I'm actually looking forward to this more than I ever was for Smash Brothers...but for me, Mario Kart is always a bigger multiplayer game than Smash Brothers (and I love smash bros)...part of that is that perhaps that getting my brother to play Smash Bros. is like pulling teeth...but he's generally always up for a round of Mario Kart (well not always, but its more likely)...and I can get my mom to occasionally play Mario Kart too. Smash Brothers is fun but I've never managed to "get" it enough to really understand the underlying depth...I can see said depth but I just can't get to the point where the game feels less random when playing against the CPU and feels more like I'm actually beating it instead of just beating on the other guy(s) until I win.

That looks so amazingly ugly. Maybe I'm remembering things incorrectly, but those screenshots look worse than MK:DD.
