That's like 10 minutes before the game is out...

I'll just wait.

If you're in the US, you can try it out at your nearest GameStop this weekend. Call ahead to see if your local shop is participating though.

Holy crap, the Best Buy 10 minutes away from me is doing this.

I hope this means they'll have the Smash demo there too so I don't have to got to Dartmouth.

 

[LeGourmand]

I'm gonna show up to my local BestBuy, can't say no to free Karting session! And tryout the game, maybe

Sorry, did a search for Mario Kart, so I didn't see your thread

Woah Nintendo, finally. You do something on a day where i already have a babysitter booked for. I'll look forward to playing mario kart.

I'm claiming one of the trophies from Calgary. If you've got a problem with that, I'll see you there.

I just tried out the demo in Kingston. There was hardly anyone there, just a few people ahead of me and a few people behind me, so played the demo twice. I played the Electrodome in single player and Sweet Sweet Canyon in multiplayer. Feels very smooth and responsive, even in multiplayer. I managed to bump-boost off other karts a few times. I think that's a really clever new mechanic, because it takes skill to pull off as best as possible. I wanted to play a little more, but I have some errands to do. On my way out, I picked up a lanyard, keychain, stickers, and a voucher for 15 minutes free on the go-kart track at Kingston Family Funworld. Good times.
