If I had a Wii U, Mario Kart would be the first game I would buy. Actually, it would probably be one of the only games I'd buy.

All the Nintendo consoles suck now IMHO. Wii, Wii U and the DS' series are rubbish. I miss the good consoles, like the SNES and N64. Now, they were fun.

MissPosted:

That game is so fun! I wish I still had a Wii so I can play this. If it's even released on Wii.

People still use the Wii? Wow i'm actually shocked for once? :o
