After the release of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze next week, Nintendo’s next big release for the Wii U is Mario Kart 8 in May. As a result, they decided to show off a brand new trailer during today’s Nintendo Direct, which not only gave us the long awaited release date, but also the introduction of not one, not two, but seven new racers.
The aforementioned new racers are the Koopalings, also known as the Koopa Kids: Iggy, Larry, Lemmy, Ludwig, Morton, Roy, and Wendy. The brand new trailers shows off each of them in action that you can see in the trailer below.
We learned recently that Mario Kart would be arriving in May, but following the trailer, Satoru Iwata revealed the exact release date, May 30.
