    Yesterday I went to Gamestop to pick up the new Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze. A Nintendo Representative was there during my visit and gave me some Super Mario 3D World promo cat ears. This is a first for me.

    Cat ears to promote a Mario game. Now I've seen it all.

    Dammit Japan...

    I think that only works if you put a sticker with an arbitrary number on it.

    I've heard the game is like all about cats. Haven't played it, cause I don't know anyone IRL with a Wii U.

    Not quite.
    (also: ESRB rating on the box)

    Murrica! Land of the nekos, home of the kawaii!

    ...you have to admit they paid attention to detail though. It's the Year Of Luigi, so they chose to give out Luigi-green ears instead of Mario-yellow ones. :encouragement:

    You can change into a cat suit in the game and its a large part of the game so i think thats why they are giving out the cat ears

    You're joking, but a few years from now... who knows. At the current rate, eventually Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt will sell for $40 billion.

    Anyway, that's pretty cool. I wish they gave out stuff like that more often.
