So Nintendo decided to send a free copy of the game to a number of Gamestop managers. Ours came in today, I promptly bought it off of my boss for $15 (4 or 5 days early, depending on shipping).

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

Game freaking rules, I'm overwhelmed. Tons of tracks, multiplayer is great (bot play in balloon vs!), download and play is alright but the downloader can only play Shy Guy. Several of the single player levels (not retro courses) remind me of older Mario games; namely there's one where the sun floats around and spits fire at you and in the back ground you can see the desert theme (Mario Bros. 3). Haven't had a chance to try out the WiFi (yes, the servers ARE up), I've ordered my router based on Nintendo's compatible list and am anxiously awaiting it. I might hit a hot-spot tomorrow and see if there's anybody worth playing.

Gonna go back and play it some more.

So good... So far it's shaping up to be my favorite Mario Kart.
