Snagged an early copy of Mario Kart DS

[Jason1]

I might try my local best buy tomorrow night. I didnt pre-order. Hopefully that wont be a big problem...

Well I've finished first in every grand prix from 50-150cc (both Nitro and Retro), just finished Mirror 150cc in first place on the Retro cups, and am working towards first place on the Nitro Cups.

The secret characters are alright, particularly Rob. But I'm still favoring Yoshi in the Cucumber Kart quite a bit.

Anyway, who got it today?

Gonna go pick it up now...3 mile walk...each way...don't wanna pay bus fare...would have paid shipping online if that was the case...

EDIT: Screw it. Took the bus. Got my game. I feel like a junkie in the need of a fix.

Awesome!

I'm all done now; unlocked everything I think (gonna finish up Mission Mode to make sure there's nothing I missed). Rob is definitely my favorite racer now that I've unlocked all of the karts. Once you've unlocked everything you can couple heavy drivers with light carts for all the benefits of being heavy (knocking people around, high overall speed) and none of the downsides (good acceleration, good steering).

Definitely enjoying it a lot more now that everything's unlocked. I can hardly wait to get online and "pwn some n00bs."

Argh one more day ARGH

What's worse is I'm doing the ONE MORE DAY thing all over again! I already did it on Sunday!

ARGH!

Maybe I'll call EB and double-check the 16th release date.

EDIT:

OH **** LADIES THEY HAVE IT IN THEY'LL SELL ONE TO ME YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

It seems to be forever searching for opponents for online play...

EDIT: Had my first online match. Was first for most of it...see finish line...then blue shell...then shrunk...came in 3rd...*sigh* gonna unlock all the tracks before I do anymore online play methinks.

Special thank you goes out to Dyne. His post gave me the motivation to make the risky trek. Imagine how disappointed I would've been if they weren't selling yet?

OMFG! ZOMG! This is the most ****ing insane, amazing game ever! Everyone buy a copy with your parent's credit card ASAP!!!

Epilogue: Yesterday I bought GTA: LCS to wash away my sorrows of the MK delay. D'oh! But hey, it's an awesome game too. What a great week!
