Maybe, but she wouldn't be the same without them FMB's

The thing I'd like to know is what about the MarioKart channel.

If you do choose to import(for whatever reason), does the channel install and work fine on a different region console, this to me looks like the biggest possible issue after the compatibility of the disk iteslf as the channel is obviously pretty essential for online play.

Just bought a points card in anticipation of Dr. Mario, looks like a fantastic update, with it's new modes(including a pointer controlled mode, online mode etc.), Mii support, and being able to send demo's to people on your friends list, it really looks as though they've pulled out all the stops.

So it's Dr. Mario for 1000 points, then I'll have an extra 1000 spare on my account for whatever else takes my fancy later on.

Can't say I'm too excited about WiiWare in general though, most of the games just look like free PC flash games to me, although Lost Winds does look very promising(but 2 hours?), depends on the price.

Fantastic news, this was the deal breaker for me on this game so big time happy to see they're sorting out online play for the US release!

Should be great, hop the free to play blue WiFi logo appears on the US box art.

Forgot to mention that even IGN have updated their release date for the US version to April also.

Most online stores have now changed their preorder date for Mario Kart Wii from TBC to April 28th so it looks as though that will be our release date, not so long after Europe after all :-)

MarioKart Wii! Let this be true!

I know one thing, my wheel will be going straight on ebay(likely joining hundreds of others, lol).

Bought my Wii at launch and have come to realise that if a game allows you to use the good old wavebird, it'll probably be the best control option, that's what I'll be hitting the tracks with ;-)

Please go back to normal controllers for your next console Ninty.

I for one will not be buying, can see the thing being shoved down beside the sofa after a couple of months anyway.

The board could have great potential for other games, but will it be fully taken advantage of or will it be poorly implemented into alot of games(I'm looking at you remote & nunchuk!) and turn out more of a gimmick than a realistic control scheme.

Great, so I won't be able to taunt my mates online after all, thanks Nintendo!

What if someone should write a swear word through text, heaven forbid!
