"MarioKart 64" is still one of my favorite games ever. It was fantastic. The courses were not too challenging, but not easy. The battle mode would kill dozens of hours at a time.
I got my hopes up for another fantastic game back when "MarioKart: Double Dash" was coming out — but my hopes were quickly dashed (pun intended). The problem was that instead of giving "MarioKart 64" a fresh coach of paint, Nintendo tried to re-create the game with two-man cars.
I held a grudge for a long time — but when Reggie Fils-Aime announced MarioKart for the Wii at this past summer's E3, my hopes soared again. I thought "OK, they've learned from their mistakes, this is going to be a return to greatness, and a reason to finally purchase a Wii!"
BUT then I read this on Kotaku today. Not only is the game pushed back to the spring, but the game will now feature bikes. BIKES! Tell me, how the heck is a bike a kart??? What happened to a return to greatness? What happened to learning from mistakes? I'm already sick today, this news has just put me over the edge, I need a nap.
Oh well, guess it's just me and my N64 for a while longer.
