Just under a week remains until Mario Kart 7 gets released stateside for the Nintendo 3DS. Content is slowly being released to the net, and this time, the Disney Channel held a commercial to announce that Mario Kart 7 is a proud sponsor of the Disney channel. That's kind of interesting, to say the least. I'm so stoked to get my copy whenever Amazon decides to ship it out. Sadly, my estimated delivery is Tuesday of next week. Can't bother with that as I have two finals next week. Yay! Video footage after the jump....

To be honest, I saw this a while ago on my first playthrough of Skyward Sword and when it was brought to the internet's attention, but I really didn't think much of it. Yay, hey Titanic reference! Apparently people are quite interested in this sort of stuff however, so I'll revert back to my job of informing. This nice little tidbit can be found in the Captain's Cabin on the Lanayru Sand Sea. Aligning the walls are pictures of the Captain, his crew and their ship, with one picture of the crew that is a nice tribute to the famous Titanic image pictured on the left. Come on inside for the full video, courtesy of Nintendo Daily.org, for a closer look with "My Heart Will Go On" playing over the top. Smooth......

So, in case people haven't noticed, November is almost over and the firmware Nintendo had spoken about for the Nintendo 3DS isn't here yet. Well, obviously it has been delayed.

You can check out the latest page inside....

Well, probably if Nintendo Europe is being truthful. There isn't any detail on how the game is two player, but my guess is that there might be a few mini games in which you have to suck up more ghosts than your friend. Either that, or something along those lines. The Nintendo website for Europe has it listed for 1-2 players under its description. The game still doesn't have a release date, but I know I'm not the only one eager to start catching ghosts. Luigi is my favorite of the two brothers, and even if he's a bit of a scaredy cat, he's still a green cladded hero! What sort of multiplayer would you like to see in this game?
