And now, a little journey through the pitfalls of product placement.
First came the ad, which was pretty cool. Super Mario, not in a Kart, but a GLA.
Then Mercedes launched a website -
https://www.go-gla.jp/gla_mario/
A link you're probably clicking right now in heady anticipation of the 8-bit browser-based gaming delights in store...
Just a brochure though innit.
But don't worry, say Nintendo, you'll be able to download a GLA when Mario Kart 8 is released this summer!
Fuck em, they ruined it.
