I'm getting Mario Kart Wii tomorrow, but my freind got it today, I tried it out and well....

... I diden't care for it too much. Like ya it WAS Mario Kart, but idk, their was something not as fresh about it. I can't wait to get it though, I'm sure once I dig into it I'll see for sure if I like it or not.

Of everything, I'm most impressed with the WiiWheel. It just controls so damned well. The rumble coming from it, the way you do tricks, the fact that you CAN play with one hand if you wanted... and I love the sounds that come out of the Wiimote speaker.

No way I could go back to a "conventional" controller, and enjoy MK as much as I am now.

Oh yeah - and its REALLY drool worthy on a 50'' Plasma :)

I miss Double Dash. I loved the co-op. I love MKWii, but I want co-op dammit!

Entroper: So far I have only succeeded in dodging a blue shell by being launched out of a cannon. So, while it's possible... it's not bloody likely. And stars, but I'm too impatient to keep it now that you can only have 1 item.

Of course, I also somehow managed to glitch Rainbow Road on 100cc where I got stuck in the track and drove half impaled for 3 seconds after what sounded like 3 bombs exploded, got struck by lightning and then fell through the map, then beat all the cpu's by about 90 seconds in the end. So I don't know what the hell happened there. Free win on Rainbow road though.

Yeah, I didn't think about having a star, but of course the problem is that you're highly unlikely to get a star if you're in the top half of the pack.

You can reduce the impact of the pow block by doing a trick at the exact moment it hits (which will cause you to do a wheelie if you're on a bike). Then you'll only spin once instead of thrice.

Faxanadu on 28 April 2008

I bought it Saturday alongside Wii Fit. I started playing it last night and have to say:

absolutely fantastic game. I have not had as much fun playing a game as I had with this one in a loooong time. The wheel is pure gold, The tracks are awesome. The squid is annoying like hell (in a good way) and I already dodged like 5 red shells (you just have to TIME it right....).

Overall this game to me is what is gaming all about. Oh, and the graphics are fantastic and way beyond the GC from what I recall. You just have to see them in motion.

Like I said, if you can only get one game this gen, this is the game to get.

So far been rather enjoyable, and it's clear you get better with the wheel very quickly. Or at least I have been. Although Bowser's Castle still manages to beat the crap out of me. Stupid half pipe of death.

Although I'm getting an average of 2 blue shells on me a lap. Stupid computers!

I really gotta get my Wii online. Stupid me.

Stupid theme for the evening.

The amount of punishment you get for being in first place is truly absurd when there are 11 other karts. Anyone found a way not to get hit with a blue shell yet? Nothing seems to block this, or the POW item, or the lightning. At least if a red shell is homing in, you can hold a banana peel or a shell behind you to block.


POW block and lightning dont bother me, as they are items that will hurt everyone except the one using it or everyone in front of the guy using it. So normally, if you are first, 2,3,4...8 also get punished. so no worries. The blue one....well, gotta live with it I guess.

Red shell no problem with the blocking technique, squid is a bit annoying but not hard to still drive well, everything else ok. Love the cannon btw.

It's definitely a great game especially the multiplayer... i picked it up this morning at Best Buy despite the fact that i still had reservations about the game after reading reviews and was worried I'd be disappointed, well all my fears were thrown aside the minute fired the game up! I spent about 3 hours playing GP mode and cleared all the 50cc races now I just started playing the 100cc class and I love the bikes, even more so than the karts. The Wii wheel was fun too although I find mapping the items to the d-pad to feel a bit unnatural for a MK veteran like myself. Online was flawless, the complete opposite of Brawl on its release day, ugh what a nightmare. No lag whatsoever, and I like the points system, it works out alot better then simply doing like say a 4 race match like on MK DS because you dont have to worry about people constantly dropping out just because they lost a race, that IMO was a huge flaw in MK DS's online. I just wish that the graphics didn't look kinda washed out and blurry, as if the brightness and contrast on my tv set was jacked all the way up. Other then that I'm very happy with MKWii, even moreso than Brawl believe it or not!

Final verdict... MK Wii > MK DS > MK 64 > MK DD... however SNES MK is still the one MK to rule them all!


I actually love the d-pad as you can now control better the direction to shoot the item or to hold it. Back then you had to pull the analog stick back for a sec to shoot green shells and stuff backwards, now its easier.

My only concern is: I am never loosing. I mean I played all the 50CC and came in first in all tracks first time playing (with wheel). then i started first cup in 100CC and the same stuff. always came in first. I hope this changes in 150CC and that it gets a challenge like Diddy Kong racing was on the 64.
