I agree, I wasn't big on double dash's concept. I really liked Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart DS, Mario Kart Wii, and Mario Kart 7. I am really looking forward to MK8 which looks awesome and has a lot of potential for online competitive play.

The other games I'm looking forward to are X, Hyrule Warriors, Smash Bros, Zelda Wii U, and last but not least, Final Fantasy XV.
