On the topic of Mario Kart, what if they reinvented the series by rebranding it as Nintendo Kart?

I think adding Link, Samus, Kirby, etc. as racers and using those games to create all new courses and power ups would really spice up the series.

One of the best things about the Smash Bros. games is that it represents so much of Nintendo's history - bringing that to the Kart series could really give it a shot in the arm.

Is it just me or is the slowdown REALLY bad in this game?  I remember it being a frequent thing in NES games, but never to this degree.  I just tried defeating the 2nd Dark Master in the Spark Man level (I believe it's Quick Man?) using the Snake Search weapon and between all the snakes and Quick Man's boomerangs, the entire battle was in slow motion.

I'm playing on 3DS, so I'm not sure if this was always a problem with the original cart or if it's an emulation issue.

Do you think Nintendo should actively try to fix these problems when they release older games on the virtual console or would you rather play the games exactly like you remember them, warts and all?
