Try Mario Kart 8 at GameStop on May 17-18

Crave a driving fix before the release of Mario Kart 8? The game will be available to try at GameStop stores across the US.

From 12 to 4pm (local time) on May 17th to 18th, the game will be playable at over 2,700 branches as part of a "Mario Kart 8 - Test Drive Days" promotion. There'll be a demo version to zip through, plus a double-sided poster for those who pre-order (or have pre-ordered) the Wii U game.

For a list of participating stores, visit the GameStop website.

Nintendo are also teaming up with GameStop to give fans the chance to win a Mario Kart 8 Wii U Deluxe Set or a $100 GameStop gift card by sharing a memory of the series at #MarioKartMemories

Are you planning to visit your local GameStop to try a copy of the game?
