Over 15 million units sold and this shocks you? If anything, I can't believe they are the only ones doing this...

I'm just saying...

Tim and I both agree that this is terrible.

Tease.

I think this looks like one of the better Mario Kart rip offs.

If you can't beat em', oversaturate em'.

Seems to be the general consensus regarding fitness titles on Wii doesn't it?

“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

There are worse things to rip off than Mario Kart.

But yeah, nothing new. We've already had everybody try this, including Sonic, Bomberman, Looney Tunes, Nick Toons, everybody. Apparently they think the reason Mario Kart sells is the all-star cast, and not the magical gameplay.

What EA should do is take all these games and cram them together into a giant MySims universe game where you party and race and do everything else.

MK has been ripped off since the Super MK came out. The imitators problem has been that they simply aren't as good games. The best imitations are on par with the worst MK games.

Diddy Kong Racing was a much MUCH better game in every single aspect.
