I liked DD. 
I'm a bit hesitant with regards to MKW since the reaction to it so far is mixed at best. The lack of multiplayer GP play is bullshit.
Yes, but you do play through a sequence of tracks that you choose, with your friends, with all the CPU characters still on the track, and rank up/down, complete with the same style of ending you'd get when you complete a cup in single player, so it's not that bad. You could simply play all four tracks on one cup and it would be the exact same thing as playing single player.
Besides, fuck all that shit...online or offline multi is where it's at. There is nothing better than racing with a full track of other human players.
mario kart super circuit 
everything after has been catshite
Yes. MK Wii is the first one since the GBA version that I have enjoyed. I still think the SNES version was the best though.
What is the Koopa Cape, is it like the Feather?
Haven't even seen this yet!
In regards to items, the online and versus matches I played last night had very, very few POWs appear, and even fewer blue shells. It only felt like an overkill when I was playing single player match races.
why do you keep calling it "wii wii"
So it's essentially the same shit right?
You're going to stick to the motion controls?
Yeah, basically. I want to find out what it's like to use a pad and then I'll see. But it's fun using the motion controls...feels like a nice cross between the arcade Mario Kart(s) and Excite Truck. I remember reading that you can't do some stuff(?) with this set-up, but what? Tricks on the bikes? I dunno...nothing feels like it's missing.
Also auto drift is perfect for "casuals." My wife was getting within the top five (even a few first places!) on her first time playing, and she has never played a single Mario Kart game before. Give someone a Wiimote slapped into the wheel and they're gonna love this.
