Hey guys, I'll be gone for the next 6 hours but I've decided that maybe I should get Mario Kart Wii? Is it fun and what are the differences between it and Mario Kart 64? Online any good and if I bought it, would I be playing it often? Please feel free to leave any comments.

EDIT: Ok thanks guys for the inputs, I might get it as soon as it's in stock in my areas. I can get it with a 10% discount at Target but they nvr have it in stock.

Above I'm a proud Gran Turismo fan, not a Sony fanboy, and now a proud 360 owner, but sharing xbox live accts ATM

End of 2009 Predictions (made Jan 1, 2009): My predictions were pretty accurate, the 360 was over and the Wii was just under.

Wii: 65 mil (yea I'm crazy) 360: 35 mil (its getting there) PS3: 30 mil (the slim better do well)

End of 2010 Predictions (made Jan 7, 2010):

Wii: 81 mil 360: 47 mil PS3: 45 mil

Get it, but let me warn you... if you're going to play online, you'll get addicted.

it's only fun multi-player. so either have a couple of friends or play online (which i haven't tried yet).

does anyone know if there is a random track selection option when play against friends?

I've been playing this game a lot recently. I have just had it for a week or so, but I'm finding it to be the most fun I've ever had with Mario Kart. (and I enjoyed the previous games a lot)
