By the way, the first tournament is underway for MK Wii. It ends tomorrow. More than anything it's like saying who's the best at a slot machine Some of the times on the ranking board seems impossible though.

Apparently Gamespot rated the game a 9.5, but they said it was a "bug" and raised it to a 10.0

I wonder if he'll do one for MK Wii. I wanna hear what he has to say about the game's AI, lol.

IIRC, Youtube doesn't like .mov and .avi files, so that's probably why it was off-sync.

Probably because of the amount of videos that are constantly being uploaded to Youtube a minute. Just a guess.

After you played for a while, you'd see that CPUs generally run in the same route on a track. You could then place a banana peel/green shell at that spot, and you would hit someone every time. CPUs only used their character specific items. Mario's and Luigi's star power didn't even make them go faster. No CPU had access to lightning bolts. You're right, CPUs did ignore things like character stats such as acceleration, but they didn't always keep up with you. On a lot of tracks, you could get a pretty big lead and keep it. While SNES MK did have some rubber-banding, it's no where near as harsh as it is currently But anyway, has anyone played much online? Nintendo did such a good job. I also loved how I got a friend request on the Wii message board. Not having to input a code to add my friend? Awesome!

I've actually been using the wheel the whole time. Works pretty well IMO.

SNES Mario Kart didn't have rubber-banding. Well, it had one case. If a CPU got hit by something and another CPU with less points passed that CPU, then the CPU with the higher points would pull back ahead.

Yeah, try coming in first place every race when playing 150cc. You can't really try, you just have to hope. Besides, I wasn't saying that I want to come in first all the time.

No, you get a boost faster if you lean into the drift more.

You're not a sore loser. It's how I feel too. For some reason Nintendo has something against people that are good at their games. Look what they did to Brawl. They made it so beginners can have the same level of playing field against an expert. For some reason they think this makes it so every one is having fun. Well, to me it's not fun when you're getting robbed of the victory that should be rightfully yours. It's definitely not fun when you're about to win, and the game is basically like "screw you" for doing well in the race. In 5 seconds you get hit by a blue shell, a red shell, and a lightning bolt.

Sorry, it just never really got my interest and the only PS2 I've owned is a Japanese one.

My friend got Mario Kart Wii tonight, and I have to say I'm disappointed. It was fun for a little bit, but then it was just annoying since it's so luck based. The game does look great though, and I love the stages. It seems that Nintendo doesn't like people that are good at their games, so they want to give everyone a chance to win at least once Guess I'll just have to play it some more.

I guess I'll be finding out what exactly is so great about GTA games. GTA IV will be my first GTA title.

I'm pretty sure I remember them saying after MP3, they were done with Metroid.

Shall we post this image again?

Yeah, I meant to say another TV series.

Wow, they really want to revive this character badly. Not only is Earthworm Jim coming to VC, but a 4th title has been announced along with a TV series and feature film. http://money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/articles/prnewswire/200804221628PR_NEWS_USPR_____CLTU149.htm

Capcom is offering to replace the cover for Okami for the Wii. They even have 2 different covers to choose from over the original. Pretty sweet. http://www.capcom.com/artredemption/

PC just because you can use keyboard/mouse.

I never played the first one, but I really enjoyed the second one

A DS Golden Sun game coming in the future? We can only hope so. http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=133982

Sucks that it's the Genesis version, so that means crappy sound :[
