Yeah, I'm understanding that it's likely connected to the prevailing attitude that Nintendo has gone PopCap, but ... it's fucking EXCITE. I don't care what the hell I'm driving, so long as it involves me driving it through deforming terrain (which appears present) and scores me for doing crazy shit (appears it does).
What was everyone expecting? We know about this in plenty of time to purchase it; the casuals will either figure it out like they have with other games that received minimal advertising, yet still sold, or Nintendo will market it in their commercials and advertisements.
What's with the complaining about this particular title? That's my question.
