Nostalgia. The 2d Game Mario which I played much growing up because I’m an advance in aged and it was regular lunch break habits, the Mario and Princess and Super Mario Bros. was the thing of my younger years.
Mario Kart Wii has been named the best-selling individual format game of 2008 in the UK by ELSPA/GFK. They also credit Nintendo with driving sales during the year, along with multiformat publishers Activision Blizzard, Rockstar and LucasArts. Mario Kart Wii was released in April 2008 and has remained in the top ten ever since.

I got a chance to played and absolutely love it. The Wii controller is a lot harder to get a handle on than the more classic Nintendo controllers for Mario Kart. Well Mario Kart & Sonic at the Olympic Games (on both Wii and DS) was fourth and Wii Fit was fifth. Amazing. Go Mario!
