I like having the countdown.

I think you're wrong though...

10 days for MKWii Europe?

It is second today, and 11th is launch date, right?

I thought we didn't count the day we're on, but we do count the launch day. Therefore it gets

3rd
4th
5th
6th
7th
8th
9th
10th
11th

That's 9. I thought we counted like this on Brawl, and changing that for different games seems odd to me. If I'm wrong feel free to correct me.

In other news, if you care about reviews, Famitsu has scored the game. It got 10/9/9/9, or 37 out of 40.

Nintendo Power gave it 9/10

For a comparison, Famitsu gave Double Dash 36

1) Single Player - Play against AI or against a WIFI opponent

Or against 11 Wifi opponents. You can chose number of AIs

2) Multiplayer 2 player splitscreen. Race each other. No AI characters.

No - you can play with 10 AI characters even if you play multiplayer. 8 with 4 player. Online possible too.


3) Multiplayer 3+ players splitscreen.

No, you can have 8 AIs (9 if 3 players) on screen.
No possibility for online.

4) 2 Battle Modes -- Balloons and Coins. Bombs seem to be missing.

Correct, but team only for online, don't know about offline.

@RCT

thanks for the link, that video was awesome

THERE IS 2 PLAYER GP!!!!!

(Correction: Since this review was published, Nintendo has informed Eurogamer that it is possible to play sequences of four races with friends both offline and online. Offline, you can choose to select a race each time, randomise, or play in order - effectively allowing you to play through a regular GP if you select the usual first track. Online, racing with Friends, each player can select a track from those available on their save file. This clearly contradicts our observations of the review code and we apologise for the error. After discussion we feel the score below still fits the game.)

The eurogamer review: http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=95123&page=3





- and good find oyovovo (dam its hard to spell your name) on toadette that pretty much confirms it completely

shrimpy_boy11 on 03 April 2008

yea you can... the original point system, then trophy ceremony. I loved playing against someone in GP with AI and seeing if i have enough points to beat them in the last race. Why would they get rid of it?
