oh god yes, the very same man.
Although I guess we can't blame him directly for that, it was his job to make anything Nintendo did sound fantastic...even if that means holding up Mario party 3 the same month grand theft Auto 3 is released and telling us N64 will dominate christmas.

Thats good to know about the tricks and a little suprising that Bozon made that mistake and never thought to tap the D-pad on the GC controller.
Also, if these guys are saying they would give this game 7.5 without having tried the online mode yet, the end score is going to be a lot higher
don't think these where posted already, IGN have 4 more video's (Yoshi Falls, Delfino Square, Flower Cup montage and Mushroom Cup)

Aside from that, the latest Wii-k in rview talks a little about Mario Kart Wii: Matt Casamassina and Bozon said if they were to rate Mario Kart Wii today, it would be a 7.5 and 7.8, respectively.
Looks like they really thought about online for MK. I think it prefect ( not bothered about the lack of voice chat ).
No word on emblems making a return yet?
