@Hyperfludd: I kinda want that shirt.

I've set my goal to unlock everything in Mario Kart before GTAIV comes out. I only have a few more characters and vehicles to go!

@MisterFeeny: It's irritating, but just use the trick boosts and you boost yourself right back up for another 15 second lead...then the cycle starts over again.

I'm pretty disappointed in how over used the power items are in this game in the grand prix. I'll have a 15 second lead then all of a sudden my screen is covered in black crap, i'm struck by lightning, and i'm being blown to hell by a blue shell, (sometimes 2 in a row even!) Not very fun.

I got it today, very fun times. I have to admit, the GC controls are 1000 times better, but it is way too much fun to play with the wheel. I don't mind losing as long as I get to really feel like I'm rolling in Baby Peach's stroller...

I just got the game today and picked up an extra wheel for it. Me and my brother both agree, the Wii Wheel is really fun. It is kind of hard to get used to at first, but it's great after a while.

I'd really love to pick this up, but I can't be spending money due to me moving in (in another state) with someone special for the summer. I will be picking it up as soon as I get the chance, though. I hear good things and Mario Kart has always been a fun diversion.

I'll be damned, Mario Kart Wi-Fi actually WORKS. No waiting 10 minutes for a match up, at least regionally. I'm loving it so far, but the wheel is killing my arms, and I can't seem to figure out the drift boost thing. Guess I'll have to read the manual after all.

Blind_Evil — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 11:19:15 MDT

I played this in Best Buy, they had a pretty sweet setup with a huge TV, the game, and a real go-kart. I think the media has been a bit overly critical of the wheel, after racing for roughly 30 seconds I had a good feel for it. When I buy the game, I'll probably use it (on the lower CC races, at least).

supersmashandy — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 10:37:46 MDT

Mario Kart just came out (picked it up at 11 a.m.), and GTA won't be available to me until Monday at midnight... I've got tomorrow off work, and all day today to play, so that'll give me a dozen hours to kill myself with sweet sugary Nintendo goodness before time comes to kill hookers and (maybe?) traffic slaves.

Wonderful.

Mario Kart Wii is great fun. Single player 150cc and mirror wasn't nearly as unfair with the rubber banding AI as I had been led to believe. Aside from the 50% chance that a blue shell will hit you a right in front of the finish line on the final lap, followed by 1-2 red shells, as you fall from 1st to 7th, that is. >_<

Wich is annoying. But it's not *hard*, just annoying. Gold on the first try on all the cups.

Online however, is awesome in every way. \o/

@LedRush:

I plan on walking in and start picking up t-shirts, hoodies etc. for no apparent reason and when I've paid for all the merchandise and I get out on the street again I'll probably be thinking: "What the hell just happened?"
I'm a sucker for retro merchandise, so I plan on ruining myself at the Nintendo World Store... Wauw, just listen to those words "Nintendo... World... Store..." Those three words combined are like bigger, better, and stronger and Jesus and Superman combined!

@LedRush: I hear ya. It's sad, really.

As far as I'm concerned, if a game is fun and I enjoy it - I'm going to play it. Regardless of what anyone thinks.

Unfortunately, I have a few riends in that mindset that you described. Every Nintendo game, or something that "hardcore" gamers wouldn't dare play is "kiddie" and every role-playing game is "gay." All they consider "good games" are M-rated FPS's. Blegh.

LedRush — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 08:38:02 MDT

@Moridin:

Sorry for the double post, by your comment is growing on me. Those who think Halo 3 isn't immature (super high jumping, vehicles performing wildly, munchkin aliens spewing funnies) yet criticize Mario for being so are a little odd to me. But then again, I play games for fun, not for maturity.

LedRush

LedRush — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 08:35:35 MDT

@Moridin:

Well, I've heard that type of comment spoken seriously while playing Halo 3 so many times that I didn't pick up on its ironical nature. While I remove you from association from my comments (with apologies), I still think that my comments validly address a widespread belief.

Marlor — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 08:34:14 MDT

@LedRush:

Agreed. I've never heard an adult call any game "kiddie".

It's a teenage thing, based on the desire to feel "grown up".

@Vetterli: I live a couple of blocks from Nintendo World and it is pure fun. The problem is that I'll go in and just find myself picking up a Zelda hoody, Old School gamer shirts, or NES underwear for no reason. I actually grew up a Sega fanboy, but Nintendo World has done its job and made me look like a Nintendo one.

@Moridin: Owen posted the article saying 11 ways to tell you're not hardcore. One of them should be you can't enjoy MarioKart or other great titles because you mistakenly believe that hating them makes you mature. Or maybe that should be on a personality disorder list of some sort. I honestly believe that no few real adults have that opinion, and only teenagers and the insecure call those games "kidddie".

I have a small space in my gaming heart for this franchise but at this point I don't see myself playing much of anything Wii related for a long time. GTA IV is really gonna put a hurtin on this game. Why you ask? lol
because You can have races in a NYC theme sandbox plus you can actually shoot out of your windows and/or run people over. Ummm, what does that say about us, right? lol Sorry MK i'll be picking you up on the used bin a a few minths when I can return you if I don't like you anymore....lol
Peace Out my homie

@Marlor: I was referring to a car in the GTA series. Haha.

My previous comment was just fueled by GTA-hype, and I guess I came off sounding like an ass, but don't get me wrong. I will be picking up Mario Kart Wii eventually, and meant nothing against the game. I've loved the series since the original.

Hopefully I'll be off to New York later this year, so if you walk by Nintendo World and there are police men forcing a tall guy out onto the streets because of his refusal to leave the store after 3 days of nonstop cheerful yelling... well, then that might be me.

For once those of us in Europe get a game early! I've had it for a couple weeks now and am really enjoying it. The Wii Wheel takes a bit of getting used to but ends up becoming second nature. And the online actually kind of works! In a Nintendo game! Yeah, its a great game.
