Nintendo Australia is hosting an event that will give Nintendo fans the chance to come and compete at Mario Kart Wii. Not only that, but a few lucky guests might be lucky enough to be featured in an upcoming commercial for the game.

All that is required to enter is turn up at either of the following locations from April 9 - April 17.

Melbourne
The Nintendo Experience at EB Games 
67 Swanston Street
Melbourne, Victoria

Sydney 
EB Games
Broadway 76 – 81 Bay Street
Ultimo, New South Wales

The camera crews will be filming the action between 10:00am - 5:00 pm everyday. For the best chance to make the final cut of the commercial, make sure to bring a group of friends.

why would they be making a commercial for the game years after it was released?

If you marketing it, they will buy.

If you keep marketing it, they will keep buying it.


My guess is that NoAus realized that Mario Kart hasn't sold 1:1 for every Wii in AUS like it has everywhere else in the world and they won't receive their bonus if they don't rectify that issue.
