racing circuit designs and anti-gravity karts that will have players driving upside down and along walls. 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.

RACE INFO: The History 300 at Charlotte Motor Speedway begins at 2:45 p.m. ET on Saturday, May 24th. The race will be broadcast on ABC, SiriusXM channel 90, and PRN Radio.

From the cockpit:

Matt Kenseth: “I like going back to Charlotte and running the Nationwide Series race. I made my first series start there a long time ago, so it’s always been a special track for me and it’s always fun to go back there and compete. It’s been a few weeks since I’ve been in this No. 20 car, but I’m looking forward to getting back to work with these guys because I think that Kevin (Kidd) and the guys have done a great job already this season. JGR (Joe Gibbs Racing) has a great performance record at Charlotte as well, so I’m looking forward to good things from our GameStop team this weekend.”
