'Racing runs in the family.' That's the only thing Nintendo have said about the new teaser posted on their socials, alongside a green heart (just to make things really obvious). They've tried to be sneaky with this one, with just enough of Luigi's kart, green overalls, and green hat to get us excited.

The 10-second-long teaser shows Mario looking surprised as a 'mysterious figure' skids up next to him. I mean, they obviously know we know it's Luigi, but they're just keeping us on tenterhooks until we see the full reveal.

The Mario set that's already out is made up of 1,972 pieces, so I can imagine that Luigi will come in around the same amount, sub 2,000 pieces. I can also imagine the official RRP being the same too - £149/$169.

At this point, I don't have any other information as to when it will drop or what the official price is, but I'll be sure to update you as and when I do!
