This is the first release to support Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, contains significant optimization, and even has region-free play, so you can battle against gamers from Japan or Europe - the first Macintosh beta is planned for next week."

    "Seriously, the entire Nintendo not believing in online play... wtf?"

    Nintendo has stated before that they don't feel the on-line world is quite ready yet. What they want to do is avoid a re-occuring cost for the players. If on-line pay means a subscription, and the service isn't like top-notch (lag?), it's not interesting to Nintendo.

    I want on-line play too, but at least Nintendo's thinking about their gamers here.
