Gamespot Gives Mario Kart for the Wii an 8.5

One of their negatives is ” Nostalgia doesn’t save most of the classic courses from being boring.” Yeah, and Super Smash Brothers: Brawl got a 9.5 with just as many “nostalgic” arenas. Seems like they got a bit fan boy with the review for Brawl, and are redeeming themselves with Mario Kart.

Not surprising when the Wii is continuing to jump off the shelves. It seems the novelty has yet to wear off on Nintendo’s “Revolutionary” system. We’ll see how sales go with the dust starting to settle and the PS3 starting to get some of it’s flagship games finally out.
