Meh, that's all from unreasonable motion control evangelicals. Motorstorm was unplayable with motion controls. True story.

Ok, I'll concede that I might be wrong. About Wii controls, that is. Sixaxis is useless.

Probably fucking not. It's been a mainstay in every game, console and portable iterations, for the final cup, or the last two cups, to be locked.
Then again, unless Nintendo Power is my savior, they took out 2p offline grand-prix, so fuck them unless it's in.
But as someone else said, we only get one Mario Kart per system. I'll either end up buying this or start visiting friends more often rather than have them come over. Or steal their memory data. Either way, this won't be day 1 for me until this is cleared up towards the positive. I don't even care about team play battle mode as I'm crazy and actually prefer it that way along with playing with more than four people, even if it takes CPU padding.

No local multiplayer GP is disappointing, but I feel that the optional CPÙs in VS more than make up for that. The CPUs were basically the only reason I used multiplayer GP in the previous Mario Karts, but now that isn't necessary.
The only real problem is that it won't be possible to unlock anything in the multiplayer, but that isn't too bad.

Seconding the Excite Truck love here, I gave it an awesome review (albeit quite late) as well.
Considering that I know how motion-control racing should be done, I'm very, very apprehensive about how it sounds Mario Kart Wii is doing it.

Ha! My boss would be angry if he knew I wasn't pimping his baby right now. But then I'd be a dirty viral marketer.
This thread is about the co-op travesty of Mario Kart Wii! We cannot stand for this injustice! Also, is Koopa Troopa in the game? Because if he is left out again...
Motion sensor driving using the wii remote works great for Excite Truck. If you think it doesn't, then you've either never played ET or you suck at the game. Such controls would work equally well for MK or quite frankly, all other driving games out there if the implementation was done right.
The only real concern is the lack of modes that people are talking about. MK needs more modes, it's a part of its charm.

Yep, tilt steering is universal for all vehicles, though obviously the bikes handle differently, so you'll have to adjust your steering accordingly (be it via the Wheel, the Wiimote, or a traditional analog stick).

so does the game only come with one plastic wheel? will they be sold separately, and for how much?

Here in Europe it's sold seperately for a price of 9,99 iirc (just under 10 for sure).talking head said:

Reggie needs to clone himself and make the clone adept at online infrastructure. WTF is with Nintendo? They need another guy like Reggie in the online department that can change the companies direction. Maybe like a mini-japaneses-Reggie who kicks ass online.
I say this because I give Reggie the credit with the improvements in marketing by NOA. And the companies online direction is dysfunctional. They need someone to tell them how to make online games. They just seem confused.

Can convert it with a translator site because its using adobe flash.

that would honestly be the biggest fucking omission in the history of god damn videogames

It would be nice to get Super Mario Kart on VC in the weeks leading up to this game's release. I'm having trouble getting hyped based on what we know about the game now.

Not quite. Nintendo has yet to upload any SNES games that utilized special chips (in Super Mario Kart's case, the DSP-1) although one looks to be on the way (Kirby's Dreamland 3). Besides Nintendo might hurt sales of MK Wii being that SMK's awesomeness is not bound by space and time.Jaded Alyx said:
