Mario Kart 7 Power Slides into New Trailer

Take another look at one of the 3DS' most anticipated upcoming releases.

There used to be an embeded media player here, but it doesn't work anymore. We blame the Tumbeasts.

There are myriad high-profile titles releasing next month. That isn’t any surprise to any gamer who’s on the ball this year, and shouldn’t be to anyone who has gamed in any of the last, I don’t know, like, bajillion years. In a bit of a rarity, though, there are actually a couple of high-profile releases in December. Who knew?

One of them is Nintendo’s Mario Kart 7. Aside from begging you to do your part and preorder (Seriously kids, Hiroshi Yamauchi’s stocks have not been doing well; he really needs your money more than you do.), the trailer also shows off the usual cast of racers along with some of the game’s 16 new tracks. Fans of banana warfare can also look forward to 16 remastered classic tracks, underwater racing, hang gliding karts, online play, and holding on to another wacky Nintendo accessory while using motion controls.

The Big N’s portable kart racer will release on December 4th in North America.
