I remember when this game came out, I went to a GAME launch event (I wanted the free goodie bag LOL). I was expecting the game to be good but it totally blew me away, easily my favourite game ever.
I'm so kicking myself , I spent 3000 stars on the Mario kart 8 Soundtrack about 2 weeks ago. I knew I should have waited to see if they would do something like this. I've got no more stars left now. Guess I'm off to ebay.
Although I have enjoyed every Mario Kart game. Double Dash is my least favourite (although Super Circuit is a close second).
To me Double Dash feels like a failed experiment. The two in a kart gimmick, feels tacked on and almost lazy. It seemed like this was just a way of giving us more items to use/steal, (dressed up as tactical kart picking); please don’t even mention that extra item space. What Mario kart game doesn’t give us new items, why do it this way, out of the changes Nintendo could have made, why make this one? Maybe I just never got it.
I'm not against change (although I did miss the drafting and hopping). I was really looking forward to see what this version of Mario Kart would bring. I was expecting something new; (fair enough we did get two extra battle mode games and the LAN multiplayer). Nintendo could have easily made a challenge mode like they later did on Mario Kart DS or a story mode like on F-Zero GX. Nintendo could have even added the bikes back then but no we got two in a kart instead. It just made the game feel slightly less like Mario Kart to me. Unfortunately on top of this, I wasn't that impressed with the courses, although I do love DK Mountain .
Overall, despite all this I did have a lot of fun with this game; especially in multiplayer.
I love Treasure games .
It's funny, the thing I remember the most about this game is Leda. I could never work out what she was supposed to be. I think I settled with a dog, a cat or possibly a small dragon .
I Remember getting this for Christmas with Wave Race Blue Storm and a black GameCube. I had briefly played Super Smash Bros. but I was more into Power Stone and Power Stone 2. (Although I never thought Super Smash Bros. was bad). However Super Smash Bros. Melee soon became one of my favorite games. I remember thinking who on earth were Marth and Roy and I used to spend ages reading all the trophy descriptions and learning loads of new things. I like the newer Smash games but none drew me in as much as this one.

Re: A 'Big' Nintendo Announcement is Coming on Monday
I wonder what they mean by 'big' ?. Personally I would like it to be more MK 8 DLC or a new Metroid.

Re: Review: Super Mario Maker (Wii U)
I'm so looking forward to this, glad it's reviewing well .
Super Mario Bros. was the first game that I owned and the first game I completed; can't believe it's been 30 years already.
