Mario has lost his voice
I've been playing the new Mario Kart Wii game that just came out. It's typical Maro Kart. Really great tracks, 16 old ones from other versions of the game and 16 new ones. The inclusion of motorbikes is a really nice addition and I love the quarter and half pipes that are on some of the tracks. Even the included wheel is fun to play with.
Online is very fun to play with too. After playing online XBox games for a while I though I'd miss any form of in-game communication I realize it's actually better without it. It's a racing game so it's not like anyone would have anything useful to say to any of the other players anyhow. You can race up to 12 players online. You can also do Time Trials against ghosts of other players. Trust me there are some really fast people out there.
The only thing about the game that seems to be off is the voices. Mario and a few of the other characters that actually speak seem to sound just like they should. For some reason characters like Bowser and Donkey Kong and a few others sound like there was a contest to send in most mediocre impersonation of these characters and someone whose never heard these characters before would pick the winner to be included in the game.
P.S. I still hate those darn Blue Shells that I keep getting blasted with whenever I wind up in first place

Haven't played it on the wii, but I remember that being one of the best games on SNES. It is rather annoying that in some games they skip some things thinking people won't care. It might be just a small thing, but it is something that will stand out. Never played it on the 64, but Diddy Kong was awesome. Like the blog! Keep working hard!
