Huge nintendo fan, i hope they release another mario kart my fav is still the super nintendo version, got to love those balloon battles lol a lot of people are slating the wii U. i understand peoples frustrations with the freezing issue mine done it 7times in one day, so i returend the system, im now wii-less but i will pick up a new system within the next couple of months when new manufactured models are released, i want to make sure that the freezing issues are properly resolved. but as a console i cant fault nintendo, they are so much fun, i love the old skool style games,this is the reason i purchased a wii U in the first place its completly differant to all other consoles..
