Mario Kart DS Anticipation Thread

[nips]

Thank God the hop>powerslide is back; I don't care what anyone says, I reckon MK64 has the best handling out of the lot...

N64 has the best hop, powerslide, imho, but I really struggle to see how the digtial DS pad can match the 64 pad. It looks like a great game, though! I've seen so many vids, and there is little more that I can ask for.

I'm so excited, though. This is the most exciting thread for me atm. It's the first one I go to in this whole forum.

The PAL is released on the 25th isn't? Sod waiting for that!

Prefer US boxes anyway.

Totally! I refuse to buy PAL versions, the boxes feel cheap and flimsy and you don't get the artwork on the spine.

Just noticed Movietyme have the US version up to preorder at ?23 all in, bargain!

Anyone know if you can chat to friends when connected to WiFi ?
A pictochat style would be cool before and after a race, there is a way to tell if your friends are online or not though isn't there ?

How quick do you think delivery would be from VG+ ?

Ordered, nice find!

Can't wait for this now! By the way, the official site is now up and running properly.

I wonder if the cover on MovieTyme is the real US one? I hope not, I loved the mario leaping into the cart on a white background design that did the rounds recently.

That said I'll be buying the US version anyway. Not waiting for PAL and the boxes are too bulky.

Some great videos to see here! Some of the movies show the classic SNES tracks, with classic SNES music! Wonderful stuff.

If this game is less than great then people must die.

Never been let down by VG+ so hopefully this will be the same.

Would be very cool if it arrived before the weekend tho!

I haven't either, but there's always a first time.

My order is sitting at the pending stage currently, how I wish you could fast forward time :P
