As a fan of Burnout myself, I see your point. You have to understand Nintendo though. They don't innovate very often but when they do, it's a big f'ing innovation. Mario Kart has sort of trudged along on it's path because it never had to translate from 2D to 3D, since the original used that itty bitty 3D emulating chip in the SNES. Metroid, Zelda and Mario made the transition with amazing results, and those games are widely considered to be the biggest innovations of those series since their inceptions into gamedom. Mario Kart will not benefit from that, so expect more minor changes. On the other hand, you are looking at a very polished product, and I believe it will be worth the asking price, coming from a fellow Burnout fan.
