i got an email from gamestop saying that they started taking pre-orders for them....about 8 hours later i just stop by for the hell of it...ask, and i get one. one minute later they get a email to tell them to stop doing pre-orders....i was the last one EVER to get on hahaha!!!

I remember how hard it was to get the Wii for a full year....so im not taking a chance with this one lol

Arrives with the "aim" of changing the "landscape" of games...that is horrible parallelism.

How about, arrives with the proverbial lawnmower that will change the landscape of games... or

arrives with the aim of changing the range of games...

Looking Ahead: The Lingering Questions About the Next Mario Kart

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "10 years. It’s been almost 10 years since the last mainline release in the Mario Kart series. Mario Kart 8 came out for the Wii U in 2014 and became the best-selling game for the system by a sizeable margin, and later pulled the same magic trick on the Nintendo Switch under the stage name Deluxe. All in all, it's sold nearly 70 million copies over the last decade and is still selling like hot cakes to this day, so it’s no wonder Nintendo has been in no rush to replace it. However, with rumors of a new system being just around the corner, and reports a few years back that a new Mario Kart is indeed under way, it seems the era of 8 might very well be drawing to a close. It’s an exciting prospect to be sure, but after two Nintendo systems with Mario Kart 8 at their heart, a lot of questions remain about how Nintendo will choose to follow it up."

I hope they just keep building on Mario Kart 8; Add a track-creation tool, and probably open it up to more Nintendo IPs with new tracks and characters, so Metroid, Punch Out, Starfox, Animal Crossing, etc etc.
