It's a bit foolish on my part but i haven't reserved a copy for myself but i'm just hoping the same old trend of interest but not enough to warrent a sell out down here.

Especially seeing as i'm having to do this on trade ins as i don't have any money at the moment heh.

Yep, got this one reserved. :D I was surprised when I found out it was coming out so quickly after Brawl. I dunno what I think of that wheel thing though. :\

The tracks look pretty cool, though I'm a bit disappointed by the Retro tracks they picked. Don't get me wrong, they picked a couple of fantastic ones, like DK Mountain and the N64 Bowser's Castle, but I would've loved to have seen Waluigi Pinball, Koopa Beach, Tick-Tock Clock, or Airship Fortress. Ah well, it'll still be a great game. XD

Yeah not a thing at all. The last time i heard it was hinted at September or something absurd like that. Fair enough we've got Mario Kart first (second if you want to be picky) but at least there's an announced release date for America >_>;

Anyway we've got some new info here:
