Mario Kart has dropped in Japan, with modest lines waiting to greet the next iteration of go-cart racing at the Shibuya Bic Camera. Supply didn’t seem to be a problem, with several large boxes still waiting to be emptied once the lines had subsided, which meant that everybody walked away happy.

Mario Kart certainly is a popular franchise, but it doesn’t seem like the kind of game that people will line up for on launch day. So how about you? Will you be waiting in line when it drops in America in a couple weeks?
