You can't hurt me, Joystiq. I'm used to companies not finishing franchises. Shenmue, KotOR, Battlefront, it's all happened already. I don't care anymore. *sniff*.

Is this because of the constant ads? Or just /off topic?

They probably pay an ad agency, who didn't see the conflict in it.

You're an idiot.
Mario Kart doesn't take games outside the mario license like Super Smash Bros did.
They should put Link/Zelda, Kirby, Samus, etc in it.

Right. Because Valkyria Chronicles was a crapfest, and Condemned was a crapfest, and Bayonetta...

How sweet of you to ignore all other Sega games to make your point... BTW, only Valkyria Chronicles was made by Sega. There is a slight, but critical distinction.
Their track record is awful collectively and their spin-offs have been even worse. This might be ok in the end and I'm all for hoping for the best out of every game made, but you can't blame everyone for not having faith in the meantime with their collective history.

This game is getting me more and more interested.
Hoping we see some third party characters.
And like other's have said why hasn't nintendo done something like this?
Rather than mario kart why not something like Super Smash Bros Kart
(Shitty name I know just go with it) would be cool to be racing as samus agaisn't mario, link and other Nintendo charcaters.

Because they know you'll pay for it without involving all the other characters.
...and it'd get rid of all the "Mario" feel that everyone loves of the Kart series.

Looks interesting but I'll wait for a review or maybe rent it next year. Still if Sega has DLC like characters from its other franchises like maybe Streets of Rage, Nights, Vectorman, Golden Axe, etc even third party companies like Namco's Pacman would be cool.

I would love to play as Jack from Sega's Madworld, I thought the racing segment of that game was awesome but hugely under developed.

Sonic has a car because he likes the sense of Competition.

Because people in the higher-ups debated about this...
People originally wanted Sonic to have no car, but... I forgot who it was, complained that it would be unfair.
Not sure in which direction he meant that, but I see it as: If you can bump other characters with your car... bumping into Sonic would just mean running him over.
