[release][B]NINTENDO has built two real-life vehicles from the game Mario Kart 7, which launches on December 4 on the 3DS, the portable game system that displays games in 3D.[/b]
With the help of West Coast Customs, the auto body shop known for its television show [I]Pimp My Ride[/I] on MTV, Nintendo was able to create replicas of the classic Mario Kart and Luigi Bumble V Kart.As in the game, Mario's shiny red go-cart comes complete with a glider attachment for flying and Luigi's cart is tricked out with a rear propeller for underwater navigation.[IMG]http://resources3.news.com.au/images/2011/11/21/1226200/893199-mario-kart.gif[/IMG]
The carts will be on display at [URL="http://www.news.com.au/technology/gallery-e6frflwi-1226198278360"]the LA Auto Show[/URL] from November 18 to 27 at the Los Angeles Convention Centre, but there is a contest for a chance to bring one home via GameStop's PowerUp Rewards program.

Early next year, an episode of [I]Inside West Coast Customs [/I]will show how the vehicles became a reality.

Supercharged aluminum LS7

Fuck that.
Strap rocket boosters to them.
Would fit the universe well too. :v:
funny because no one in the pictures is looking at them
They should stop doing useless shit like this and actually make a console and games that don't suck dick.

Most of nintendo's games are fine. Only the wii and 3ds (and probably wii u) have really been bad consoles.
do they have a special race track for people to ride these karts at? with lava and shit?

Nintendo's losing it.
Better hope they realize that they need something better than the Wii U to actually get back in the game, instead of riding on the hopes and dreams of their fans.

The only thing wrong with this generation of Nintendo consoles is lacking third-party support. Nintendo's own [i]games[/i] are still excellent, and anyone who says otherwise hasn't really played them. I've seen a lot of people dismiss all of Nintendo's current-gen games just because they looked like 'rehashes' or looked 'gimmicky'. Those seem to be the two magical words when it comes to claiming Nintendo hasn't tried hard enough this gen. If it's an addition to an existing franchise, it's a rehash. If it's something that's actually trying something new, it's gimmicky.
Financially, though, the Wii and DS were top sellers throughout this entire generation. Nintendo had a very successful run with these, so they are by no means failures. Nintendo's not losing anything.

I agree, and the Wii actually sold almost twice as many units as the PS3 and Xbox 360 combined
Agree. Nintendos franchises are still beautiful games.
Whats wrong with the 3DS? I have one and I love it.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword score on metacritic: 95/100
Super Mario 3D Land score: 89/100
Yeah, totally games that "suck dick".
Man...I wish I could drive one of those karts...
christ people, have any of you actually used a 3ds?
its a mighty fine system if you know what to get
[editline]21st November 2011[/editline]
plus a nyko battery life extender

The console isn't bad, they just released it WAY before their good titles so it has kind of faded into obscurity since there hasn't really been anything to play on it.

Its not original after 20 people do it before you.

Two games? Impressive, they should try to create a new series as well, having the same 4-5 is not helping their rep.

Yeah let me totally disregard factual evidence and just jab at the people who liked the games
let me provide an equivalent rebuttal:
Half-Life 2 sucked and anyone who enjoys games by valve is a fanboy
This is what you are saying
nice to see them spending their remaining money on THIS POINTLESS SHIT
[editline]22nd November 2011[/editline]
FUCK

well you have to keep a loyal fanbase somehow
not anymore, they're more poor than ethiopians now
[QUOTE=Password;33380163]not anymore, they're more poor than ethiopians now[/QUOTE]
i beg to differ
the wii did superb, the ds did superb, there were awesome games for both systems, in fact, imo the wii is more worth it than the ps3 or xbox 360, and the 3ds is a minor blunder by an otherwise great company
