My boyfriend's brother got it. I played it the other day. It's Mario Kart - it's fun, it's entertaining and it has good track design. But, I'm finding myself jaded to it and I couldn't get too excited about playing it. I played one Grand Prix and that was enough for me.

But despite my personal views, I'm not surprised this is selling and will probably help get the Wii U off the ground, along with the new Smash when that comes out later this year.

I have a Wii U but I won't be getting it. I don't like racing games and I don't like Mario games. Putting them together just makes my stomach turn. I am glad that it's selling well though. Nintendo was about due for some positive news, and hopefully this will help generate some more Wii U sales.

I would love to get it, but I don't have a Wii U yet. It looks fun as all get out, and I hear the soundtrack is amazing (I tend to love Mario Kart music anyway, but I'm hearing particularly good things about this one).

I do remember the soundtrack was pretty good, from what I played/watched the other day, so in that respect, you won't be disappointed, Bragatyr.
