I've played through a few cups on 50cc (2 new, 1 retro) and I beat the first level in Missions with at least 2 stars in each and I'm loving it so far. I can't wait to play online.

Thanks. I'm not familiar with that one though I've been to the Walmart out there plenty of times. I'll have to look it up and head out there after I get off work.

Edit: They're holding one for me! The next 3 hours are going to drag.... :(

Gamestop in the Midway told me I could pick it up tomorrow morning too. That preorder can go to Sonic Rush, I need Mario Kart tonight!

has anyone had any luck at Future Shop finding it?

I called both Future Shop (on Kennedy) and Best Buy (next to Scarborough Town Centre and at Markville) this afternoon and neither had them so I bought it at the TRU at Markville for $35 CAD + tax.

BTW I just took some time making my avatar into my emblem. :D

I went to the TRU in Kingston and surprisingly they had tons of copies. I got it for C$35 thanks to their great sale they're having.

I've only played one race in 50cc so far and it's unbearably slow. I'm going to jump to 100cc as soon as I finish this cup.

I just checked and didn't see any where to change the language in the game. I'll try changing my DS' language in the system setup and see if it changes anything. Just let me finish the grand prix I'm in now.

Haha, just saw a Wal-Mart ad for MKDS. Almost 60% gameplay footage, looked real nice...

Plus they pushed the multiplayer, not too shabby.

c'mon MKDS, don't suck!

Alright, thanks.

It would be stupid if the US version lakced the languages when the EU versions is shipping a week later.

Okay, I changed the language in the DS' system setup to Spanish and all the menus in MKDS are now in Spanish.

Yes!

Thanks for looking into this.

And thanks Nintendo for including it as well, although its a strange way of doing it...

It doesn't seem that strange once you think about it. If you set the language of your DS to something then it's a pretty good bet you want all your games to also be that language.

Well, some games I prefer in english (asphalt) and some spanish (mario kart)

Incidently:

Plan De Guadalupe, MX 127

Redmond, WA 126

Random!

I hope Nintendo expands these stats. Top 20 cities, top 5 cities by region (canada, US, central america etc)

I love stats.

Sadly, they don't work as well as one would like. Maybe me and my N-Sider buddies have been suffering from router incompatibilities or something, but getting 3+ people together has proven to be pretty tough.

I just called Target and got the worst service ever. I could hear the stupid bitch talking to the manager about how to search for a game, she kept saying Mario "Brawthers" for the nintendo ds........ NO MARIO KART YOU FUCKTARD.

Anyway. The only words coming to mind right now are offensive to all ages.

Nintendo never ships games to arrive in stores on Mondays. No one should have really expected to get it today, outside of great luck or a miracle or some such.

I'd be curious to try the Friend Code thing later, then. I set my MK to automatically flag me when my friends come online. I just don't have any friends with codes yet.

RE: Mario Kart Tournament (N-Sider
Hey guys, I'm just giving a little update on the tournament regitration:

1) So far, 46 people have registered, ONLY 14 have done it correctly - the MARIOKART FRIEND ID we ask for, that's the 12 digit ID, not "I_LOVE_STEPHANIE_RHODES" or something stupid like that.

2) forum name? N-Sider forum name, not forum name everywhere.

3) Registration Deadline is December 1st.



So yea, if you guys are registering, please make sure you have all the required info, or you'll be DQ'd

edit: most Canadian EB's got MarioKart today, mine did.

Anyone else getting dropout errors?

Thanks again! I managed to grab a copy right before they closed!

I really wish I could set accelerate to B and item use to Y. My hand is killing me after a few races. I've never had a problem with any of the DS games I've played.

Oh well, I'll get used to it. Mario Kart online!

Bitches who disconnect after losing the first race are bitches. Dude was 1 for 5 too, according to his ranking. Punker.

Good, I need 'em. :)

Having my Linksys router in "mixed" mode (meaning, B and G modes) shouldn't affect anything, right?

Weapons with L too. Not just X
Click to expand...

I know, but it's not the weapons position I can't stand, it's the accelerate button. Would fit my hand much better if I could change it to B. I use L for weapons either way. With A I end up holding down the X button on accident which screws up weapon throwing.
