GameStop has had some pretty amazing rewards in the past, but this one leaves all the others in the dust. Thanks to Nintendo of America, GameStop had a contest to win two life-sized Mario Karts. These two karts are completely drivable, and look just like the karts from Mario Kart 7. Nathanial Stehley (above) was one of the two lucky winners of this epic reward, and the kart was presented at his home in Clarksville, Tennessee. This masterpiece (made by West Coast Customs) is one thing I would love to have in my garage! What do you think? -Greg Boe (admin) (more…)

Who’s your favorite Mario Kart character? -Greg Boe (admin)

In the latest issue of Nintendo Power Magazine, the NP crew revealed some new features in Mario Kart 7 for 3DS, including two new characters.
