I agree with most of your ideas, except I never liked the SNES Mario Kart; I was a fan of Mario Kart 64.I've been saying for a while that I wish Nintendo would make a Super Smash Kart, using characters like Link and Kirby rather than nobodies like Daisy and Waluigi. A track editor would also be huge. Do I expect any of this from Nintendo? No, because they know that they can release another Mario Kart that's just like all the old ones and everyone will still buy it.

Blue shells must go.
Do they help the user (usually in 5th or 8th place)? No
Do they make Mario kart more about luck than skill? Yes
It is unlikely that Nintendo will ever remove them but I want them banned with a capital B from online play.
I also expect to see CPUs not getting them so often ( In 150cc races I can get hit by up to 8 blue shells!).
I know that mario kart is now sadly aimed more at 4 year olds but blue shells will never help them when they use it.
Unavoidable weapons seem to ruin games for me.

I like blue shells. Let's say that you are playing against a friend and you both have been holding 1st and 2nd place for each race so far. You're on the last race, you screw up, and your friend is in 1st while you are stuck somewhere around 5th-8th. If your friend wins this last race, that's it for you. You won't be able to take first place over all. Then you get a blue shell and throw it at him. While he is made helpless because of the blue shell, 4 or 5 people pass him and now he can't possibly take first. Or let's say you're doing a team race and you and your friend are on the same team. Someone on the other team is very close to taking first place away from your team. So you fire off a blue shell (which only affects the other team in this situation) and that guy from the other team gets put far back from first place and your team is now safe to take first place. So, yes. They do help the user. Do they make Mario Kart more about luck than skill? Not really. If you know how to use it strategically, it can be a real game changer. Also, the blue shell is not unavoidable. I've dodged it many times.

[QUOTE=Snesfreak]I know everyone will want to mention this one but I'll say it now.

They don't even have to go, if Nintendo just gave us an item switch. Smash has one. What makes Mario Kart items so holy that we can't decide for ourselves which items we like? If Mario Kart Wii had an item switch I would have liked it a whole lot more.

If you want a track editor - why not buy Trackmania Wii? - I will bet the price of the game it will not have a track editor - anyone want to be the first to take me up for that?
My hope for this game is that Nintendo does not rush it to meet launch. My hope is that it has multiplayer, both online and off.
I know when I spend $40 on a 3DS game - why - I am going to get the best games possible!

Seems like a safe bet, seeing as how the launch is Sunday and NOBODY has even suggested it's coming out any time soon.

Or a lazy rehash.

Like Mario Kart DS...or Mario Kart Wii? Yes, those are rehashes... Lazy? I dunno, they were still fairly fun (not so much MK Wii, it just didn't do much for me...)

Just because it costs more and plays on a Nintendo piece of hardware doesn't guarantee it's worth two cents... That goes for any hardware/software company. They've all made/hosted turds.

Also I removed the stuff about iPhone games since it has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand.
