Mario Kart Wii
 

Don't you just love when a classic game comes out! Our kids love it:)

They might give us a chance to have a go on it sometime

Re: Wii Mario Kart
 

Brilliant game!

I like how they have kept the really good parts of the old N64 one and added to that, hours of fun :tu:

Re: Wii Mario Kart
 

I am trying to decide what the best control system is, They seem to have removed a lot of the racing skill i.e less snaking. So it heavily balanced in favor of the who gets the best weapons

Re: Wii Mario Kart
 

I'll probably get this tomorrow.

Sounds great :)

Re: Wii Mario Kart
 

It's a great game, more like the SNES version than any of it's later offspring.

I must admit I was surprised how well the wheel works, it's been really well implemented, if you have a Wii then Mario Kart is certainly one of the top titles for the console.

Re: Wii Mario Kart
 

A quick question about the game.

Mario Kart supports the Gamecube controllers. So could you have a four player game by using 2 Wii remotes and 2 Gamecube controllers?

Thanks:)

Re: Wii Mario Kart
 

Yep, you can.

Re: Wii Mario Kart
 

Yep, you certainly can do 4 player like that... but only local multiplayer, as you can only have 2 players going online from the same console.

Tis a great game... the little 'un has been playing it a lot these past few days. Should keep him busy until Super Smash Bros Brawl is released.

A good excuse to invite my little sis down to stay overnight and get her a new game for her Wii ;)

Re: Wii Mario Kart
 

Im struggling to get to grips with manual drifting at the moment, with automatic, the kart turns better, with manual you have to bouce drift to get in the right direction for the corner but you do get the speed boost at the end of the drift.

Its quite tricky on snaking bends, (the Maple leaf course seems to be a nightmare) and trying to hold a shell while drifting is quite a challenge too.

I've also not quite managed to work out stunts yet either, it looks like you need to do something with the wheel but i've not worked out what.

Re: Wii Mario Kart
 

Flick the wheel up at the moment you jump, manual drifting is a lot easier if you do not use the wheel as well

Re: Wii Mario Kart
 

I will definately get this for my Wii, will wait a few months first though, as I'd expect it to be 2 expensive at the moment!
Its not really the sort of game I'd normally go for, but hey, learn something new etc...

I'd really love it if they made Halo for the Wii, but alas, for the time being anyway, I shall have to go without :(

Re: Wii Mario Kart
 

Its not as good as its made out to be, in fact i'd say its overhyped.

Re: Wii Mario Kart
 

Halo or Wii?

Re: Wii Mario Kart
 

Eh, Halo.

Re: Wii Mario Kart
 

Have seen this going for £32 at Chavda. My nipper paid £35 in Gamestation, but as he traded in a couple of games he doesn't play, he only had to cough up £15 for it. Even at thirty-something quid, I'd say this is good value as it has lots of replay value if you play online.

Re: Wii Mario Kart
 

don't you just love it mario cart online :D
been playing mario cart since the day it first came out and still play it nearly every friday round friends.
ive got the xbox360 with call of duty 4. but still love the Wii :D

Re: Wii Mario Kart

Re: Wii Mario Kart
 

I got it for £19.99 when Amazon miss priced it :D

Re: Wii Mario Kart

Re: Mario Kart Wii
 

Bah - I love this game, I just wish my son wouldn't accuse me of cheating every time I go past him in a power slide pretending to be the Stig...

Re: Mario Kart Wii
 

I really want to buy this game but it seems to be out of stock everywhere! :(

Re: Mario Kart Wii
 

I got mine by keeping an eye on this stock checker site: http://www.wii-consoles.co.uk/mario-kart-in-stock.asp

Great game. I've only got one more kart and one more character to unlock. ;)
