It’s Nintendo Switch’s birthday! To celebrate, GameStop is introducing the #NintendoSwitchChallenge – a fun (and a little wacky) way to play Mario Kart! We are totally a Switch family (in case you haven’t figured that out), so we had to try it out ourselves – check out our video below. It was such a blast to do, but please don’t laugh at me. Please. OK, fine. Go ahead and laugh (fun fact, I laughed at myself too).

Well now that you have watched mine, it is YOUR turn! That’s right, I am personally challenging YOU to film your race! And then I want you to post it all over social media. Don’t forget to tag @GameStop and use the hashtag #NintendoSwitchChallenge. They will giving away a bunch of awesome Switch accessories for fans who do the challenge. And be sure tag me (@MamasGeeky) too because I would love to see you also make a fool of yourself… I mean, I want to see how your race compares to mine!
