To use jb\'s term, why should we have to settle for something \"solid\", this is MK for fucks sake. Why?, because this is what Nintendo have started to do, they only push in the directions where they see profit now and good reason. As far as Nintendo were concerned they did enough with this title as you see it. That is troubling, when I see this game I cannot see the evidence of them striving to create a special game in the same way you can see it in Brawl and Galaxy. It\'s just another version of MK that will sell well across the board due to the changes they have made, one\'s that mean even more so leveling of the field.
Linkyshinks, do you not see the fact that despite you as an educated consumer know that this game will be under par, yet you are still buying it! Ok, same ole mario kart and what not, but to be honest most people don\'t really care! Not the massess anyway, and thats who Nintendo are appealing to now.
They might not be putting as much effort into developing this game as past iterations simply because they knew people would buy it regardless.
However, i guess that comment would go for Galaxy and Brawl anyway as most people probs would have bought them either way.
I have to say that i just placed a pre-order myself, not looking like the best mario kart ever but i did enjoy DD, don\'t know why everyone hated it as much as they did. Not the best in the series but by no mean is it a bad game! Multiplayer with 4 people is well funny. Shame the blue shell ruins all.
I doubt i\'ll be using the Wii Wheel in this as well, seems like a pointless add on if you ask me, but it is a marketing ploy so i can understand from Nintendo\'s view point. I\'ll probs try all controller settings, most likely stick with the cube one though.

First off Brawl especially and Galaxy are top draw, Brawl has production values that are quite simply astonishing!. They are certainly not underpar games that should be linked to this game made by a second string team.
I think they were obviously working on a much bigger game in their eyes in order to be distracted from a franchise like this. As well as wanting to attract the expanded audience.. This is what MK has become, they no longer see it as the title it once was and have created a game well tuned for the family.
Of course I am buying it, it\'s Mario Kart!, it\'s not a terrible game just very very underwhelming for some fans. I was expecting so much more, that\'s the reason why I bought Brawl on import, because Mario Kart is a weak consolation for it in my eyes.
I wanted a fresh new game a fully fledged Wii game dripping with the highest quality art and graphics Nintendo had at their disposal. I did not want another rehash!, with a weak online component that lacks vital selections in Battle Mode. I will still be happy to buy it because MK\'s core formula will still be there and the game will be fun online, for the most part. The Channel I must say is looking pretty nifty, not even reviewers have had a chance to try it out.
I hear ONM reviewed it and gave the game a 90% without even having access to the online component. Nintendo have said it is not functional yet.
