Wow-ee-wow-wow-wow! Ok, we can all admit, the mario kart series was getting kind of, well, stale. If nintendo would have just released a graphically updated version of MarioKart64, sad to say i would have passed it up. But yet again, Nintendo "changes" one of the strongest franchises, and I am sooo excited! Wow, look at those screens! Two person karts, in which one drives and the other throws the goodies! What a simple idea that makes the game so NEW. Of course the graphics do look awesome, but when we are talking Nintendo games, graphics are the last thing to worry about. None of us can see the gameplay (most important part of any game) from the pictures, but I don't think that is something to worry about. The thing we all need to start worrying about is, 7 other people to play with!! So for all of those peole saying "nintendo blew all their games they had in the past 3 months" uh ohhhhh, somebody's got yet another flood of games coming out! It feels great to own a Gamecube.
