I would not be surprised by the repackaging of old titles. Nor would I be surprised by the full price. Finally I wouldn't be surprised if the Nintendo fans on these forums blindly supported the practice. I got heavily mauled for saying that doing so was a shitty practice by a third party developer, and they deserved to get a dog crap review for doing so. I was actually standing up for the Nintendo owners getting a fair shake, but you would have thought I had raped one of their family members.

Can you actually be so hard up as to defend a ten year old port that has no definitive changes beyond a tacked on control scheme. Obviously you can, and that really boggles the imagination. I am all for retro gaming, and being able to sample the games from consoles past. I however am not for paying full price for what you can get by rummaging through a discount bin.

Now i'm just angry. How does Gamesradar do this, and retain any shred of legitimacy?

It's funny.

And I, a long time Nintendo fan, expect it to happen. Shouldn't that be worrying Nintendo's marketing department?

It was funny until they implied that Mario Kart Wii was a bad game.

They didn't say that it was bad, but that it was a "phoned-in sequel". Which it was. You can't really change up Mario Kart.....

So double the numbe of tracks as other Mario Karts, tons of characters, tons of different karts, the addition of bikes, and the addition of online is "phoned-in"?

If Mario Kart is "phoned-in", then so is every other game this generation.

You could say the same of Madden. They add new character and a few new features.

Online play is a standard. The inclusion should be expected.

The only big change I see in MKWii is the bikes. They play differently, while only slightly, and it helps mix things up.

They're criticizing it for the same reason people do sports game. They just add more of what exists and a new game mode. Although, we games like this, you can't change Mario Kart too much.

I could say the same of every sequel this generation if you put it like that.

I know. I'm not to justify their claims. Just offering a different point of view.

The new play control titles are $30, not full price.

The scary thing is that this list has got me more excited than everything they have announced already. To know that their show is going to focus on casual games one again already ruined it for me. Never going to trust on their word again.

What is more amusing than the article is the Wii defenders who cannot even laugh at it.

Articles like this should stay light-hearted, silly, and way out in left field.

Taking stealth jabs at one of the most popular games is not the way to do that.

The problem is tone, and the tone was similar to that of the umpteen Nintendo-bashing articles we find all the time.

@theRepublic

That is still about fifteen dollars too much in my opinion.
