I'm sure this has been brought up before, but...Funky Kong? How delightfully random.

Weird that they didn't bring back R.O.B. I guess they don't want to overdo it?

R.O.B. is a lifeless uninspired character, good riddance.

I'm not saying I want ROB to be in the game, I just think it's odd.

They should of used Candy Kong and used her sex appeal to sell the game.

Then have Dixie Kong all slutted-out as an unlockable "clone" type character

Does this new mario kart commercial mean the end of "wii would like to play," for more traditional games at least?

I saw the commercial last night.  It's not a "Wii would like to play" ad.  Apparently Nintendo's going back to their incomprehensibly weird commercials now.

I never thought I'd miss the "Wii would like to play" ads.  I've just been proven wrong.

Understand? Yes.  Appreciate?  In this case, no.

Ok, this game is huge. Little disappointed about no 2-player GP, but just about everything else makes up for it.

Is anyone planning to be at the Nintendo World Store for this launch event on Saturday?  I'm actually in NYC so I plan to try and stop by.

Also, I'll go make Mario his friend code thread if it isn't already there.

Question for the people with the US version of the game, which way does the traffic go on Moonview Highway?

It should be an option to make blue shells the only item just as much as it should be an option to remove them altogether, a Smash-style item switch would be great. I think a race with only blue shells would completely change the strategy and would have people fighting to stay out of first place until that reverses toward the end of the game, and that sounds like it would be really fun.
