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...

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

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

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.

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

The last two Mario Karts (Double Dash and DS) have been released almost simultaneously, with NA actually coming first with DS.

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

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 スト3 is a shortening for Street Fighter 3, then the blocking system is apparently changed.
