* 'Mario Kart Wii'! 2 hour video preview!
Artemus | 1:11 AM on 04.10.2008 6 comments


While I swig on a Newcastle, I present to you my first DESTRUCTOID blog. Please, be gentle...



A website out there has a ridiculous two hour video of all 32 courses in Mario Kart Wii! While this may be a preview for most Mario Kart fans, it may be a spoiler for many! Or it may just piss off the naysayers even more!

No, I didn't watch the entire damn two hour video! Are you freakin' kidding me. That's a little much! I have better things to do tonight... Like drink a tasty beverage and blog my reaction to the reactions to it!

Sadly, it seems some people aren't exactly thrilled with this entry in the classic go-kart racing series. Am I thrilled? No... I'm fucking ecstatic!

Whether you're excited or not, Mario Kart Wii is almost upon us!

The original SNES game is a classic and will always have a special spot in the video game section of my heart.

I've been a super, heavily-addicted fanatic of the series since the first game was released in 1992. My friends and I would play hundreds of marathon battle mode matches in a single sitting. Hours of fun! After the last match, the world around us would appear to be in permanent Mode 7! Memories... Sigh. The memories... Gotta love it! I know you do. Care to share?

Listen, every Mario Kart has been an evolution from the previous one, not a revolution. That's alright. If Nintendo kept everything the same, people would bitch. When Nintendo changes things... The same people bitch. Please, stop the bitching people! Learn to enjoy instead. It's much more fun.

Play it. Love it. Or leave it.

Things change. Things evolve. Get used to it. You name it, things change... People. Food. Movies. Cars. Video game systems and every subsequent Mario Kart released.

Yet, once you get used to the differences, every game is a solid, multiplayer "go-kart" racing classic. From Mario Kart 64 to Mario Kart Arcade GP, the series is a gold cup trophy winner!



I'm hyper-excited for this entry to the series! I have an advent calendar ready and I'm counting down the damn days, baby! April 27... Would you please hurry tha hell up!

Lets'a go! Wahoo!

Mario Kart fans unite!

See you online April 27!

*(Psst... Hey! You... Yeah, you - Don' even ask about the Wii Wheel. The jury is deliberating on that one and will decide its fate on April 27. Also, the ridiculous video can be found compliments of 'wiinintendo.net'.)*

After reading some initial reviews I'm a little apprehensive. I'm getting it regardless, but I'm not touching that stupid wheel.

Where is this two hour video?

 about me



Life is my hobby. Video games are my life.

I enjoy many other things, but that's not important here... We're here for the love of video games, dammit!

I've been a loyal, addicted member of Destructoid since March of 2008.
Thank you Niero! Helluva site, man!

I've been a hardcore gamer since I received a N.E.S. Christmas of 1987. Can't believe it's been that long! I don't believe I'll ever stop playing video games.

Systems and games come and go, but one thing remains... A great game will never, eeeeever be forgotten.

**Currently(November 2009), I'm busy as hell with:

*New Super Mario Bros. Wii - I've been dreaming of a new 2D side-scrolling Super Mario Bros. console game to come out for years and so far this game has surpassed each and every one of my wishes. It truly is one solid Nintendo Mario platforming Miyamoto masterpiece.

*Excitebike: World Rally - An unexpected blast from the past! I'll never, ever forget that theme music! Ever.

*Mario Kart DS - Dry Bones in the Dry Bomber! Possibly one of the best Mario Kart games in the storied franchise. It's damn near perfect... Do you snake?!

*Donkey Kong(Arcade) - Every Monday, after a delicious Philly Cheese Steak, my friend Eric and I play this at a local arcade/game store(Phoenix Games). We're training hard to one day defeat the greats that are Mitchell and Wiebe. By the way, if you haven't seen The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters you are doing yourself a great deal of injustice. Go out and rent it. Now. Go.



**Games I can't wait for:
-Castlevania the Adventure Rebirth
-Super Mario Galaxy 2
-Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles
-Dark Void
-God of War III
-Castlevania: Lords of Shadow
-Heavy Rain

Hit me up, so we can exchange lame, super ridiculous Nintendo Wii "codes" and play some Brawl or Kart.
Then witness Luigi kick your Nintendo fanboy ass all over the screen, junior! After you tire of Luigi beating tha living hell out of you we can exchange cool, created levels. You can then go practice your pathetic ways and seek revenge.
