Picked-up Mario Kart 8 just in time to capitalise on the free game promotion; Wii U should arrive today; in the meantime, I played through a 50cc circuit on every Mario Kart game I own.

• Super Mario Kart was simplistic but still fun.
• Mario Kart 64 was just as good as I remembered.
• Mario Kart: Super Circuit was even better than I remembered.
• Mario Kart: Double Dash!! has aged incredibly well; probably my favourite of the bunch.

I haven't actually played Mario Kart DS, Wii, or 7, so I'm willing to bet 8's gonna feel kinda fresh.

P.S. Ghost Trick rules.
