Mario Kart 8 New Trailer, Screenshots, Wii U Bundle Info and FREE Game Promo!
One month from today, Mario Kart 8 will be driving players wild with anti-gravity racing action. To get people revved up for the Wii U game, Nintendo released a new Nintendo Direct video that announced some additional news nuggets, including a Mario Kart 8 Wii U bundle, a free downloadable game offer for Wii U owners who buy Mario Kart 8, details about online features, cool new characters and devastating new items.
Trailer:
Some of the new information announced today included:
Mario Kart 8 Wii U Bundle: People who don’t yet own a Wii U system will find it easy to get in on the action. On May 30, Nintendo is releasing the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Set bundle that includes a Wii U Deluxe Set system, a Mario Kart 8 game, a red Mario Wii Wheel accessory and a red Mario Wii Remote Plus controller, all at a suggested retail price of just $349.99.
Get a Free Digital Game: People who buy Mario Kart 8 and register the game with Club Nintendo before July 31 will receive a free Nintendo eShop download code for an additional Wii U game. Players can grow their Wii U digital game collections by choosing from one of these well-received Wii U games: New Super Mario Bros. U, Pikmin 3, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD or Wii Party U. That’s a two-for-one deal featuring some of the all-time great Wii U games. This offer also applies to people who get the game in the Mario Kart 8 bundle or digitally in the Nintendo eShop.
Online Multiplayer: Up to 12 players can race together online in four different multiplayer modes, as long as everyone has a broadband Internet connection. Like to trash-talk your friends while you’re preparing for a race? You’re in luck! Mario Kart 8 lets players chat with one another in the lobby area using the Wii U GamePad microphone or text phrases as they wait for their friends to join. Players also can create public or private tournaments for which they specify the day of the week, the time and the rules. Per tradition, players will be able to race against ghost data from friends or even the top 10 worldwide racers. They can try to beat them or just pick up a few tips and tricks from studying the best. If you beat the development team’s ghosts, you’ll get cool stamps for use in Miiverse posts.
Mario Kart TV: As previously announced, players can watch their highlight racing reels, rewind them, play them in slow motion or upload them to Miiverse. They can watch the world’s most popular highlight reels and comment on them. But players with Google accounts can also upload their reels directly to their YouTube channels.
New Items: Items are what make Mario Kart games so balanced. No matter how skilled racers are, they’re just a blue Spiny Shell away from disaster. A well-timed item can also turn defeat into victory in an instant. The new Super Horn blows away all other items – literally. Sounding the Super Horn issues forth a sonic shock wave that blasts away everything in the vicinity, including other drivers, Red Shells and even blue Spiny Shells. It’s a potent asset, especially for drivers trying to maintain their lead. Mario Kart 8 also introduces the Crazy Eight, a swirl of eight different items that lucky players can use one by one.
New Racers: Two new playable female characters make their debut appearances in Mario Kart 8. New heavyweight driver Pink Gold Peach glows with a golden light and makes a nice counterpart to Metal Mario. Baby Rosalina shows up for a play date with other Baby characters. As in past Mario Kart games, players can again choose to play as their Mii characters, which rounds out the field of racers to an even 30.
Mario Kart 8 is now available for pre-order at major retailers throughout Canada. A deposit may be required for pre-orders. See individual retailers for details. For more information about Mario Kart 8, visit http://mariokart8.nintendo.com.

Evolve is a 4 V1 Co-Op shooter in which one person plays as a Giant hulking monster and the other 4 play as a team tracking him down and attempting to kill him. It looks like one hell of a great time.
In this new interactive trailer you can click to anyone’s perspective while watching to see how the game unfolds from the variety of viewpoints, and I must say, take a look, as this looks like a BLAST!
Here are some new screenshots of this wicked looking game as well to help wet your whistle.

Helix Renewed for Season 2!
This morning, on the eve of the season 1 finale, Syfy has announced that they are renewing Helix for a season 2.
The Sci-Fi drama premiered on Jan 10 2014, and blew up the network with its mix of drama, suspense, visceral visuals, and some genuinely great performances from the cast. This all helped to create a show that the fans really connected with, even going as far as to creating a #RenewHelix movement on Twitter and other social networks, in hopes of seeing this show have another season.
The show, which was set in the Arctic, follows a team of scientists and support people from the CDC, sent to a research facility to investigate a mysterious virus outbreak, staring Billy Campbell, Kyra Zagorsky, Hiroyuki Sanada, and Mark Ghanime, turned out to be a huge hit for the SyFy network. The premiere episode opened to over 1.8 million viewers and grew by 65% in L+3 DVR returns to end at over 2.8 million viewers as well as shattering network records for the friday timeslot. Helix then went on to average 2.1 million viewers per episode. Bill McGoldrick, EVP Original Content stated that “Helix has built one of our most loyal and consistent audiences in its first season on Syfy, the incredibly talented writing and producing team have crafted a thriller that consistently delivered suspense, twists and high quality drama.”
I know I have been following the show every week, and it is honestly the best show on television right now, it managed to suck me in and hasn’t let me go. It is a wild ride and I can’t wait to see more of it in the future. I also really hope that they decide to bring back the existing characters from season one, especially fan favorite Sergio Balleseros (played by Mark Ghanime) as I can’t help but feel there is so much more to this character, and it would be fantastic to see him fleshed out in a second season.
So if you haven’t watched this fantastic show yet, what are you waiting for? Go now and enjoy it knowing that there is another season on the way!
