Mario Kart Wii

[Bob The Skutter]

Any body else got it? My copy showed up this morning. I'm having a blast with it. There's no online chat or anything, but the games are easy enough to set up. Looks like you have to use a separate "Friend code" for the game though. So if anyone else wants a game, either post your code, or PM me and let me know.

Where did you order it from? I would love to get my hands on it early.

 

[Bob The Skutter]

play.com. I believe tomorrow is the release date(at least in the UK), so it's not all that early.

 

[Akiraprise]

I didn't realize you were in the UK. Lucky bugger.
It doesn't get released until the 27th here in the States. I haven't looked forward to a game like this one for quite some time. It's the sole reason I bought a Wii.

Not that I'm all that bothered, but you got Super Smash Bros. months before us, in fact they still haven't set a release date, I believe.

Are you playing with the pretend wheel or the GC controls?

MarioKart is my Jesus, and probably the ONLY game out there that would cause me to spend the money on a Wii.

I'll be ordering this soon, not going to be able to play intil the start of May, but I'm ordering. Smash Bros, GTA4, Mario Kart all at the same time as my exams start... Don't think I'll be able to keep my 1A average up this year

Just picked it up in a store here in Germany today (I wasn't expecting it until tomorrow but there it was).

I've had a great time so far though I haven't played that much yet. Definitely fun! I hope I'll get to try the online playing sometime.

Well I've got plenty of options. Plain old wiimote, plastic wheel, gc controller, or classic controller... I've been going between using the Wheel on single player, and just the wiimote when playing against my brother.

I picked up Smash Bros. on release day. I haven't been playing it all that much though. Just been going through the single player so far, haven't had any multiplayer matches with anybody yet.

Good luck. If it's anything like SSSB, it'll be horribly fucking broken.

It's perfectly fine online. Easy to set up games. I don't know about the friends roster, but with the quick games you just select International, or Continental, and wait for it to join a game. It doesn't take long, but sometimes you have to wait for the previous game to end.

 

[MyCylon]

All I really want to be able to do really is set up an online game once in a while with a friend of mine (we played the original Mariokart to death back in the day ). As long as I can do that, I'm fine.

I play with the plastic wheel. It looks silly but I think it's fun. It does make your arms tired after a while though. I do imagine this will get better the more I play .

Heh playing MarioKart to work on your biceps

Well, it works with Wii Sports

 

[CommodoreKong]

I can't wait for the North American release.
Hopefully I'll actually be able to play with random people online. I've never been able to play with random people in Smash Brothers, just with friends.

 

[OdoWanKenobi]

Mario Kart and GTA4 are coming out at the same time. This will be one of the hardest decisions ever.

^I know for sure I'm getting Mario Kart, and I'm using my $25 Toys R Us Mario Galaxy gift card to get it (I'll be going there to preorder next week, with my local Toys R Us I'm worried they wont get too many extra copies).

I'm also thinking of picking up GTA4, I got $58 from the Microsoft Iowa class action settlement and I'm itching to spend it. I got tired of the GTA series part way through Vice City, but I'm thinking of giving it another chance since I really enjoyed playing Godfather on the Wii last summer.
