Nintendo's Diddy Kong Racing is the most anticipated title of the holiday season, and it will be hitting store shelves on November 24. But for those who can't wait to get a taste of the latest Rare title, you'll be able to rent it well before it's in stores. Blockbuster Video and Nintendo have teamed up for a promotion that will put DKR in the hands of gamers on November 10. Additionally, each time a player rents the game, he'll get a US$5-off coupon for the game, redeemable at any store that's selling it.
Plus, this Saturday Nintendo is setting up a special Nintendo arcade at the Mall of America featuring Diddy Kong Racing. Located in the Sears Court, players will get a chance to check out DKR in all its glory, two days before the game even hits Blockbuster locations, and a chance to enter special contests. It will be open from 11am to 2pm, so get there early and play often.
Finally, Nintendo will soon be opening a DKR web site to include hints, tips, and target times for each of the courses.
