      1. This is actually my second time. You can see him holding his breath in the SMG instruction manual. Or was it SM64? Fuzzy Wuzzy was a memory.
        As for the pic, it implies that, yes, the racers can’t breathe underwater. Does this mean that an oxygen meter will come into play?

    1. YES! I was just thinking this too. They we’re alright in Super Mario Kart, then they went all rainbow and generic looking from Mario Kart 64 (Guess we can exclude Super Circuit, though I’m not overly fond of those block either)

      I’d love to see the CLASSIC [ ? ] blocks as item boxes. I’d have thought that’d have done that by now… :(

    2. I actually kinda like the concept of keeping the item boxes the way they are. In all honesty, i mean its a classic, just like your regular average [ ? ] block in every single Mario game as your way of getting coins and items, among other things. Although, granted, yes, Super Mario World had the [ ! ] to get Shrooms and Feathers, the [ ? ] is still the classic. I actually, personally (and this is all just an honest personal opinion here) think changing the way you get items in regular Mario games, or in Mario Kart games would totally ruin it, because Mario is a classic, and has been a classic for 25 years.

    3. Drastically changing the appearance of shape of the item blocks would be like changing coins in Mario Bros. to marbles or pesos, or something other. It’s a staple of the series, and changing it would only be a disservice to fans.

  1. In the Official Nintendo Magazine post about this artwork they say his propeller and hub caps are green. GREEN! Please, someone confirm to me that I am not colour blind! :O

      1. Yeh, i think it’s the propeller blur. Yellow blends to green but that propeller is yellow for sure. It’s just the blur.

    1. Saddly. This game is launching on early december :(

      And more saddly, we need to wait till June 29th 2012 for Wii U :(

        1. Well, I’ve made wii u predictions on the Release date. June 29th is a Eu prediction. Take your time if you want to read, this was made in late July.

          Wii U release date predictions

          Nintendo said it’s after April 2012

          Sega said it’s ether spring or Summer 2012

          Nikkei says the system will be released in mid-2012

          Nintendo Said the release date and price will be announced in 2012

          My highest guesses on current rumors is just after E3 2012 (June 12-14), The release date is most likely late June. As Nintendo released Zelda OC 3DS just after E3, Nintendo may give the chance for more players to have a go on the Wii U just like with Zelda OC 3DS.

          Of course as of what happened with the 3DS launch, the 3DS was released in Europe two days earlier then USA. and about 27 days after the 3DS was released in Japan.

          With Nintendo every console launch through years, different regions got it quicker like with the NES when it was released in Japan, North america had to wait just over 2 years until the NES was released. then compare with the gamecube America got the gamecube 2 months after Japan, then with the Wii, Europe got the Wii 6 days after Japan. but then compare with the 3DS.

          As of the Dsi Australia got it a day before Europe, and the same with the Wii, and Australia got the DS lite before Europe, this was of 2006 and 2009. The Dsi XL however was released in Europe first then Australia last, and same thing happened with the 3Ds. since 2010 Europe got the consoles before Australia.

          Australia got the Wii remote plus before Europe and with the Wii being released before Europe. There is a chance the Wii U could be released in Australia before Europe. Home consoles maybe different on release dates to hand held.

          Europe mostly gets nintendo consoles before North america these days. Because of this Europe may get the Wii U a week after Japan launch and North america is most likely to get the Wii U after Europe. As nintendo and sony are based in Japan, the consoles are released there first, and Microsoft are based in USA, America get the Xbox first. and Australia got the 3DS last, but they got the Wii before Europe by a day.

          In Europe games and consoles are almost always released on Fridays.

          Japan will almost certainly get the Wii U first

          Australia could get the Wii U before Europe

          North America will almost certainly get the Wii U after Europe

          Console may be released after E3 2012 so Gamers get another chance to use the Wii U

          The best predictions for release dates

          Japan: 23rd June 2012

          Europe: 29th June 2012

          North America: 1st July 2012

          Australia: 28th June 2012

  2. Another eShop Fail week. Great to see DSi games, but you know, when Nintendo thought it necessary, or chose not to fix the issue of limited DSi space, it was just another slap in the face.

    “Enjoy that 3DS! You can transfer and play DSi games, but the Mighty 3DS can only hold a few… We’re not adjusting the file, the firmware or anything to help you store more DSi games.

    We will keep you on life-support, with ONE, 3D classic… But only once in a while… We don’t think our 3D technology is worth actually having Software for… Just enjoy your AR games and Camera like a good Nintendo fan.

    … PS, that Legend of Zelda 4 swords you’re enjoying? Ha. Just ate a chunk of your limited DSi storage on that 3DS of yours…. MWAHAHAHAHA.* (fictitious dialog of how I feel Nintendo is treating 3DS owners)

    1. “what about oot?, what about all the good games coming down the pike? Be patient, give it time.”

      4 fucking 3D classics (which I am happy for) but it’s not fucking enough.

      eShop can leave my ambassador games with me, then go to hell.

      1. You seem pretty mad. All the cussing and stuff.
        my advice: relax and go outside, make friends, and before you know it…all the great 3ds games will be here!

  3. Darn you slow passing of time! I will be a happy person come December! Is it December yet…..?
    How ’bout now…….?
    Now?
    COME ON!

    1. A few things:
      1.) His name is Sickr, not “sockr.”
      2.) This post is grossly off-topic.
      3.) The link you provided has nothing to do with what you mentioned.
      4.) You fail at the English language.
      5.) You fail at life.

      Have a good day
      —Fortitude

      1. 1) the ‘o’ was an accident, the ‘i’ is right next to the ‘o’ on my touch screen so calm down captain-save-a-hoe and get off sickr’s dick
        2) grossly oftopic would be if i brought up monster trucks. This is a nintendo website, and i have no way off contacting sickr other than through hete so stop eggxagerating you drama queen.
        3) the link is a mobile link, excuse me for adding a mobile link to the mobile formatted version of MNN.
        4) failed at the english language? thumbs up! you still have a little penis in the end.

        the reason i added a youtube link was because i didnt want to ‘advertise’ another nintendo news site.

        1. Just post that hacking crap on a SSB related post please because neither us nor sickr gives a crao oh sorry the o is right next to the p on my touch screen
