lol lol lol 16 mbit is dead slow:)

^ I will probably have 25Mbit later on this year. 2-3MB yield is pretty good for downloading content, especially if you can start the game before its fully downloaded. 1 hour to download a full game is pretty comparable for me in going out to actually buy a game from a store.

Whats up with so many nintendo trolls downplaying microsofts E3 conference. At least they announce games every year, and not every 2 years. Yeah, we get it, to you MGS, Forza 3, Crackdown 2, Halo Reach, Left 4 Dead 2 aren't megatons and they might be predictable, but the point is.. does it matter? you're all getting hyped for the same mario, zelda, or anything nintendo has rehashed for the same 20 years, if that isn't predictable then i don't know what is. So a new Halo game isn't a megaton, but a new Zelda or Mario is? Stop with your silly bias, and GTFO to you nintendo heaven pls, i'm happy that microsoft makes games for me, the hardcore player.

I questioned that too, then I thought about the mainstream appeal of Mario Kart this gen and it made sense. =/

^ That was exactly my reaction. I played their tower defense game and it was really fun. The fact that the game is free says something at least, if its good and it doesn't cost money then absolutely no complaints here!

Yeah, you guys are probably right, but those graphics looked like doodoo.  It also sounded like there will be a lot of microtransactions involved.  Avatar support is neat though.  Free is definitely a plus as well.

Theres no complaints from me, I don't really see how better graphics would add to the game in any way. Its really arcadey and the visual clarity is something I appreciated a lot looking at that.

Yeah I wonder how must you get for free? Like only 2 cars and 1 track?

Quit busting my balls man. :)

Mario Kart Wii doesn't appeal only to the mainstream, and really what's wrong with it? As I recall it, many people in this board even like playing the wheel and say it's more fun, even if it doesn't reach the exact precision of an analog stick (though you can get pretty close, the control is solid and you can zig zag around nearby items if you're used to it).
