Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing, recently said that: “More than 1 million Wii U owners in the United States alone are already enjoying the fun of Mario Kart 8.”
“Mario Kart 8 already includes the largest number of characters, karts and options of any Mario Kart game to date, and these amazing expansion packs give players even more choices.”
