Slow news day, or is Luigi just that creepy?

It might be all fun and games to you but he's not messing around.
Mario Kart 8 came out on Friday and, judging by the weekly chart sales figures, there's a good chance the Wii U owners among you spent the weekend enjoying it.

A recently discovered journal found at Nintendos headquarters is home to a variety of never-before-seen Iwata Asks transcripts. As a journalist, I feel that it is my duty to inform the public about these revelations and explore the mind of Iwata in order to gain a deep insight into the workings of Nintendo. These undisclosed transcripts range from recent years all the way back to the 90s, Iwata laughing in every single one of them. Todays entry has Iwata talking to the showcase of 2013: Luigi himself. From new games to his own train, Luigi had it all and is perhaps the reason for Nintendos demise.

Ryan McGinley writes: "Nintendo has recently been on a downward spiral. Setting the Wii U aside, there is still a persistent issue on the software side of things. Recent releases like New Super Mario Bros., upcoming titles such as Hyrule Warriors, and the miserable failure that was The Year of Luigi have all been followed by the resounding question: Why? Add another game to the list for the questioning, because Mario Golf: World Tour is here."

Ready? Set. Few games have managed to capture my attention and thumbs like Mario Kart. My aunt got a Nintendo 64 before we did and I remember volunteering to go down the street and water her plants so I could play, but it wasn't until Christmas morning in 1997 that my brother and I got our very first home console. I opened up a yellow M-shaped controller before discovering any games or the hardware itself. What kind of self-proclaimed Nintendo 64 kid ruins the surprise by blowing the order of carefully wrapped presents? Of course, the real surprise was , the latest in the series and the franchise entry for Nintendo's first HD console, is already on its third lap and quickly proving just as playable, engaging, and multiplayer friendly as ever. In fact, the first and second laps are such a blur you might not need any further critique on the game. If you've owned a piece of Nintendo hardware in the past 15 years, you already know how little pole position means in Mario Kart, much less what changes with each new release. It's what has stayed the same that satisfies most in split-screen and online multiplayer. Single-player racers can enter Grand Prix cups and race on either four brand new tracks or four throwback tracks in a series. In total, Mario Kart 8 offers 32 circuits for up to four players via split-screen or up to 12 online. It's not the first time Mario Kart has taken to the Internet for expanded competition, but much improved net code also allows for two players on the same couch to race with others around the world. You’ll never want for multiplayer competition in Mario Kart 8, though the game’s menu screen belies the depth of racing action you might expect from the title. With only single player, multiplayer, a Miiverse community outlet, and little else accessible from the main menu, you might think this Mario Kart incredibly shallow. It isn’t exactly chockfull of surprises, but the real value is in the roster of racers, the variety of race tracks, and just how easily you'll slip into old rivalries with friends and family (or time trial ghosts from developers and others online). All of your favorite Nintendo characters are available to choose from, plus a few you probably wouldn't waste a red shell on. Joining Mario and Luigi is the usual cadre of baddies, baby versions of some of your favorites, metal versions of Mario and Peach, and a whole gang of Bowser's minions that I passed for favorites like Yoshi, Donkey Kong, and Shy Guy. Characters have different weights and speed ratings among other stats, but you'll be able to guess at base numerics just by looking at one of Nintendo's iconically designed racers.
