Whether you saw Reggie's announcement on Mario Kart Wii yesterday or not, odds are that the footage you saw of the game was fuzzy or distant, and that is just plain wrong. Mario Kart is a delicious treat meant to be enjoyed up close, like a fluffy, flaky, French pastry. So of course, when we need a good video, we turn to French gamers -- and Jeux France comes through with some of the best footage from the keynote we've seen so far. Sure, you could watch a blurry clip on YouTube, but this is Mario Kart. You deserve better. Go on over and give it a gander, because we can't embed it here.

Wii Fanboy staff keynote reactions

Dave:
I'm just happy we're still getting it this year, as I was afraid it would get bumped back. And with the Dojo updates rolling on the regular, I'm going to be well-fed on news about the game up until it's release. I'm excited.
JC: Well, it's about as late as it can be and still be considered "this year." At least they haven't broken their promise about its release date yet. The bits of video we got to see behind Reggie looked nice.
Eric: Like Dave, I was surprised to hear that this is still scheduled for this year. It's interesting that there was very little, if any, mention of the game's online capabilities.
Alisha: Wha-? I'm shocked that Super Mario Galaxy is going to hit first, but hey, I'm always a fan of delays if it means we get a better game. I can wait a little longer to get my smackdown on. Like Eric, I just, uh, want to hear about some online business, you know? I can wait for the game, but I want that now.
Super Mario Galaxy release date: November 12th

GDC 07: Super Mario Galaxy screenshots and footage from Miyamoto's Keynote

Scrutinizing Miyamoto's GDC keynote for information on upcoming games might have been about as productive as trying to squeeze water from a rock, but the new Super Mario Galaxy gameplay trailer and screenshots that were brought out did not disappoint.
