Well Mario Kart Wii launches today in the US. I love the Mario Kart games a ton with the exception of Double Dash on Cube. I haven’t played Mario Kart Wii yet myself, but my brother has had a pre-order on it which I will probably scrounge off of so I can see what I think before thinking about getting my own copy. I’ve seen a lot of reviews for Mario Kart Wii, and they seem to list some pretty believable complaints, mainly about stuff for catering to the “Casual Gamer” crowd. I can’t confidently say if the game I love has remained in tact.
Hopefully it’s unchanged, and maybe those complaints are minor, but it’s so hard to tell. Sometime in the not so distant future I’ll probably come back and post on what I found while playing my bro’s copy. Not so much a review, more like a scouting party for those who are unsure like me.
The whole issue with Super Smash Bros. Brawl being basically unplayable online (most the time) for me still has also got me a little cautious, although I haven’t seen or heard anything bad about the online portion that relates to lag like Brawl does.
In the mean time! Those of you who have the game already I’d like to hear what you have to say!
