Mario Kart Wii!!!!!!!

Mario Kart Wii is quite possibly one of the most entertaining games I have ever played. Granted, Mario Kart for the SNES was my favorite game growing up, but the Wii installment of the game rightly claims its position next to the other games. The intuitive driving system is phenomenal, and the callback to the classic levels is more that nostalgic. The only complaint I have about the game is the characters voices. Unfortunately, like in most Mario games, Mario sounds like a prepubescent Japanese school boy who has been kicked in the nuts by some kind of giant nut-kicking machine. Seriously, were the only people to audition for the voice of Mario Tiny Tim (the Ukulele player, not the kid) and Michael Jackson? Why couldn't Mario have been voiced by a man's man, like...um.....Bruce Campbell? Imagine Mario facing down a room full of Goombas, He turns towards the Goombas dramatically and states "It's a me, Mario, and this isa my Boomstick!" Blow away some Goombas...yeah....

They had it coming...
