If they show the second internet movie (The one where it shoes you the characters, but starts with F-Zero AC), and they advertise on Sky One, C4, BBC1, ITV and some movie channels, then this Christmas will belong to Ninty.

I meant realistic as in modern day engine tuning and crap like that.

Burnout 2 is about as serious as I go.

I don't count F-Zero, because its all fututristic, and therefore far more fun because you don't have to look at boring tracksides or cities as you go really rather fast. And it looks incredible.

Personally I think F Zero GX could do a hell of a lot for Nintendo this Christmas.

MK 64 was a true classic.

It rewarded skill, that makes a classic.

It's all about Wario Stadium and lagging behind to get the lightning, then on the final lap, zapping them as they get to the jump!

Unless someone gets a ghost.

Oh the hours of fun we had. I've got a record of like 35 seconds for that level too. Not the fastest but very fast.

Agree with Afro Joe... Mario Kart 64 was incredible.

Mario Kart 64 wasn't really a c*ck up at all.

Sure, the computer controlled characters cheated an awful lot in single player, but at least it kept everything competitve and didn't leave you racing yourself for the duration of most courses. (Also, did anyone notice that on Kalimari Desert you could pull away from the computers, and on some occasions, lap them?)

Granted, the single player's longevity was questionable, but anything regarding shortage of longevity is subsequently quashed when the multiplayer area of the game is viewed in full flow. In fact, me and my mates STILL play Mario Kart 64 - about once a week, I'd say. It's second only to Goldeneye on the greatest ever multiplayer games list.

Although a little slow compared to the likes of F-Zero X, Mario Kart 64 is still one of the best racing titles around, and his been ever since its release.
