  • Abstract:  Nintendo may not have a lot of street cred with the elitist "hardcore" gaming crowd but theres no denying that the Big N has established itself as a major force in the current generation of gaming.

  • Abstract:  If you’re a fan of Mario Kart – from the SNES era to GameCube’s Double-Dash and all those iterations in-between – you’ve already played Mario Kart Wii without actually realizing it. This reviewer was initially, and for many days after, severely disap...

  • Abstract:  For many of us, it's been over 15 years since we threw down our first banana peel, or sent our first turtle shell screaming towards the bumper of a go-kart. In 1992, when Nintendo released Super Mario Kart for the Super Nintendo, they arguably may hav...

  • Abstract:  One may wonder why Nintendo would add motorcycles and dirt bikes to the game series that popularized, if not invented, the genre of weapons-based go-kart racing. If youre one of the fans who balked at the inclusion of two-wheeled vehicles, a midair st...

  • Abstract:  If you thought the aroma wafting from Smash Bros.' warmed-over Wii appearance seemed stale, try a whiff of Mario Kart Wii -- it's so predictable that it's practically vintage. But don't think for a second that this latest iteration isn't still a stella...
