Little known fact: Since Rosalina is spacefaring, she uses a nuclear reactor as her power source, and radioactive materials are HEAVY.

Instead of turning to Friends lists and fat chicks, this thread should go back to pretending to see Waluigi as an essential character.

i can think of much fatter characters. in this game. multiple ones. whatever character class they might be.

Waluigi is Monica. A total jerk.

Except people actually like Waluigi.

Honey Queen looks like Dry Bones compared to Rosalina.

 

[DownWithTheShip]

Fist bump?

Did the same, but my wife doesn't know. Her original DS phat is literally falling apart, held together pretty much by the wires at this point. She won't give it up, and I just didn't see the point in getting her another DS. She can still play all her games on her new 3DS, turn the 3D off (which she hates from playing on my system), and we can enjoy MK7 together (hopefully).

*Fist bump*

She wanted me to wait until xmas to give it to her. I said "Ok, but i'm getting it on the 4th. If you want me to play it for 20 days before you, and have an advantage when you finally do get it, then that's ok with me". Now she wants it on the 4th.

whatever. keep going on about the female characters weight like it does anything other than make you look a bit of a misogynist.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Rosalina is so fat that she got on the scale and it read "NO WALUIGI TIME THIS TIME LOL".

 

[udivision]

Why do you keep taking me seriously?
Let me guess, you're actually offended by the thread title or something? And I thought the Honey Queen commment would make things a little more obvious...

 

[Tenck]

We're on page 9 buddy, get it right.

 

[plagiarize]

Why do you keep taking me seriously?

because whether you're being serious about women's weight, or joking about women's weight doesn't really change how you come across. a handful of short replies from me is hardly 'serious'. you should see the length of my posts when i'm really up to speed.

 

[Tenck]

Shhhh. You guys hear that? It's the sound of you guys being quiet and leaving poor Rosalina alone.

She's a heavy character in MKWii, and who cares. She's the best character ever!

Anyone who disagrees is oblivious to facts!!

No, I think it does. Especially when it's a cartoon video game character who doesn't have a weight problem and it's being played for laughs, i.e. the thread title.

EDIT: Okay, this conversation probably shouldn't be going on...

 

[EvilMario]

Rosalina actually sat on Waluigi killing him.

Spoiler

Dry Waluigi

I guess that'd be in the.... Blooper Reel. hahaha

For those interested, the famous mini Wheel will be available in Europe on launch day.

28th November, 2011 – With the ability to drive underwater and glide through the air to find new shortcuts, all-new kart customisation options, online play, brand new and enhanced retro courses and fun new race modes, Mario Kart 7 for Nintendo 3DS offers something for every racing fan when it launches across Europe on 2nd December 2011.

Mario Kart 7 gives you the chance to make the Mario Kart experience your own, in a customised kart made to your specifications. Players can race on land, underwater or through the air using new abilities which have been introduced especially for Mario Kart 7. The gliders automatically deploy when you launch off a ramp, allowing you to fly through the air, or use the new ability to drive through water, giving you new ways to overtake your rivals no matter what the terrain.

Nintendo is also introducing four new characters to the Mario Kart roster. Play as Metal Mario, first seen in Super Mario 64 (Nintendo 64), Lakitu, Honey Queen, the queen who ruled over the bees in the Super Mario Galaxy (Wii) series, and Wiggler, Mario’s iconic caterpillar-like enemy. In true Mario Kart tradition you can also choose to race as one of your favourite Mario characters, with popular characters making a special comeback in Mario Kart 7, including Rosalina, Daisy and Mario’s rival Wario. In addition to these well-known characters, players can use their own personal Mii character as their racer. This large choice allows you to choose your favourite character and tweak your kart to create a tailor-made racing experience.

Mario Kart fans will enjoy mastering the 16 new courses, including Piranha Plant Pipeway, Wario’s Galleon, Koopa City and Wuhu Mountain Loop, a rally course where you can race along an ‘A to B’ route, rather than the traditional three-lap route. Mario Kart 7 also includes some retro courses that fans will recognise, such as Mushroom Gorge from the Wii version and Luigi’s Mansion from the Nintendo DS version. Fans can look forward to mastering 32 courses, made up of 16 new and 16 remastered retro courses returning in Mario Kart 7, including shortcuts and features that utilise the new abilities to glide through the air and drive underwater.

Players can also unlock parts for their karts by collecting coins during their races. Each customisable part gives you a competitive edge when racing in the different environments. Build your kart from a combination of frame, wheels and - for the first time - glider. A selection of frames such as Growlster, Pipe Frame, Tiny Tug, Cact-X and Barrel Train can be added to a selection of wheels such as Slim, Slick, Wooden or Mushroom wheels to gain an edge over the varying terrains on the courses.

Mario Kart 7 brings together racers worldwide; simply connect wirelessly - locally or over the Internet - to race against friends and Mario Kart fans from across the globe. You can even construct your own Communities and define your racing mode and items, so you can play your way against your friends.

The StreetPass functionality of the Nintendo 3DS system allows you to exchange data from your game with other players, including: player profiles that show VS Rating, win and loss records and the number of coins you’ve collected throughout the game. With SpotPass enabled you can receive a variety of ghost data to race against, even allowing for a full eight-player race between you and the ghost data. All of these data will be available to players via the Mario Kart Channel within the game for all StreetPass and SpotPass users.

Other new features you can look forward to include the Lucky Seven item, a brand new power-up that grants the driver a ring of seven different items: the Green Shell, Red Shell, Dash Mushroom, Banana, Bob-omb, Super Star and Blooper. With this power-up you now have seven different items at your disposal, and you have control over which to use. Other new items available for the first time in Mario Kart 7 include the Fire Flower that allows you to throw balls of blazing fire at your challengers and the Super Leaf, which makes the fan favourite Tanooki Tail appear on the back of your kart to knock other drivers and items out of the way.

As an extra treat for Mario fans, if you pre-order a copy of Mario Kart 7 you can receive an exclusive Nintendo 3DS pouch with a Mario Kart 7 design. To claim your pre-order pouch simply place an in-store pre-order at GAME or Gamestation (note that this offer is not available for online pre-orders.)

Mario Kart 7 players can also purchase a Mario Kart 7 Wheel accessory for use with their Nintendo 3DS system. The Mario Kart 7 Wheel is sold separately to the game and will also be in stores across the UK and Ireland from 2nd December.

For more information about this and other features, you can now visit the official Mario Kart 7 website at http://www.nintendo.co.uk/mariokart7. Visit the Items section and challenge your friends ahead of the game's release!

 

[Shiggy]

So has anyone tried out that official Mario Kart 7 Wheel that's coming out in mid-December? (EU release: December 16)

 

[plagiarize]

that MK wheel is the dumbest idea ever. does the game at least rotate the image when you're steering with gyro like most smartphone gyro racing games?

 

[The Elite]

There is a wheel accessory for the DS?

lol

 

[POWERSPHERE]

Wow what a thread full of sad cunts. Shitty OP.

Nice to see another Mario Kart 7 fan. Very insightful look at the game.

 

[The Elite]

This thread certainly took a turn for the weird and disturbing.

It's one of the more unusual OT's I've read and I've read quite a bit of Halo: GAF threads.

 

[udivision]

I still think that "Double Dash Mode" should be in every console MK release, and Bikes should be in every MK release period.

 

[Gospel]

Lakitu is probably going to be the best character since he has goggles.

and if digimon has taught me anything, it's that the guy with the goggles is the best.

 

[marc^o^]

More intriguing are the Friends/Opponents and Communities options. The former keeps track of your record against everyone on your friends list, notching up a 'victory' if you finish ahead of them and a 'defeat' every time you don't. It also retains this data on everyone you've faced online recently (whether you're friends or not)

GAF community is going to be so awesome ^o^

 

[dr3upmushroom]

This is by far the worst OT I've ever read. Is there any precedent for aborting a shitty OT and starting a new one? Because damn, if ever a thread deserved it.

It would probably be good to prevent anyone with a Pokemon avatar from posting in the thread until the game is actually out to prevent a repeat performance of this one.

This is par the course for any thread with those people in them. It's full of inside jokes, subdued homoerotic tendencies, and semi-circular circle jerking.

It's just one of those things you come to accept when you read these threads.

I've never encountered this before. Do they migrate from game to game together or do they just coincidentally all like Mario Kart?

And if this is the second attempt at an OT I can't imagine what a clusterfuck of nonsense the first must have been.

The first was a premature creation by someone who wasn't assigned to do the OT.

 

[Phife Dawg]

ITT AIM messaging and weight discussions. Also everyone hates women and stuff, fancy words are abound.

Time to derail the thread to talk about a new game that comes out: Mario Kart 7.

Was posted in the Cheap-Arse-GAFer thread before but since you still get the pre-order pouch: Amazon.de has it for € 34,99.

I think they are a collective. And the first OT was actually pretty awesome if you look pass the people bemoaning the fact that the OT wasn't created by one of their collective. And it sounds kinda dickish, but it's the truth.

was the alternate banner in this one a 'premature creation' too?

I've read it's because of her height that Rosalina is in the heavy class.

thanks you thief

No, it's because she likes Judas Priest.

I came in here hoping to read some discussion and hype about Mario Kart 7, but I guess I'll be leaving now.

 

[Dr.Palutena]

This thread is depressing, can we all stop arguing over misogyny or which OT is better or persecuting members for liking a totally unrelated other game and actually talk about Mario Kart?
Is anyone up for some Mario Kart Wii later or something? I'm down for playing around 9ish EST .

 

[udivision]

The second step to getting back on track is discussion. Or we can go on admitting we have a problem for a page or so.

We've already determined that there aren't any secret, secret characters, right?

i haven't seen the bolded going on. no one is saying the people with pokemon avatars shouldn't like pokemon or are bad for liking it .

you know what would be condusive to a discusion about Mario Kart 7? an OT appropriate for it.
