Mario Kart 8 will have a second-screen experience on smartphones, tablets and PC

9 May 2014

Nintendo has entered the second-screen experience arena with a smartphone app that will launch alongside Mario Kart 8.

The app, called “Mario Kart TV”, will let you view and share highlight reels as well as view leaderboards. The app will also work on PC, leading us to believe the smartphone app is more of a mobile site.

Due to that mobile site nature, the “app” should work on most smartphones and tablets from 31 May.

Mario Kart 8 is also available from 31 May. Those who buy and register the title before 31 July will receive 1 of 10 free Wii U titles.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
