As the highly anticipated release of Mario Kart 7 draws closer, what better way to celebrate the game than by unveiling the new Mario Kart Nintendo 3DS cases which will be made available via GamingZap? These cases will be kept in stock only for the first week of December, meaning gamers who wish to get their hands on them might want to pre-order right away.
The Mario Kart Crystal Armour 3DS case kit is said to be similar to the Zelda 3DS case which was released by the company early this year. It fits firmly on the 3DS and sports a tough plastic shell with front cover artwork depicting Mario, Bowser and Luigi racing on their karts. Alternatively, the Mario Kart Universal DS hard case kit can be used with any Nintendo DS device covering the 3DS, DSi, DSi XL or DS Lite. It comes bundled with storage for six 3DS/DS games and two replacement styli.
Last in this range is the Mario Kart Nintendo 3DS pouch kit which is supposedly made from heard wearing and water-resistant neoprene. It also fits in all DS models, except for the DSi XL and is offered with a limited edition Mario Kart character stylus.
Mario Kart 7 is slated to be launched for the 3DS on December 2, 2011. Although being somewhat similar to the other games in the series, this title includes additional features like hang-gliding attachments for karts and the ability to drive underwater.
Like we said before, the Mario Kart Nintendo 3DS cases will be released for just a week in December this year and can currently be pre-ordered via GamingZap. While the Mario Kart Crystal Armour 3DS case kit retails for 12.95 Pounds (approx. Rs. 1,017), the Mario Kart Universal DS hard case kit can be purchased at 14.99 Pounds (approx. Rs.1,178). On the other hand, the Mario Kart Nintendo 3DS pouch kit sells at 14.95 Pounds (approx. Rs. 1,174).
