How was it horrible?
Zelda Dynasty Warriors type game.
Funky Kong item shop in DKCR.
Rosalina in Smash Bros.
NES Remix and Dr. Luigi for eShop.
Sweet Mario Kart trailer to go with the sweet SB reveal trailer.
What was not to like? What were you hoping for? Star Fox, F-Zero, or some other game they may or may not be making? Just curious.
Me personally, this is the first (console) Mario Kart that actually has me excited since Mario Kart 64. The portable ones have always been good, but in this man's opinion, Double Dash was garbage, and while Wii had some things going for it, the unbalanced nature of the items and bikes, along with the face-palm worthy lack of regular "Free for all" Battle Mode, still make it frustrating and underwhelming. This is the first MK game in a long time that REALLY seems like the series has finally taken a much needed leap. The track designs actually look imaginative and awesome. The inclusion of baby characters I still personally think is a waste of roster space, but I can accept it seeing as how the bikes no longer have the bullshit wheelie advantage. Hopefully the items are more balanced this time, and hopefully REAL battle mode is back (they can keep Team Battle also, it's neat, but I want the real thing). If they can do that, and make sure I can play as my boy Shy Guy? I'll be a happy camper come this Spring.
