Not only does this pwn the PSP, it also beats the living **** out of Shadow Of The Colossus. In your face Sony! Mario Kart DS is being quoted by reveiwers as one of the best games ever!

damnit..between MK and AC, the choices

The killer app for PSP is GTA for the moment. Reviews have been pretty good, but still I wanna try it.

Nice score for MK. I'm gonna get it very very soon!

I'm sorry, but if your "killer app" is a racer, and one thats been reinvented 2-3 times previously (I lost count) for other platforms... you got problems.

Personally I'm waiting for Donkey Kong Badminton and Metroid Gin-Rummy.

I'm just curious.. why can't a racer be a killer app?

I mean you got Project Gotham Racing on Xbox and Gran Turismo on the Sony systems so I see racers as killer apps.

Heck, I can see any genre as a killer app.

And quite frankly on a game that averages a little more than 2 million sold per systems in North America alone, its a pretty big killer app.

And PSP's is GTA. Liberty City Stories is the 7th incarnation of the series, while this is Mario Kart's 5th (6th if include the arcade version few here will ever play). And could be argued that the original GTA, 2, and London 1969 don't count...but then again MK has been one to a system whereas we've had three GTAs in four years. And if your reason is that it's a racer and not because it's a sequel I guess Forza Motorsport and the Burnout series should also be ignored as "killer apps". *shrug*

EDIT: Argh. Four min late.

The DS is just barely a year old. People also called Nintendogs a killer app.

I think it's stupid to think of systems through just one game. The term "Killer app" only truly applied to Mario 64.

For the DS my killer app is going to be Animal Crossing.
