Essential purchase for the weekend. I must say, after the eventful year the 3DS has had I wasn't really excited for this to begin with. The speed in which it was announced and its fast release date left me wondering if the series was in trouble, or at the risk of getting stale.
Initially looking like a blend of both Mario Kart DS (love) and Mario Kart Wii (not so), I'm glad to see it has progressed to have an identity of its own. We had the chance to play it for a little while at the Eurogamer Expo in September, and it felt sharp, just like the DS version before. Sorted.
