Mario Kart 7

Nintendo will launch their Mario Kart 7 Britain’s Fastest Family competition this weekend, seeing families across the country compete to win a new Honda Jazz Si, limited edition Mario Kart 7 trophy, and other incredible prizes.

Set to run across England, Scotland and Wales, the regional heats will take place at thirty selected HMV store games departments during August, including London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Cardiff and Glasgow.

Those with the fastest times from each regional will gain a seat at the grand finale in October to attempt to win the coveted prizes.

“The power of games can best be seen when you bring them to life and create some retail theatre around them in your stores so that customers can see and experience just how wonderful they are,” comments Ewan Pinder, HMV Head of Technology & Games. “So we’re really excited to be partnering with Nintendo to showcase Mario Kart 7 as part of their Britain’s Fastest Family Tournament.”

Nintendo UK events and partnerships manager, Natasha Chatur, adds: “We are really excited to be going on the road with our biggest family gaming tournament this summer. The Mario Kart games are loved by fans across all generations and it is fantastic to see families come together to compete to become Britain’s Fastest Family. We look forward to working with HMV to bring the Mario Kart franchise to life this summer and offer our fans up and down the country a chance to engage and compete as a family.”
