How come journals don't hype or mention good Wii games.

Seriously, they don't actually like the system. When you deduct points from Super Mario Galaxy for the co-op being "an afterthought" or from Mario Kart Wii for "being too casual" and "based on luck", certainly something is wrong.

Exactly.  Journalists just parrot each other "mario kart is luck! mario kart is luck!"  I remember I read that in every review.

How many of them actually obtained an 8000+ rating?  How many have won a tournament?  Try one of those and call it luck, please.

What I'm wondering, since I don't have the game yet, is if the blue shell comes more often if you play the game like Mario Kart or try to play it like a straight racing game.

There's a fixed percent chance of getting each item that differs based on the position you're in.  If you're in first place a lot, you will get hit by blue shells a lot.

I have no idea what you mean when you say "play the game like Mario Kart."  Is this some kind of Casual vs Hardcore argument lead-in?

I mean if you use items and other MK features instead of just using pure racing to get in the lead.
