Is it online? I can't remember if that was confirmed or not.

Yeah it's online, and should be significantly better online than off because everyone will be human instead of most of them being CPU.

Online matchups takes about 1 minute to set up. It's amazingly fast and is very fluid. I played 3 hours of races (one after the other), 3 days in a row and i was on a skype call at the same time and never hit a single blip. That said, we don't have brawl so i don't know how it will play out for you guys.

I said this since MK64 and i'll say it again: Rainbow Road should come with an epilepsy warning.

Uhh, wait on Rainbow Road of the 64 game is bad? I never noticed and it is my favorite level.

On 64 i can't play Rainbow Road without getting thumping headaches. It don't happen anymore, but i still think anyone who is photosensitive would hate that level.

Hm interesting, I don't know anyone who is photosensitive, so I have never seen someone complain.

LuigiHann · « **Reply #531 on:** April 17, 2008, 11:55:13 PM »

If you're photosensitive, you're supposed to ask you doctor before playing any video games. Has Nintendo really failed to hammer that information through our skulls?

Plugabugz · « **Reply #532 on:** April 18, 2008, 03:51:33 AM »

There is always one idiot in the world. At least one.

I'm grateful i don't get headaches over it now (it musta been me at the time), but i have a cute fondness for swearing at the tv when i'm losing miserably instead.

Word on the internets is that online play is smooth as silk, which I can come to a safe conclusion that this was made with online play in mind. Brawl... too many random factors to come to a solid conclusion.

I haven't checked the previous pages, has anyone gotten a rotten online experience?

ShyGuy · « **Reply #534 on:** April 20, 2008, 04:11:57 AM »

It's okay people, IGN gave it an 8.5! The 7.9 Double Dash Debacle can finally be laid to rest.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #535 on:** April 20, 2008, 05:20:53 AM »

Does it have custom kart skins?

ShyGuy · « **Reply #536 on:** April 20, 2008, 05:30:05 AM »

I has BabyDaisy This may confuse you and possibly put your DNA in a public database.

No. I've played more than 50 times and had no bum matches.

IGN UK gave it 8.9.

Nobody cares about the IGN UK

Just kidding, God save the Queen.

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".

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.

Kairon · « **Reply #540 on:** April 20, 2008, 09:09:50 PM »

I like the fact we can use AI bots in the multiplayer modes.

I doubt Ninty would have the highest speed/difficult setting in a more casual-oriented "check this game out" type of session...

They actually had the game as was, I was able to tweak the options as I desired. Addtionally, IGN stated the online runs in 50cc. Its definitely been slowed down.

On the other hand though, the wheel felt real nice and responded well. I've give The Big N credit for that.

The online isn't 50cc, it's whatever mode you've just done in single player. So with a bunch of players who've beaten the game, it'd be 150cc. IGN exposed as non-gamers.

Dasmos · « **Reply #546 on:** April 22, 2008, 06:28:25 AM »

Sorta wondering why there is no FC thread yet or is the game not officially released until it's out in the US?

Who needs a friend code thread, just add everyone to your Wii's friend list and invite them through the Mario Kart Channel.

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.

Something about that ad made me very uncomfortable......
