2008. He's the bad boy of gaming, with attitude, baditude, then dum dum something about latitude, to win his gratitude. That's from the Simpsons, but I can't remember it all. All I can recall is that the jockeys were leprechauns and Homer said "possessions are fleeting".

This game is an anachronism. It simply should not be. Remember that Donkey Kong racing game that they showed as a first trailer with the unveiling of the GameCube?
