Good Mario Kart date, which means the localized version should be out before the Summer...

Fatal Frame coming out sooner than expected is also a nice surprise...

Wow...I expected Mario Kart to be a fall release.

I wonder what Nintendo has planned for that, then. Wii Music?

Wastes hours checking old Famitsu software data, but that's why we love him.
How could MH3 be undated when it was never dated to begin with?

That's all? o_O

It always updates over time as the news is released.

Why is this a disappointment if we don't know the main content though? Anyway, I'm happy to see that Mario Kart release date, hopefully it'll hit PAL by years end. Also Project Zero by Spring next year? Hope so! It'll give me time to beat all the games I've only got halfway through :lol

April 04 in Japan means Fall 08 NA?

I'd be surprised if it was that big of a gap between the releases. Nintendo is usually really good at launching games in Japan and the US within a reasonable time frame.
 

VOOK

We don't know why he keeps buying PAL, either.

That's not surprising. It's just a rehash of double dash, without the double, right?

Half the game = Twice the fun?

I don't really care if it's a rehash honestly, I haven't owned a Mario Kart since 64 and that was too much of an awesome multiplayer experience for me to keep ignoring. Plus, having not own Double Dash it'll be new enough to me :D

I thought the Mario Kart part was a score too and laughed.

:lol How did anyone think this?

Are these new questions stored on the Wii, or what? Also, would this be considered the first downloadable content for a retail game for the Wii?

This my not be of much use, but if &#12473;&#12488;3 is a shortening for Street Fighter 3, then the blocking system is apparently changed.

Also, what the hell is &#12473;&#12497;&#12452;&#12473;?
