If this deal doesn't go through for something else I'm looking at; then I'll be buying it this Sunday

I'll be picking this up for sure since I'm a Mario Kart whore.

HAH managed to get my hands on it last night from walmart

[DONOTBAN]

Mario Kart N64....I will own you all

[siberian57]

Who else has it? I gotta admit, the game is a lot of fun. I can't play online (internet problems) but next weekend I'll be able to. Is anyone else playing online?

[wshadow]

well if its worth it, ill go get the game. for the internet, do you need to have a subscription or does wii just use any internet provider?

[siberian57]

nah you just connect to your router and you're good to go. theres no online fee like xbl or anything like that. I mean I'm easily amused with these games lol but I think it's fun.

[smoger]

it's a GREAT game. i havent tried online yet, but it will be great.

it's mario kart ds without snaking. its basically perfect

[siberian57]

It makes a fun party game too with a bunch of people. I like how you can enter tournaments and such, I wonder if it will carry over to MLG.

[wshadow]

sounds cool. ill post back when i get it, and pick a name. thanks

[smoger]

ok so i checked out the online a bit last night and it's really great. once you add your friends, you can cycle through them and see if they're online. when you select them, you see their Mii standing on the globe in the location they connect from, which is cool because you have a visual representation of where everyone is from, AND it keeps score between each friend, which is awesome.

[siberian57]

how is the ranking system. is there any lag online

[smoger]

didn't get that deep into it,.. but i did see a screen where it shows a chart of course times, and shows everyone's mii's at the time they hit, so you can quickly see where you rank. i'll take a closer look at it tomorrow night
