Why does not a single Wii game have wireless LAN play yet? Is it not possible?

It was an option in the G|C06 version of Battalion Wars II, though it's not included in the final version.

I wonder that as well, also why didn't they release a first party VGA Cable for the system. The Wii would be perfect for LAN gaming.

Looks like Mario Kart requires an update. No word about it nuking Freeloader, I'll definitely be checking that out when we get it in the shop on Wednesday.

It's out in Germany in many places, my friend have bought it this evening

SPOILERS...Most likely new character confirmed:

http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u...rtle/funky.jpg

ITS FREAKING FUNKY KONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why would there be a stadium without the character?

Most Likely confirmed! w00t!

I want all the other characters already!

Also this reconfirms that my guess roster is right or close to it:

Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Baby Peach, Bowser jr.

Toad, Toadette, Koopa, Dry Bones

Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy

Yoshi, Birdo, Diddy, Rosalina

Wario, Waluigi, DK, Funky Kong

King Boo, Bowser, Petey, R.O.B.

^^Above is my guess roster I made, when King Boo was confirmed and I got the roster's layout. Every character is connected with another one...of course I could be wrong so who knows?

OK above these charaters are not confirmed: Bowser jr, Birdo,Petey,R.O.B.,Dry Bones. all other characters are confirmed to be in.

So that means theres 5 more secret characters...

[fernoca]

Nice..just like I thought..(hoped) an actual game case, not a sleeve!! :)

Yeah, please post your findings (you were probably going to anyway), it'd be a huge help to us freeloader folks

[jts]

Lol how could you expect less, you're buying the freaking game and it comes with a wheel, not the opposite (Zapper).

[evilromero]

That shit be tight. So here in the states do we get Mario Kart Wii on Sunday or is that the ship date? It seems odd that they'll releasing it on a Sunday like Brawl.

[Milabrega]

It seems odd that they'll releasing it on a Sunday like Brawl.

Most major retailers have been holding their Wii shipments until Sunday to coincide with their weekly ad circulars.

[painey]

I found it strange the TV adverts all have people playing with Wiimote and Nunchuck rather than using the Wii Wheel.

[Zek]

Various character confirmations:

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/0803/poke50uk/
http://s184.photobucket.com/albums/x...MKWii%20doods/ (being updated)

Rosalina
"Bowser Bones" (ala New Super Mario Bros)
Funky Kong
King Boo

Diddy Kong is a safe assumption.

[LOCK]

Must buy confirmed.

NoJ am sad.

One funny thing in "Iwata Asks" about MK Wii was that, after all the Kenichiro Ashida's work in Japan to develop a nice wheel for the game, going through 30 prototypes, Nintendo of Japan finally sent it to NoA and first email they got back was saying "HEY GUYZ CAN I PLAY WITH GAMCUBE CONTROLLER" lulz

So there.

[Azuran]

Various character confirmations: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/0803/poke50uk/ http://s184.photobucket.com/albums/x...MKWii%20doods/ (being updated) Rosalina

RGOTY confirmed.

[yoopoo]

Well the EU game ISO has been released. People are saying that the online play thus far has been flawless.

[Zek]

I don't think there's any reason to be paranoid about lag, the only game that's ever been a problem with was Brawl, for its own reasons. Even MKDS worked fine once you got in a game.

[Firestorm]

Are there people who seriously care about spoilers in this game?

[Jammy]

The unlockable characters seem great. There's some nice surprises in there.

This series has really changed a lot more than people think in the past few years.

[Rlan]

I hope Funky Kong has his fucking rediculous voice from Jungle Climber.

HEY MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIEEENNNNNNNNN

[WiiRevolution1]

22 of the 24 characters (NOt inluding Miis) Have been revealled:

Dry Bones
Dry Bones Bowser
Funky Kong
King Boo
Rosalina
Plus the other hidden characters weve known for awhile

Surce for new unlockables: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/0803/poke50uk/

The user plans to post the other 2 characters as soon as he can...I cant wait to find out who the last two are!!

DRY BONES I BACK HECK YEA!!!

Man that's got to annoy some long time Mario Kart fans

[HK-47]

Seriously what is this?

Baby Daisy!? Fuck your shit Nintendo

oh jesus christ.....

this is just getting pathetic now nintendo

[MrCheez]

Baby characters are so awful, what were they thinking :(

However the addition of Funky Kong and Rosalina is pretty awesome. Undead Bowser seems like such a strange choice, but he looks pretty badass...

However I just hate when characters that technically couldn't exist at the same time are all racing eachother :(

[Rlan]

Seriously what is this? Baby Daisy!? Fuck your shit Nintendo http://picasaweb.google.com/gohanric...30686478350642

HI I'M BABY DAISY

This shit stinks :|

[Caesar III]

It's out in Germany in many places, my friend have bought it this evening

I'll check it out in a few hours, thanks. Now I'm going crazy and I hope they have it TODAY already ;)

[MrCheez]

You know who would have been so f'in awesome in this game (instead of a bunch of baby characters)?

KAMEK!!!!! Especially since he was originally planned to be in Mario Kart 64 :P

[CreatureX3]

Awww, but she's so cute!

Uhh, nice. Where did they get it? I might check some stores out this evening.

[Milabrega]

Two more Unlockables:

Diddy Kong and Toadette

[dammitmattt]

It is completely awesome that people are spoiler-tagging characters in a Mario Kart game. COMPLETELY AWESOME, I say!

[WiiRevolution1]

Two more Unlockables: Diddy Kong and Toadette

OLD

Anywayz with all this.

It means theres 1 unlockable character left.

Please be R.O.B.! PLEASE!!!!

[CreatureX3]

I hope it's Baby R.O.B.!

[Milabrega]

I hope it's Baby R.O.B.!

It'll be Baby something thats for sure.

[MrCheez]

I hope it's Baby R.O.B.!

Or even better...

Baby R.O.B. Bones!

[Ariexv]

Instead of just throwing in a Baby version of half the characters in the game I wish Mario Kart would just pull a Smash Bros and throw in all the different Nintendo characters.

[CreatureX3]

Or even better... Baby R.O.B. Bones!

Or how about Dark Baby R.O.B. Bones?!

[pulga]

I don't fucking care how many baby characters the game has, I'm just happy Dry Bones is in!

[Zek]

It'll probably be Birdo.

But Kamek deserves it. He's been waiting for this since he got robbed in MK64.

[Rlan]

The only character without a counterpart is King Boo

Therefore it's SURELY God damn Petey Piranha

Why did they go for Bone Bowser?? Wouldn't WART WART WART be a better fit as a heavy?

Edit: Actually Yoshi hasn't got his own counterpart has he?

[crowphoenix]

Baby Daisy?

Damn it!

[layzie1989]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/08...g?t=1207629654 Man that's got to annoy some long time Mario Kart fans

that's the coolest fucking motorcycle i've ever seen...

[No Means Nomad]

King Boo riding a motorcycle down what looks almost identical texture-wise to Double Dash's Rainbow Road pretty much confirms to me that Nintendo has really just tossed out whatever they could cook up.

I think I'll pass.

can it is it time for the reggienotmyproblem picture?

[Windu]

Oh nice a real case, but didn't EU get a real case for Wii Sports? I'm predicting a sleeve for us Americans.

[E-phonk]

played it in a store, my god if this isn't the worst lens flare abusing game released in the last five years.. It's like the programmers just discovered the effect and wanted to show it off.

[Insaniac]

RGOTY confirmed.

I thought this was pretty obvious from the Iwata Asks.

[Jiggy]

You know, I like Daisy quite a lot. But Baby Daisy is just getting to the point of absurdity. :/ (As if Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, and Baby Peach weren't already, of course. If they really had to scrape the bottom of the barrel that much, why not just unofficially turn the series into Nintendo Kart and be done with it? They already brought in Funky Kong and Diddy Kong. Just put in Link and Zelda, or whatever. I doubt anybody would complain, and they'd be a lot better than the babies. :/


Edit: Oh hey, beaten by miles to the same idea by Ariexv.
