I just find it odd that Mario Kart is slated to come out so soon after Super Smash Bros. Brawl (at least in North America). SSBB is such a huge game, and Mario Kart would be pretty big too, that they ought to be spaced out a little more apart.
I guess it's a one-two punch to go up against whatever PS3 and Xbox 360 bundles are coming out this spring. If not, expect delays...
(I'm listening to SSBB music right now, of the Mario Kart remixes. o_0 Awesome timing.)
I've never been good at Mario Kart. I don't know if I'll pick this up. The one day I ever played online in Mario Kart DS was against Revned and someone else (was it osrevad?), and I sure got my butt kicked! I'm not so much of a fan that I have to pick up every one... I only have Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart DS - and I probably sold Super Mario Kart - though I did at least play each one.
So there's animals and bikes now? I haven't been keeping up with the news...

Anyway, I just preordered it so I'll have the pain and suffering of getting it delivered on release day - while I'm at work and can't play.

It seems local multiplayer is a little lacking due to tracks being designed more for 12-player online multiplayer, the motorbikes are a bit tricky to get used to, and the wheel is a polarising opinion, but it's pretty much everything you'd hope for.

I said 6 days for Japan and 7 days for Europe and 23 days for Australia, instead of 7 and 8 and 24 respectively, because it's more or less April 4th in those regions, however it's still April 3rd for North America, so it's still 21 dasy left...

It's not fair that you can quote little snippets. Everyone else has to quote entire messages :-(
I saw a couple other people doing it.What I do is that I quote the message, then I go back in and edit the message to crop out the parts I didn't need to quote.
Of course, it's also unfair that I can have silent edits. :P

It's fun so far. The wheel is kind of hard to get used to, but then I never played it on a system with analogue controls.

is it REALLY that hard Maxim? I've gotten Gold in all 50cc, 100cc and 150cc except Special Cup (in 150cc that is) ... then I've got another 8 in Mirror Mode to do... which if it's the same as Double Dash.... is even HARDER than 150cc ... because the players rape you even more... yeah, I said rape, because that's what it feels like... because some of them actually manage to constantly side-bash you about ten times in a row and if you move that just somehow go into you... and don't you just hate it when you're quite far in the lead, and you slip on a little banana, and then suddenly you're 12th? And that's not because of the banana, it's because after you slipped, a red shell hits you... then a blue spiny shell.... then.... someone with invincibility knocks you... and THEN you're blasted over the edge by a Bullet Bill... <_<
You know the only thing I can thank being hit by a red shell for is say... you're about a second from the finish line then you're blasted by a blue spiny shell... and you see the 2nd player catching up fast... just before he over takes you... he shoots a red shell, which hits you... and blasts you over the finish line ... that did happen to me once <_<

Australian players should start appearing online this evening, since they live in the future.

Also, I suck at this game (barely holding my score above 5000 online) but I keep playing because it's fun. That ought to count for a lot.
