@MrArcade Actually I am also a huge Nintendo fan (been such eversince the NES) but even I can see how this game will be better than mario kart 7. not just with graphics but because there's no real game limit to the weapons and characters. all mario kart chars have shown up one way or another with mario involved. but here. some characters may not have any connection. like Sonic with ulala or aiai with B.D.Joe. I'm still waiting for the 3DS version but I can tell it's gonna be super fun ^^
