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*.

To be fair, neither KOTOR nor Battlefront really qualify as "unfinished stories" in the way that Shenmue does.

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.

Have you watched G4 recently?
I tried to sit through the Free Running World Championship, but the commercials in between the segments were like a full five minutes!

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.

WINterfang: Man, I hated Sega when they dropped the Dreamcast back in 2001. I was drinking the haterade way before it was cool.

(Actually, it was pretty cool back then too. I stand corrected.)

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.

I'll buy this the day of it's release if a playable "character" is the Daytona USA Gallop car.....I'll settle for the Castrol Celica from Sega Rally :)

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.

It's not like he hasn't driven before. Remember Sonic Drift on the Game Gear?

Oh yeah, probably not.

I still think that the best zombie driving game will forever be the seventh mission in the Simpsons: Hit and Run. God that game rocked.
