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

FRIEND CODE LIST HERE!

Anyway, EU/AU get the game first before US because Nintendo screwed them by not releasing SSBB until 2009 or something...


...and a list of "features" (or ignore everything I say and just watch a video preview here):
- Five Controller Schemes: Wii Wheel, Wii-mote, Classic, Gamecube, Wii-mote + Nunchuck.
- Play as yourself in your Mii form (or any Mii that you created/downloaded from the Check Mii Out Channel).
- There's kart AND motorcycles.
- Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection for online racing, battles, ghost data, ranks and league (Duh! Nintendo would be stupid not to include Wi-Fi and it seem it will be better online game than SSBB!)*.
- 32 Tracks and 10 Battle Stages.
- YOU CAN DO STUNTS!
- Oh, you can't "snake" in the game. Nintendo removed it. It's more of "the longer you hold/powerslide the more boost you get".

*MKWii will be installing a Mario Kart Channel for the online part. You can quicky add Friend Code without launching the game itself, see if any of your friend online and racing/battling, download ghost data and see ranks. The league part might be a rumor as I didn't hear any more info about it.

I have to say, for the online part, it's looking pretty good and surpass SSBB online by a landslide. I heard that you can text chat with friends while setting up a room to get the race/battle going. You can join in a middle of a race and/or watch current race. The best part of all IMO, unlike SSBB, if one person lag, other player won't suffer in a race/battle... but then you'll get your usual "jumping around" karts.

I don't know what else to add/comment. JP/EU is getting on the 10th/11th, AU on 24th and US on the 27th. I'm going to spoil myself by playing the JP version first and I know for sure I won't get the US version until a week later after it release.

Discuss! >_>

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Like I said MKWii online shouldn't be as bad as SSBB since it doesn't need precise syncing/timing on everybody and it's great that you can race up to 11 other people (12 total). I also heard that for online battle it needs to be a team of two player each. That would suck if there's an odd amount of player doing battle (unless they add a CPU player).

As for the controller, I'll try all to see which I like but most likey I'll end up uing the classic or GCN controller scheme.

How ya doing, buddy?

Yeah, I guess I jump the gun there. >_>

Update rumor: For online battle, instead of team of two player each, it's now 6-vs-6. The game is going to be release in JP/EU in a fweek... Why don't they just tell us everything?

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

Heh, the game is already leaked on teh interweb. >_>

First impression? Well I didn't do much because a bunch of my online friend just want to get online and do some racing and battles. I only play with the GCN controller so I can't say much now except like it was expected: gimped ...well if you don't mind doing tricks then GCN or classic controller is your friend. My brother did try with the remote and said it plays a lot like Excite Truck but he didn't get a chance to do any tricks.

Online racing is just like MKDS... but it seems much more fun and that a second local player can join online too. I kept thinking that I could "snake" in some course *coughDScoursecough* but realized it's gone. I'll miss it but still enjoy the gameplay.

Online battle... This just tops it. It was missing from the DS and having a bunch of other people from across the world makes it exciting and fun! Now I don't have to relay on my cousin to play battle mode!

As for lags? Well there's always lag... but it isn't the same kind of lag that you'll get from a certant "fighting" game because of it's nature. So my online experience was "lag-free".

I'll have moar impression as I progressive through the game.

Oh, Mario Kart Wii game audio rip anyone? lol

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

I'll would rip it in vbr mp3 but right now I'm putting it on hold. As Basil PMed me about it I just found out that some music have more than 2 channels and in_cube doesn't play it at all. So I'm waiting for hcs64.com to either have a fix for in_cube or release their new and rework plugin vgmstream. Sorry.

Small Impression Update: Seems like you can do tricks using the GCN or classic controller via D-pad. Also, unlike Brawl, I can use any controller scheme and each and everyone of them works out great. But if I have to put them in order, it would be: GCN, classic, wiimote/steering wheel then wiimote+nunchuck.

I was speaking idiomatically.

*bump*

I went ahead and did the rip anyway. You can find it here.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Nice to see someone posting their Friend Code. Hopefully more people will post their too since the game already release in Japan, Europe now Australia and over the weekend North America.

I'll post my FC as soon as I get my US copy.

FELIPE NO

Could someone make a wiki page for MKWii FC? I'm not sure how to make a new page... just know how to edit. lol >_>

And my Friend Code is coming soon too! I want to unlocked all course on my US copy first. XD

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

Here's a tip to "counter" the POW block:

Right when the POW block disappear/on it's 3rd "pow", shake the wiimote/press on any direction on the D-pad. If your timing is right you either don't spin out or spin out ONCE and won't loose speed but still loose any items you're carrying.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Since they use your Mii name for your profile I guess that should be included too. I named my Mii BigCN401 because who wants to know my real name?

And hopefully I can post my FC later tonight!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Here's my FC:
2191-8071-2297 (BigCN401)

I'll go add it to the wiki page and add everybody FC too.

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

I've added everybody who posted the FC so far.

I meet up and play with MrMonkeyMan a few moments ago... Pushing me off course while in the air HOW DARE YOU!

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

Fuck. My brother and I was enjoying a nice worldwide race with MrMonkeyMan and Tails a few moments ago until NWFC decided to kick us off. Now when I try to connect again it gives an error saying their "servers may be trying to handle an unusually high amount of traffic". -_-;

Yeah, you need your region save data of SMG to unlock Rosaline for MKWii. When I was playing the PAL version it didn't unlock her. When I put in my US copy she was unlocked right from the start.

Oh, I think I need to add a couple of more FC. I couldn't add them because NWFC keep kicking me out throughout today.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I'll most likely be available so sure, count me in!

FELIPE NO

If you guys are still on I'll join.

And I'll add you Max Biggs, both wiki and game.

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

Okay, so now we know if there's three people in a room and the host choose to play battle, one person is going to get screwed aka no CPU. lol x_x

Geez Kairyu, either you're really good or I'm just terrible tonight. I guess I cannot sit at the computer while playing at the same time. lol

Anyway we should all REALLY set up a time so we can have more than 3-5 player online. The game isn't fun without MOAR people throwing items at each other.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It's one of my favorite track. I kept picking it because the randomizer hasn't picked my track yet. When both of you left it finally did and so the next round I picked my OTHER favorite track. XD

Heh, it's okay. My brother and I was playing with other friends in worldwide match... for 5 hours. lol @_@

I'm not Japanese but I'm close to three star rating... but I know I'll never get to 9000+VR. >_>

Oh! Don't forget the GOLD WII WHEEL! I'll never going to get that!

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

I've seen it on Japanese/other player plenty of times. The gold wii wheel with three star rank will be together... well more like the three star will be on top of the gold wii wheel.

Most amazing jew boots

Added, done and now joining you in regional VS race. XD

How ya doing, buddy?

*looks at time* I'll be on... in about 5-10 minutes. lol

In my Wii Message board all you see is "Mario Kart Wii" and "Smash Bros. Brawl" listed one after another with a total time of 10 hours. Geez I play ALOT on Sunday.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

LOL. I thought you "left" because I got first place and pissed you off.
At other times, whenever I race against you in Moonview Highway I'm always getting hit by cars, trucks and stupid bomb-on-wheel-that-shouldn't-be-on-the-road-anyway-but-hey-it's-mario-kart! It's like you curse/jinx me on that track. lol

As for what kart (or bike) I use, it's Yoshi and the standard kart. But I'm "experimenting" with other characters and karts/bikes too like Baby Daisy with the Blue Falcon. >_>

FELIPE NO

Too bad it can't protect us against banana peels, fake item boxes and various colored shells ._.

OF COURSE I KNOW!
But people are mean and WILL start bumping into you to go into incoming traffic, especially heavy kart/bike player. @_@

It has to be ALL MODES. ie. If you get one star in everything except for one cup in one of the mode you won't get that star next to your name.

EDIT: Geez I'm one minute too late. You can't win at everything Kairyu! ;p

ADDITIONAL SPAM: Heh, MrMonkeyMan, a couple of people from #PocketMonster and my brother and I had a Friend VS race and Battle. Good thing VR isn't counted or else I'll loose so much. lol
Too bad the disconnection screw up the game twice. I was having so much fun.

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

Fuck. I'm getting bad luck in MKWii online today. Not only I get screwed/loosing point just for being 3rd place and under but I keep getting disconnection (which Nintendo will penalized you EVEN WHEN THE DISCONNECTION IS NWFC FAULT!). My VR drop down from 8600ish to 7600ish within a HOUR!

I'm going to remind myself NOT to play on a Tuesday. ;_;

Jam it back in, in the dark.
