Mario Kart with a gimmick? Please explain. Gliders and going underwater are about as gimmicky as picking up powerups while driving around a race track on a cart.

I was going to retort that it was no more gimmicky than Bikes (and really only as gimmicky as "tricks"), but yours made even more sense

That's what you guys got out of that? Really? I mean, that was hardly the point of the post. Did you just miss the general purpose and sentiment of the post, or were you trying to distract from it?

Wii sales nosedived a few years ago. 3DS sales are far below Nintendo's expectations. There isn't much excitement about Wii U. This means the EXISTING FANS are not happy about Nintendo's products or direction.

4 years since the last all new fitness game. No larger action game built around the Wii Sports mechanics, at all. 5 years since NSMB DS, and no 2D Mario in sight for 3DS just yet. Several years since Nintendo abandoned the very successful direction of "non-games" like the many which followed up Brain Age. One Mario Kart per console cannot sell every console. That's the problem.
