I have to admit though, I'm not really much of a kart racing guy- prefer real racing games.

Couldn't agree more. I'm not much of a kart racing guy either but for some reason I can't resist the urge to pick up every iteration of Mario Kart that comes along. Usually I only play them until I get frustrated with the cheap rubberband AI and then quit. So far I've been enjoying Mario Kart 7 but I've been playing on some of the easier races. Having to unlock the characters by playing the 150cc races keeps it challenging. Giving this game a 3/10 is very ridiculous, as is giving it 9/10. I think a 6 or 7 is fair depending on your feelings toward getting hit with a blue shell right before you're about to win.

I'd advise against Star Fox 64 3D. I bought this for full price because it came out on the same day as the red 3DS and I wanted a game to test the system. I don't regret playing it, but the asking price is far too high for such a short game. It takes a max of 4 hours to beat and that's both the traditional way and the harder path. Unless you know some people that have it and can play multiplayer, I'd stay away and wait for $15 or under.

If you haven't played the first New Super Mario Bros., I actually think you're better off just getting the second one. New Super Mario Bros. 2 is very similar to the first game so I think if you play the first one right before this new one, you'll grow tired of the new one a lot faster. I never finished the first game so I'm enjoying the second one quite a bit.
As for Mario Kart, I don't see any reason to go back to the DS one. I hear it's better than the 3DS one but for me the graphics on most DS games just don't hold up after playing the 3DS counterparts.
