Super Mario Hot Wheels
Back in July, we learned that some new Super Mario Hot Wheels cars were on the way. Unlike the first batch, which were simply existing cars with a Super Mario dressing, those new Hot Wheels vehicles are brand new. They’re based on Super Mario characters: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Toad, and even Yoshi.
Here’s a “video” showcasing the cars:

Wii U games price drop (North America)
If you live in North America, you can now get the following games for $29.99:
- Yoshi’s Woolly World
- Mario Party 10
- Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
This price drop has already taken effect on the Nintendo eShop, and at some retailers like BestBuy and Toys ‘R Us. It looks like this price drop is due to the release of the amiibo bundles in a few weeks.
Thanks Richie for the heads up!
