Remember when video games used to have commercials that weren’t super serious? Well Nintendo does, in fact if you look at Nintendo commercials across the board they’re generally light-hearted, fun filled affairs. These three new Mario Kart 8 commercials are no exception.
In a live-action setting, each commercial introduces players to a new mechanic featured in Mario Kart 8. First up in the Super Horn.
Next up is a look at the gravity-flipping upside down effect.
Finally, Nintendo gives us a look at the all new Boomerang Flower.
Come on, admit it. Even the most hardened and jaded of Nintendo detractors can’t help but crack a wide smile when watching these.
Mario Kart 8 will be available exclusively for Wii U on 30 May 2014.
