I find it odd that Ninty is sending all these review copies so soon before the official release. Theres still 2 weeks to go. =(

I know the teasing is cruel, they need to give us a f*n demo at least.

Then go to Gamestop this weekend!

Battle mode was always something I skipped anyways.

Me, too. I played around 1 hour battle mode in my life and I have all MK games.

I spent like 8 hours with MKDS' battle mode! ._.


Of the 431 hours I've played MK7 for, only about 5 of those hours were spent on battle mode. :L

I was actually looking forward to MK8's battle mode as the anti-gravity likely would of made for some awesome arenas, but alas it just was not ment to be. =[

Yeah I most likely will, but just to watch.  Seeing its beauty live is enough for me, I won't touch those gross public controllers!

Oh come on now! You can't let that stop you from playing such an amazing game!

I enjoy a little bit of Battle every time I play Mario Kart so I'm disappointed it won't be good :( .

Carry around some hand sanitizer. I keep one on me all the time.

I don't understand complaints about the roster. It's by far the largest and most diverse in the series. The IGN reviewer's complaints are particularly baffling, as he criticizes the large collection of babies for being too similar to their non-baby counterparts, yet offers Dry Bones (literally a palette swap of the already-playable Koopa Troopa) as a suggested alternative. At least the babies are in a different weight class from their adult forms, meaning they handle differently.

This is sort of a recurring trend: people criticizing the character selection, but suggesting few good alternatives. The only major cuts from previous entries are Birdo, Diddy Kong, and Bowser Jr. I swear nobody cared one bit about these characters until they were taken away. 3-5 years ago I remember lots of complaints about Bowser Jr being overused and the Koopaligs being in need of a comeback. Now Jr is axed in favor of ALL SEVEN Koopa Kids and people are whining about Bowser's eighth subordinate being cut?

Gamers have the shortest memory spans I've ever seen. All these great newcomers and they find a way to be dissatisfied. I guess they forgot that last time around our newcomers were Honey Queen and Wiggler.
