Hate to break the news guys, but this game is going to be a GIANT turd. Check out the way this thing actually plays. Once you subtract the hype, its just another botched movie game.

Um, you do realize that there is one staff member who has played the game and offered impressions which mentions the good and the bad, right?
Most of the hype comes from the surprisingly good impressions Mr.Jack has posted and while in the end he and Kairon might be the only one liking the game in the end I doubt Jack would hype up a game as being good when it really isn't.
Tricks seem hard to do, is anyone else having a problem? Can the describe for me how to better do them with the wheel? thank you.
"Clayfighter, clay, clay fighter!!"
Finallly!
That toy... in your signature. I had that toy. What is it?
Here is my take on the Blue Shell. The blue shell only starts to cause problems in the last leg of the last lap in a race. People typically only complain about the blue shell when they get hit right before the finish line. It is annoying to have to redo whole circuits because of it and it never ceases to frustrate me when it happens. If there wasn't rubberband AI it wouldn't really matter at all, but being that there is, a blue shell is pretty much instant loss if it hits you near the end of the race.
I think the solution to the whole Blue Shell debate is not as simple as take it or leave it. The blue shell is a vital part of races; if it was to be removed, I can almost guarantee races would not feel the same. Leaving it the way it is clearly isn't working either though, so why not make a compromise?
Lets say that Nintendo transparently changed the randomization of items so that when any racer crosses a certain point on the track in the last lap, blue shells can no longer come up in an item block for anyone. Now this wouldn't stop people who have been hoarding one, which I think is alright because they would have turned down other items in order to do so; it would also make it so that the probability of getting nailed by last place at the finish line was extremely low.
Not sure if everyone agrees with this, but it seems to satisfy both camps IMO.
I saw the commercial last night. It's not a "Wii would like to play" ad. Apparently Nintendo's going back to their incomprehensibly weird commercials now.
Nintendo came to Denver today with a truck full of Mario Kart Wii. After spending some time w/ the wheel and the game, I can sum it up with this: "Mario Kart Wii is gimped, but still walking and a decent time".What cc was it?
There's a lot I could gripe about but my biggest complaint is racing against humans online or off is just so slooooow. It really feels like gong through mud unless you hit a power arrow or take a shroom.
Its a pity The Big N didn't spend more time w/ it. I'll still have fun w/ it I'm sure, but it could have been so much sweeter.
I doubt Ninty would have the highest speed/difficult setting in a more casual-oriented "check this game out" type of session...
