A launch event for the much anticipated Mario Kart Wii, has been announced. It will take place in Nintendo’s New York Rockefeller Plaza World Store. The news of a launch party isn’t anything new or exciting, mainly because most of us wont be there.

What might make you raise an eyebrow of this launch event is who is going to be there. Jason Priestly, the heart throb from 90210 will make an appearance at the event.

To people uninformed this might seem like an odd decision for a celebrity appearance, but Priestly is a racing enthusiast. He’s actually a former driver and analyst; he now owns his own racing team which plans to race in the Indianapolis 500. I’m sure we’ll hear more about it from his appearance at the launch party.

I Bet Priestly Is A Toad User
