Highlighted points I don't agree with, but I guess the motion controls and 12 players is quite good.
HOWEVER
be bikes: what does that add? what makes that a defining feature?
new courses: obviously there are going to be new courses, but my point is is that they've watered the difficulty down and added straights to make them easier, which is pathetic
retro courses: this can't be considered new. one, because they are retro and two, this was done on DS
online features: they've missed a trick with online modes and offline modes. The things that you think would be standard for play aren't. Not acceptable.
