(No, not that way, mind out of the gutter!)

Credit// Shesez Thanks to the work of a YouTube quite literally breaking down boundaries in Mario Kart 8 levels, we've gotten a better look at just how detailed each track really is If the images do indeed show the size and scale of the levels, well, tracks like Ribbon Road are far more massive than we give[...]

Add this one to the vault of things Nintendo removed from their games as the latest Mario Kart 8 Deluxe update removes a hand gesture replaces a victory gesture Which one?

Inside every game of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, there's an options menu that talks about how to pull off all the mini-turbo moves you can do as you glide But even with that guide, it's kind of hard to successfully pull off that maneuver every single time Especially the new one with blue sparks Well,[...]

This guy took a Chevy Volt and rigged up an emulator with Mario Kart 64 inside to make it so that his physical car is responsible for everything Steering, power, weapon activation—the works Jalopnik went into greater depth with the mechanics and wiring of it all, but when you break it all down, the man[...]

Mario Kart 64 is a classic, and somehow, the game hasn't come to Wii U's virtual console The racing game was a staple of every Nintendo 64, so it is wild that Nintendo has never brought it to their legacy platform.

So we've all been out enjoying Mad Max: Fury Road right? It's great, no? If you still haven't seen it you should rectify that as soon as possible. The vehicular warfare is a key part of that world, but what happens if you mix it with another unfair, brutal vehicular combat property? Say something…like Nintendo's Mario[...]
