Race To Race Online

I purchased a copy of Mario KArt DS yesterday from EB games :P. Although the official release date is set for this Thursday some retailers including Big W and EB have decided to sell some advance copies. After reading that online at Aussie Nintendo a quick call was made to the nearest EB, and after speeding over to pick up the game, I've spent 2 hours finishing the 150cc mode in GP :).

The game is absolutely amazing, no bullcrap there. Play it and you'll believe. Very smooth scenary textures, no lag in multiplayer, really smooth gameplay. I have not tried the online mode yet as I do not own a router (and am eagerly awaiting the USB dongle), though I've heard the gameplay is as good as the single player modes. If you're still awaiting the game's official release tomorrow, wait no longer - buy now!

Also, for any readers residing in the States, you can now purchase the USB adaptor online through Nintendo's online store. Here is a link to the page:

(edit: very long link, please click here)

$34.95 U.S, though I do not know the price of shipping as the adaptor is only available to U.S and Canadian citizens.
