Loved the original mario kart. Depending on how this reviews I might consider a Wii.

saba · 18-04-2008

Mario Kart = so many child hood memories!

SubNoize · 18-04-2008

let me know if wal is any good at it yeah?

Lokust · 18-04-2008

Original Mario Kart was like the best game ever during childhood.. I probably plan on getting this game but maybe not as soon as it comes out :P

Voodz · 18-04-2008

Heh yeah I remember Ghost Valley was my favourite track... So awesome sliding over the place.... Ahh the memories.

Though as a game I remember putting more hours into Goldeneye though. God it took ages to get all the cheats for Goldeneye on the N64.

how good was big head mode, being a young kid playing with my cousins N64 at their house, 4 player i would just **** my self laughing everytime a moron ran out from behind some where with a huge head.

Already have it, its pretty freaking awesome, there are some variations that I really like, shaking the wii-mote while airborne can be very tiring and quite a nuisance but it's worth the boosts when you land. Adding a option to auto-mini boosts or manually do it yourself is pretty stupid. Overall, its still the same Mario Kart but with new karts and MOTORCYCLES and 3-4 new gay items

AHAHAHA so hilarious. And they moved soooo slowly with these massive heads! Was so much fun. I remember also crouching and sliding along the ground, there was no crouch walk animation rofl.

Anyways Mario Kart if it is more of the same doesnt sound so appealing, though I guess there is only so much you can dow ith the franchise. Mario Kart 64 never really hit the same as Mario Kart but both were fun.

**DeSiRE** · 19-04-2008

mario karts probably the most intense game ive ever played with my mates...even better than nfs

Swordfish · 19-04-2008

ill be getting it, the online part looks great!

Bam · 19-04-2008

this really was the best game back in the day.. good old 64.. i still have my super Nintendo as well

Mould · 19-04-2008

Yep I'll be strolling into EB tomorrow and pre-ordering this shizzle. I can't remember my wii friends name pinto buddy but keen to play some MK with you over the net. My bro will join in 2. Fun times.

Also, is there a wii official steering wheel like the ones we'll be getting with MK purchasable soloey.

i believe so, i think you can get one in the wii sports pack - which comes with a tennis racquet etc. But solely not so sure.

Pinto · 20-04-2008

mould[bb] there is a steering wheel you can purchase which will be relseased for SALE @ the same time/shortly after the release (im pretty certain), if not then you can buy a cheap one off of www.dealextreme.com

also subnoize, you're a ****ing loser

Syn. · 20-04-2008

oh the memories.

i love the original. it will never die.

will definately get this.

diMsum · 21-04-2008

Double Dash was ****, but this looks ok, and even if the tracks are **** they added all the classic tracks, which will be absolute madness. I don't like how the newer ones have **** everywhere and all these jumps.

ivo · 21-04-2008

Have had it since the 18th, bloody awesome. Bazillions of tracks to relearn

The bikes are pretty trendy too

Oh and the game comes with a steering wheel (mine did). Pretty handy, but not completely necessary. I reckon it could've been a tad bigger, but opinions are opinions.

And am happy to report that online works just fine, dissapointed that theres no communication available, but its insta-12-player-mulitplayer

So yeah ya'll should've headed over to Australian/UK eBay and picked one up from their 11th release date

kotso · 22-04-2008

I might.

NITRO · 22-04-2008

Looks good....

Ill go and scam it off Swordfish

... Will be a cool experience

kotso · 22-04-2008

^^ haha why not go buy it?

JacksoN · 22-04-2008

Mate pre ordered it, ill be over there the second it hits his house. Looks like a mad game, bowsers castle is like, got jumps and tricks and ****..
