-Earthbound VC, hear anything? ~ Haven't heard. Will hassle Reggie about it next time they sit down.
-Any game you would give a 10 that you didn't review? ~ Link to the Past Bozon, Super Metroid Damon, Original Pokemon Craig. Matt wouldn't have given OoT a 10.

12 player BATTLE mode on mario kart?!

Thats worth the price alone.

http://www.fanficmaker.com <-- Tells some truly terrible tales.
Last update; Mice,Plumbers,Animatronics and Airbenders. We also have the socials; Facebook & G+

The summary above about Mario Kart misses the extreme negativity they were exuding about it. They were joking it would barely get an 8.0. Matt in particular seems to be dissing the game frequently.

Good stuff as usual. Can't wait to see what happens.
