Forums - Nintendo - Mario Kart Wii $50, Wii Wheel alon $15

Mario Kart is bundled with a peripheral for $49.99! Its sales shouldn't be counted because it isn't really a full-priced game!

Seriously, who gets a guide for Mario Kart?

And I'm surprised the Wheel isn't $20.

"Well, if the response to WiiPlay is any indication, the first week sales of MK are going to be peppered with the usual crowd claiming that the sales don't count because "People are just buying it for the wheel"... :p"

WiiPlay is a $10 game and a $40 peripheral, MKWii is a $35 game and a $15 peripheral, so at least it makes up more than 2/3 of the retail price. :P

 Meh, youcan use "facts" and "math" and "logic" to prove anything, it takes real guts to randomly say something strange and pointless despite the "evidence" and "numbers" and "reality" not backing you up... :D

(By the way, despite the sarcasm, am I the only one who could see someone trying that argument? I mean about the wheel, not the "facts" thing)

 Nice.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Aurally examine my music!

Wear gaudy colours or avoid display. It's all the same.

Be warned, I will use walls of polysyllables and complex clauses as a defence against lucid argument.

Wand to read a creepy thread?

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the Wii Wheel was actually very good.



"Mario Kart Wii was given 94% by the "Official Nintendo Magazine" UK with the new "Wii Wheel" apparently working very effectively."
