anthonium

I've been playing the game for hours today. I love pretty much everything except one thing: the stages. Must almost ever stage be shape shifting?! I find myself playing the melee stages more instead of the new ones. Other than that I like the game even though I find the AI (normal) a lot more challenging than the one in melee.

I've been playing for a while now. The game is pretty good but it's not really that different to me though. It just feels like the same game (somewhat) except with more things. It still feels a bit weird to me. Perhaps it is the slower speed that I'm not yet used to but I'm sure with more time with the game that'll change. Anybody want to play online some time just add me and send me a message with your number so I can add you as well.

The black is just so you can see the rounded edges. I decided to go with the black scan line like credit cards have but I could change it around to have a barcode instead. I personally like it with the black scan line. I also made two different front faces for the card. Couldn't decide which I like better.

Haven't worked on the back but this is what I got:

My name is Antonio, some call me Anthony, I majored in Biochemistry, thought of element names...and so anthonium was born. The End.

Mr Rogers rocked but there's no way I can wear a sweater. I live in South Florida. I'd die. Also that's my birthdate as well.

Well that's good to know. I guess I'll go right when the store opens though since I've been waiting forever to play it but I'm glad I don't have to get in a line real early to do so.

How sure is it that you will receive a copy of the game the day it launches if you pre-ordered it GameStop? I sure as hell am not going at midnight so I'm wondering if I should show up Sunday morning early before the store opens or do I not have to worry about it because I should 100&% get it since I reserved it?

You've all probably seen this already but I sure wish this had come out sooner. I think by the time it's released the Wii version will be out. XEzu1SLKB2c The official website: http://www.mariokartsource.com/

Perhaps topic creator can update the first post with all the information known so far on the game as well as new info that keeps coming? I think everything known so far can be found here: http://wii.ign.com/articles/852/852952p1.html Just to make it easier for those who don't know anything about the game yet.

Haha I love the guys sitting on the airplane wings shooting and the ones with the same skill level just ducking and shooting over a wall. It looks like it'll be interesting though the whole free aspect of it sort of makes me think the people playing it will be a bunch of idiotic little kids like the ones mentioned in the trailer. Anyway the game looks like it'll be fun and it'll have those mini transactions to buy different gear but supposedly that won't exactly make you a better player than others with the default stuff. I look forward to trying it out. Hopefully it'll allow a ton of people in a server. Great presentation on this trailer.

I still don't like the idea of using motorcycles in the game. It's called Mario Kart. Hell I could hardly accept the mini car looking karts in Double Dash. I wish it would just be karts, normal and simple but anyway I suppose if done right it won't be so bad. 8 player battle mode sounds awesome as well as 12 player online racing. Here's hoping the game is nothing like Double Dash especially with the ridiculous AI.

Animal Crossing Bought it used at Blockbuster, went home, played it for 2 hours, went back and returned it. The guy gave me a full refund and was like "I knew you'd be back with it". Mario Kart - Double Dash Played it, beat it, hated the AI, multiplayer sucked, got bored with it in two weeks and traded it at GameStop. The guy there said a lot of people had come to trade it. That's about the only two purchases I ever regretted. I recently bought Endless Ocean for the Wii and thought I'd regret it but fortunately after playing it for a good while I got really into it.

Pay for play? No thanks. I hope Mario Kart Wii or any Nintendo game won't use this.

Personally I've felt EA has screwed up the Command and Conquer franchise which is why I fear them acquiring anything else. Also despite many hating EA, they're still successful. Could it be the haters still buy their games regardless?

They pretty much said no for now, but still plan to make discussions with EA later on. Link to full press release: http://ir.take2games.com/ReleaseDetail.cfm?ReleaseID=295739

I don't know if this has been asked before but I wanted to make sure. Does this game have the option for different save profiles? Say a friend wants to play and wants to unlock his own things can he save in a different profile?

Have any of you read the most recent Mario Kart info? For the full article: http://wii.ign.com/articles/852/852952p4.html

I though that was pretty...stupid actually.

This is awesome. I love the Red Alert series. I guess no more Yuri but a good thing considering he had many advantages in Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge. I would think it's the latter being Red Alert (Remember FMVs with Einstein?). I actually like the visuals. I played some of C&C3 and although it looked great there was too much to look at in my opinion. I think this "cartoony" style suits Red Alert.

It's not instant. It takes a while. Give it 6 months.

Though I pretty much understand how to build a computer now, I do find it a bit boring and a bit of a hassle to go looking for everything I need. In other words this is good for the lazy. I would actually take you up on that if I lived nearby.

I don't know if this is old or not but for any Metroid fans out there I came across this the other day: Custom Samus Action Figure Very awesome. His flickr has more shots: http://www.flickr.com/photos/12421933@N05/ He's made 6 of them and is selling them on ebay. He still has 2 left to sell but it seems they are going for around $500.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=160205144114&Category=348&_trksid=p3907.m29

Well I was putting off pre-ordering Smash Bros Brawl because I figured there'd be enough but the attention it has gotten has been more than I expected so I went to GameStop and pre-ordered it. According to the guy working there, over 200 people have pre-ordered the game just in that store, and there's like 4 other Gamestop stores nearby. I'm glad I reserved it.
