LOL, fake Iron Man looks better than the "real" Iron Man my kids got to meet today!

I'm taking my little brother out tomorr... wait, later today to get it   

It came out on the 24th here in Australia. About time we get a release before you yanks.

I've played it and I'd have to say its one of the better Mario Karts in recent times. Although I will admit that Mario Kart 64 is still superior when it comes to how the items worked.

For example, the homing red koopa shells would only home in indefinately regardless of where you were on the track if you were in 5th or lower place. If you were in the top 4 you could only get someone with them if they were in line-of-sight. That and the spiny shell used to knock you out but still give you some slight forward momentum which meant if you were almost over the finish line you still won. Compare that to the hair-pulling flying purple shell. Things like that may seem small but they make a big difference.

Buying my copy today

Time to start trading 'Friend Codes'? 

I need to get work done on PM2008, but yeah, I'll probably be picking up my copy today   Blasted tempation.

I'm headed out to the store when it opens in a few hours to grab my copy 

Yes friend codes! This game seems to play very well on WFC so I'm eager to challenge anyone to a race or two.

 

I will post mine here when I can be bothered to boot up my Wii tomorrow (its currently 2am here).

Man, I need to get a Wii....I'm not a big gamer, but I remember enjoying Mario Kart the handful of times I got to play it.

Definitely need to consider getting one.
