This new GameWorks opened in 2014.

GameWorks Las Vegas in a Facebook Post last week announced that the Las Vegas location in Town Square will close permanently. The FB post will probably be delete eveutally so here’s what it said:

GameWorks Guests,
Thank you for the many years of memories! The past 20 months and counting we have seen our business turned upside down and the continued slow economic recovery has left us no choice other than to close.

Thank you for all the love over these past decades. We hope you remember us fondly and wish you all the best. July 1996- December 2021

A quick look at some of the new items and courses in the upcoming Mario Kart 8 for the Wii-U.

Dat Rainbow Road, Jimmy! Also, the piranha plant weapon looks cool. I'd really like to see some actual gameplay footage though, you know from the player perspective with HUD, etc. Who am I kidding, we'll still probably just play MK64.

I'll also make a quick comment below each video. For now, I'll like to start off by showing my first 7 uploads, ranging from June, all the way to September. I hope you enjoy these videos:
