Nintendo Unveils Two Secret Characters for Mario Kart 7

[dancinginfernal]

People still buy Mario Kart?

I know right. Not enough brown, bloom and bloody screens.

How about more insignificant gameplay changes. The only differences I've seen in any of the Mario Kart games is graphics, minor handling tweaks, new maps and new characters.

I can understand 2 or 3 happening, but 7?

Isn't the whole point of secrets, and hidden unlockables supposed to be, no one knows about them until after launch and someone spreads the word.

I swear the whole industry has become a bunch of 6 year olds giving out their first gift. They don't want to wait to give it to you, they want to blurt it out as soon as possible.

I really miss all the cool hidden things, I really do, but I like gaming news and it seems devs can't keep a lid on anything, let alone add in hidden stuff to find because everyone knows or can know every minute facet of a game just by skimming a few articles months before launch.

In total agreement here. It's depressing to get full lineups before release, especially when they're called "secret."
