So I played Mario Kart Wii U yesterday. Its so much better than the Wii version, this is the Mario Kart I know. MK Wii was so dull and childish (as in 6 years and under), at least that is how I felt about it. This one is fast and competitive.

This game is great but the formula has been used for so long, it really feels like you are playing Mario 64 on steroids. That is not a bad thing but I guess people will be feeling they have played this game many times before.


@Retrogamer0001

I think Nintendo going multiplatform will more than cover their hardware profit. I have always heard consoles were sold at a loss any way. Mario Kart on Wii sold 34 million! If they just let Mario Kart go multiplatform it will be enough to cover whatever Nintendo makes off hardware!

If you are worried that multi-platform will hurt portable hardware sales, 3DS, then I can see your point because those are selling like crazy.

Yes, and I am now embarrassed that I do not know the difference between suppose and supposedly.

English is tricky and it's not your first language, I wouldn't be too embarrassed by it. Suppose in your sentence could be replaced with "imagine." Whereas "supposedly" is past tense, so when you say it that way, you are possibly either saying that they were going to be or were exclusives.

That is the most believable one yet, except no mention of Nintendo Skylanders...

Some people do that. Especially if they travel poorly. I use to work with a guy who would travel a week early because he got violently ill. So he would travel, be sick in the hotel room a couple days, then be fine for the conference.
