Oh, I thought there was some mention about a 16 player death match mode that wasn't possible on the current gen of systems, but I thought they might put in like 4 player LAN.(so can gamecube support more than 8 players on a LAN in mario kart dd? perhaps two per gamecube, or maybe it can do 16 way link, I know only 8 karts race, but each one has 2 players on it...I suppose they could rent a building to do it, but I don't think many homes or college dorms would have enough room for that much...oh yeah, ethernet cables can reach for quite a bit, so I could see 4 in 4 rooms or 8 in 2)
