Japanese Mario Kart Wii video smorgasbord

So does that mean you're going to be camping outside Gamestop on your birthday?

If so, I'll bring you cake. Delicious, moist cake. With sprinkles. You like sprinkles right?

please everyone i know its hard, i'm fighting the urge right now too, but please for the love of god no portal jokes

Can i post 300 jokes?

only if you can come up with another 300 besides "this is ________"

You guys are forgeting the important point in here... my birthday is in about a month...

I will gladly accept Virtual Console Gifts, Wii Points and 360 Points...

But with just a "Happy Birthday" is ok. =p

I thought the important point was Mario Kart was coming out on April 27.

Why do you think they are going to release Mario Kart Wii in April 27?

It's a gift from Nintendo to me, for being the most loyal Nintendo fan =p

fernando my gift to you will be a beat down in Brawl if you just add my code

Wanna play right now sir? Let me add you.

Do you have my code?

But lets play NOW.

Apparently, the love between Nintendo and Fernando is stronger than the love between Ross and Rachel.

unfortunately i cannot play at this moment. But i added your code when joystiq made the post for everyone to share codes, however I should be on later tonight if not then, then tomorrow afternoon.

Yeah... and we are never going to be on a break =p

Ok... my nickname is Fer... whats you? =p

I will be online in the night.

nickname: Shmil

How old will you be?

On a side note, im using the wii to browse and i can't see the video, but hear it. :-( Why does Wii shaft me so?

Last thing, i got battalion wars 2. good game but needs game-specific friend codes. Does Nintendo really think that half it's users are vulnerable children and the other half paedophiles!? For fucks sake man!

rant off.

I will be 24.

Yo Rocker, we still need to play. I wanna have another chance to destroy you in Brawl(again).

"So does that mean you're going to be camping outside Gamestop on your birthday?"
"only if you can come up with another 300 besides "this is ________"

I got it! "Tonight...we dine...AT GAMESTOP!"

@ sora
you sir win the prize IRL

You are right... we are stuck in here with SSBB =(

@Fernando Rocker: heh, i'm using a Freeloader so i can play NTSC games. Talking about Brawl i might just hope on for a quick wifi match.

(same goes for Wii Fit, europe gets it secound)

=)

lag?! your still getting that?

lag was a one-off with me.

Lag was in the first two days... everything is smooth now... 60 frames in online battle.

Maybe you need to upgrade your Dynex router.

@Fernando

Its one thing to be a total Nintendo Zealot and patsie. Its another thing to insult a guy for having lag in brawl online which just about everyone playing the game has. Maybe your so consumed in your Nintendo obsession you can look past al of that. I am still having lag and problems connecting most of the time.


My problems with the Wii and Nintendo online--

1. Friend Codes!- Ok so friend codes are long and tedious compared to just adding a name. It wouldn't be so bad if it were not for problem #2.

2. Game specific friend codes! Not only do I have to add someone's friend code but if I want to play any game with them online I also have to add their game specific friend code. This is more than likely a measure of protection for children playing the console.

3. No chatting, custom soundtracks, in game XMB/messaging or downloading content! Its possible this will change in the future but as of right now playing the Wii online is the same thing as playing the computer. Even though you are playing against people there is no way to know who.

4. No friend invites! I believe this pretty much speaks for its self.

Nintendo does not believe in on-line play. I believe they even said as much last generation. With the lack of servers for first part support and the other litany of problems it makes playing the Wii online more of a chore than a joy.


With all of that said the thing that makes the Wii playable online is obviously games like SSBB and potentially Mario Kart. Fernando, for you to defend the service and to go as far as to make it out to be someone else's fault that the service is pure trash just shows your bias and inability to look at the situation with an open mind.

You love to bash another consoles online component and rightfully so. However, the Wii service being free is the only positive thing I can see about to this point. Let's all hope that Nintendo can get with the next gen program and make an online service that matches Live.

Sigh. Maybe magically the comment I just entered somehow teleported over to the article on the broken comment system, but I doubt it.

Anyways, was just going to say McPoop is right on here. Lag was just in the 1st two days? Dream on. Has nothing to do with upgrading a router.

His skin is so pale from being in Mario's shadow too long

Nintendo, what happened?

The only word I have for your graphical fidelity is "dated."

Get with the program.

Poor Weegee.

wow, don't know what came over me there...

"Now just imagine how cool this game would look if the Wii were truly a next-gen system"

What, like this?:

No thanks, that'd creep me the f out.

"Maybe on the next console I suppose"

Oh sigh, then this whole cruel cycle starts over again next 'gen', and everybody comes out of the woodwork with 'Oh Nintendo is so stoopid these graphics are sooo outdated, totally last gen doodz, imo imo, Nintendo makes graphics and gamez for babeez anybody who buys it iz a sucker baby'

Unless you're a spaz like many of us who will buuy more than one console I can understand holding off on a Wii. However I think there's plenty of good titles out by now that you could be satisfied with. Controllers are pretty compelling, my mind was blown that the console could offer the kind of steering ExciteTruck has. That's an im "h" o.

i don't nintendo is calling you stupid i think its just their way of not making the games mario kart 1, 2, 3, etc.
they've done this for a while, Mario Kart 64, Pilotwings 64,
its just nintendo's way of differentiating their franchise games from one another

Back in the good ol' days, companies differentiated titles by adding "The Revenge" to the titles.

Or by starting it with 'Super' or 'Mega' (at least in Europe - ours was the Mega Drive rather than the Genesis).

I would prefer,

"Mario Kart: The Reckoning"
