[Wii] Mario Kart Wii - EU/AU get it first! WE HAVE NO GENITALS.

I would totally buy this and play it online if I could drive a landmaster and run over Kairyu with it.

Most amazing jew boots

So I played this game for 40 minutes at Best Buy during my lunch break. A tear rolled down my cheek and I realized what a fool I was to pass on buying this game. It was fun. ;___________;

So I immediately ask someone if I can buy a copy. They didn't have any. Ok, that's fine. I'll try another store. Next place I go to, nope... NONE! I figure I'll try back in Sacramento when I get off work. Surely the city would have plenty of copies. I make it back after work and try three different stores here. ALL SOLD OUT!. The Gamestop manager explained to me that the last time they received a shipment of the game was two weeks ago and it was only two copies. What the fuck is this shit? Honestly, two copies for an area with over a half a million population? Yeah! That's really great, Nintendo. Now you purposely gotta create shortages of your first party games too?

So apparently I have to play the call game considering that none of these places have no idea when they'll get more copies in. They said they get a few in randomly randomly, and even then none have been coming in the last few weeks. The game has already been out for what, a month now?



There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'll take amazon.com and shove it down your throat. =p

I don't wanna wait for the shipping. Tomorrow during my work hours I will track down a copy of this game. Stores should be getting shipments in the next few days I'd expect.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Good point. I already wasted enough today and here in my area of California gas is going for 4.35 on the lowest grade. Funny thing is the website is out of stock too unless I buy from a random merchant who charges like 8 bucks for shipping.

I'll call around at work tomorrow and if no one has it I'll order it. As long as I get it by this weekend I'll be happy since I'll have a chance to throw many red shells at Kairyu.

Do you guys use the wheel? Using it as a controller was actually better than I expected to be.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

So I managed to track down a copy of the game at Blockbuster of all places. They said they are getting 3 copies of the game this afternoon. I have read up on the online portion and rating system. Seems like it can bounce a lot and to have a higher ranking you gotta avoid getting hit or falling while maintaining first place most of the race. Seems kind of hard when other players get lucky with the items. =p

I was speaking idiomatically.

I love this game. I wish I bought it on launch today. So far i'm completing all of the 50cc cups with no problems at all. Since they're so easy for me I've been playing them with the wheel. I think the wheel actually makes driving more fun. I'll probably switch to the gamecube controller as soon as I finish the last cup. It makes the kart a lot easier to control.

I get so far ahead in 50cc that I spend most of the time getting hit by random bullshit. Ink to the screen, red shell, lightning bolt, and then a blue shell all at once. Yay! I need to figure out if there are ways to avoid these.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Of course!

I'm just learning the levels! The only remakes I recognize are the N64 and SNES levels. I never played the handheld MK games.

FELIPE NO

Going through 100cc now. I finished all the 50cc cups with 2 stars and I did 2 stars on half the 100cc cups. I expect to finish this tomorrow and then move on getting 2 stars in the 150cc cups. I did get unlucky a few times though. 3rd race of banana cup I got spammed with a ton of items on the last lap which resulted in me not placing first. Then it happened again on the fourth race. A blue shell hits me 10 seconds right before the finish line on the final lap. I turned the wii off in anger only to be told that I can place 3rd place in a race and still get 2 stars.

I was under the impression you had to place first every race, which I have been doing so far. Ending every cup with 60 points. Why didn't I just wait. ;___;

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I think I've been playing this game too much. So far I completed all of 50cc and 100cc with 2-3 star rankings. Now I'm up to the special cup of 150cc with all 2 stars. On 150cc it seems more like luck than anything. I could be smoothly riding through all the races, get up to the final lap of the third or fourth race, then get screwed over by lightning bolts and a barrage of shells (in all colors!) at the worst time causing me to lose the race due to the computers FLYING past you. This has happened a few times to me already so it's taking a bit longer to double star these 150cc. It's definitely doable. You just gotta have patience and hope the CPU doesn't screw you over. Now, anyone who has the patience to get all 3 stars in 150cc deserves a pat on the back.

I have a feeling mirror mode is going to confuse the hell out of me now that I'm learning the levels better. XD

How ya doing, buddy?

Got my 2 star ranking today and I only bought the game 5 days ago (I didn't play it yesterday though so I really got it in 4 playing days). Talk about addiction. I probably won't bother going for all 3 stars. The game is just way too random to bother. The only times I didn't get three stars were when the AI screwed me over with items and I really don't wanna have to do cups over and over again until I get a run with very little blue shells and lightning bolts!

I guess I'll start doing some online stuff now or some time trials. I got the most important part out of the way now so I can focus on less frustration and more on fun. My friend code is: 0989-2875-6550

I'll start adding people on the wiki to my list now.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

...and I'll add you. XD

I was doing some worldwide matches. I managed to get my score up to 7000 before all the Japanese players came on and starting hurting it. I swear, they know all the shortcuts and shit. The one who kept beating me to first place kept getting lucky because I would pass him at the same time someone in last place got a blue shell causing me to get hit by it. I have bad luck tonight.

And then there was this other Japanese player who would always pick DK summit. If we played there he would somehow get 20 seconds ahead of everyone else. I wonder how he was doing that... His mii looked like Mario and his name was Mario in Katakana. :O

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I added everyone in the wiki to my buddy list but only Icy, Kairyu, and bigcn added me back. I'll give it a week or so before I delete any unconfirmed names.

You still have nothing to worry about since you never play Wii games online with us anyway. I don't think I've ever landmaster owned you in Brawl either. As your mighty Pokemon leader I demand you play with us.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Kairyu's getting a little too excited over time trials. All I was doing was trying to unlock the expert staff ghosts and I somehow beat his slow times in the process. Anyways, if we keep racing eachothers ghosts then I'll never be able to steal your VR in the online racing mode. :3

I'll probably stop playing Mario Kart for a little while come tomorrow. The most epic game release is upon us this week. Metal Gear Solid 4 takes priority over everything else.

I was speaking idiomatically.

You can keep your high scores. =P I wasn't really planning on turning it into some huge competition. I figure why waste time doing runs until you get them perfect when you can be pwning people online and building up your ranking. Besides, all the world record owners use Funky Kong and that annoys the hell out of me for some reason.

I'll try to play online the next few nights. I don't wanna rush through MGS4 as fast as I did the cups in MK considering this game was a long time in the making.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I thought there wasn't any cheating devices for the wii yet. Maybe he's running a modified ISO of the game on a modded wii. This shit was bound to happen sooner or later. I liked the VR system but it seems pretty useless now with the disconnect trick and cheaters around.

FELIPE NO

You guys will have a weekend of hacker free racing. I, on the other hand, will be glued to my 47 inch 1080p widescreen TV which would be getting fed video via HDMI cable by my PS3 running one of the most impressive looking games in the world: Metal Gear Solid 4. Plus the game experience itself is quite thrilling.

If I stop playing Mario Kart for too long I'll get rusty at it. Plus I'm still kind of waiting for the other 20 people I added to add me back. I only have 4 people actually 100% registered on my buddy list. I take it at this point most people are tired of playing it except for the hardcore players.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
