The number one reason I may buy a Wii

...Mario Kart, details of which were announced today.

This is a great game. I have a special place in my heart for racing games, but driving around as a cartoon character, throwing bananas and what-not at opponents and trying to avoid falling off the Rainbow bridge can't be beat (and is a lot of fun irrespective of your current level of intoxication).

...that, and it brings back memories of the three months I spent editing a low-budget film in Ireland. Those were the days.
