I wish you guys would stop attacking every single person that criticizes anything related to Nintendo. Most likely Mario Kart on the Wii won't look much better than a gamecube game, which is the case with every game so far. Let them criticize. If you don't agree, so what? I listen to Wiik in review as well and those guys usually hype up Nintendo games. I don't always agree with ign or 1up podcasts but they are entertaining and informative.

 SMG and Brawl are much better than any GC game I've ever seen.

 It's UNFAIR criticism though...in the case of Brawl anyway, I haven't heard Mario Kart's.  They bashed the game without playing it all, and the point is they clearly didn't know what they were talking about..saying how they didn't "wavedash" and stuff because they didn't want to..besides the fact that A) they probably couldn't wavedash if they tried, and especially because B) you can't wavedash in Brawl.

The point is, this wiiks in review are done by a group that apparently doesn't know the most about their games and their audience.  Yeah, you can talk Mario Kart down and you can review Mario Kart down...but Mario Kart fans would like to hear something other than "graphics suck."  Mario Kart fans aren't huge on the graphics anyway...DD wasn't anything "revolutionary." 


I'm a huge Mario Kart fan and I'd like it to look better than DD. DD looked better than Mario Kart 64. The clips I've seen of Brawl do not look that good. However, I've only seem them on Xplay recently so those clips might not be representative of the final game...except I believe it was...but whatever. People hyped Galaxy's graphics even though it was only marginally better than sunshine (see gametrailers video comparison), so I'm not surprised when people hype up the graphics of any Nintendo game. The last Wiik in Review I listened to (i'm currently behind), they commented that the single player adventure portion was not that fun, but that the multiplayer was awesome. I'm not sure what they've said since, but the guy that commented said his opinion wasn't final because he hadn't completed it yet. That's a completely fair criticism. Just because they don't like certain aspects doesn't mean they don't like the game. However, if they don't like the game just state why you disagree. Why attack them and say they have no credibility? Oh, because they aren't hopeless Nintendo fanboys...I forgot. This crap happens every time 1up or ign says in a podcast they don't like any aspect of any Nintendo game. Edit: Just look at the title of the thread. It contains a needless exclamaton point as if this is such a big deal. Who cares if they aren't slurping the same stuff some of you are...the game isn't going to be any worse because of it.
