Well, I have it now. The demo disk is actually packed into the game, which leads me to ask if the demo disk isn't JUST for pre-orders only but will be there for everyone...
Anyway, nice demos. Not much new. There's a movie of Pokémon Colloseum in it, and again, it seems like there's a FULL RPG in there (little clips of fun FPG stuff like talking to people in a pub and such), but not as emphasized as it could or should be. The movie advertised both aspects about evenly actually.
And now, for more Kartin' action!
Edit: I want Sonic Heroes now...
Edit the second: LOVE this game. Some things have been changed, but all for the better if you ask me. You can't avoid banana peels with that one trick any more, but oh well I wasn't any good at that so it evens things up for me, and plenty others I'm sure... *cough*. Also, while you can still easily control if you toss shells, bananas, trick boxes, and so on (like fire balls), in front or behind, you can't actually HOLD them behind you. Removes the trick where you hold something back there and back into another racer to dessimate them, but to be honest that's alright too. Makes people actually have to GET shields to use them. Also, the jump/power slide is now JUST power slide. Makes a lot more sense to me. Never did get what that whole jump was about except for power sliding... More than that, the slide is pressure sensitive. More you press, more you slide. That's good. Switching characters about and deciding on karts is loverly :D.
Alright, now to see how far along the various GCN tunnel projects are. I'll now try to get online!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
