    Well when you think about it, Brawl got delayed over and over, hence getting pushed back close to Kart's release, which as far as I know, hasn't had the same happen to it.

    Wow, this is my reason for wanting a Wii, now I have to track one down. honestly, from a PR standpoint, it's not a bad idea for it to come out right after Brawl. It's nice for Wii folks to say the ol' "I can't afford all the games coming out at once." Normally, you can save a penny a day and have enough to buy the next big game on Wii by the time it comes out.

    I live in the UK and I got it today and all I can say is that it is absolutely brillant. Some of the tracks are really good. I've been playing it all day long.

    When I reserved Brawl, I got a gift card at Circuit City.

    Do you know any places that has some sort of "freebie" for reserving Mario Kart? I'll definetly get the game, but a freebie is icing on the cake.

    A life-size kart would be awesome, complete with Blue Shells to take out that slow guy at the front of the line on the freeway.

    It some places over here you got a little slot-racer type thing. Mario, Luigi, Bowser, DK, Wario or Yoshi.

    Personally, Im still waiting for friggin' Brawl. Mario Kart isn't a priority right now.

    The online Mario Kart play is amazing. Its great to be able to race against other people who are playing to win just like yourself.

    It's still derivative party game bullshit, but they got the damn motion controls down, the wheel works great.

    I can honestly say i've been playing Brawl more than Mariokart. That's not to say it's not a good game but i hate the pow block item and the blue shell, i really do hate the pow block. I hope in the next version they bring out you can decide that items are available.

    There is a way to stop the POW block, you shake your remote as it hits and it takes away your item (as usual) but you don't get stopped for long.

    Anyway, I've only got 5 more character to unlock WOOHOO!!

    I watched the 2-hour non-stop playthrough of all the tracks on 150cc and they were tearing his ass up with powerups non-stop. Blooper, Thunterbolt, thunderbolt, bullet bill, shell, thunderbolt....

    I hope that they release more tracks in the future, they were on the right track with classic tracks all the way back to the SNES game. I would pay monies for more tracks even if they are recycled bullcrap.
