Every time I try to play with ANY controller, that happens.

I can't say that hasn't happened to me.

It could be just luck (or people are out to get wheel racers) but

out of 40 races with a wheel, 20 have ended in item rape

out of 250 races with good old ♥wavebird♥, only 25 had item rape...

I refuse to play with any controller but the wheel! I am absolutely IN LOVE with it!

Maybe I just need to try more of the classic route, but man, im so surprised alot of people don't like it. Well actualy the only people who I know don't like it are alot of us internet nerds. Alot of my personal friends really really love it.

I'm still 100% wheel

Nintendo has hinted at the next competition

Looks pretty neat, like some kind of Galaxy boss battle. Time to add another 0.5 to the NWR review

I love the Wii Wheel. Best accessory ever!!!

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #756 on:** May 27, 2008, 05:36:34 AM »

I do it, it really is a lot of fun to use.

MarioRocks08 · « **Reply #757 on:** May 27, 2008, 09:47:28 AM »

Yeah, it really makes me feel like I'm in the game, even more so by playing with my Mii.

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #758 on:** May 27, 2008, 11:38:32 AM »

I love way the new drifting system feels with the wheel, also the addition of tricks and wheelies, you can really have to be doing something all the time and I love that.

MarioRocks08 · « **Reply #759 on:** May 27, 2008, 11:24:11 PM »

The drifting system is definitely different and it took a little while for me to get used to it. I think I got the hang of it now.

So I have been wanting this game since the begging of time, so here is a quick question since I am really broke, currently I have Dragon Blade, Super Paper Mario, Metroid Prime 3, and a few GC games I never play laying around the house, would it be worth it to trade these games in for Mario Kart, or should I go for Brawl instead?

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #761 on:** May 28, 2008, 11:47:25 PM »

skip brawl, finish prime, sell the rest

animecyberrat · « **Reply #762 on:** May 28, 2008, 11:54:17 PM »

I was thinking about that, cuz I still have Prime 1 for GC, but that was going to be one of the games I take into GS.

No save your money, maybe get rid of a couple of the GC games and Dragon Blade, but don't throw out your collection of good games like that.

I would have to agree don't get rid of those titles. You will regret it later on. The same goes for consoles and handhelds.

Is anyone else having a hell of a time introducing this to friends? It's downright depressing! First of all none of them really ever play Wii. So they are coming to this with a fresh slate. They all get frustrated and want a GC controller after only 2 races. The only guy who sticks to motion controls doesn't do well, and doesn't seem like he is having fun anyway. Even those with GC controllers don't seem to be having much fun once they get them.

Other then the real simple games like WiiSports, this seems to happen with a lot of my friends and Wii games.

Again it's downright depressing and I pretty much have to force my friends to play Wii. ****. Please try to be understanding and just explain to me some ideas rather than starting the paragraphs with something like "I don't have that problem."

I don't have the game (yet) but I was playing on a giant enemy crab projected screen the other night and people seemed to love it. In fact my woman has taken over the duty of trawling through the phone book in search of stores that have the game in stock.

Mario · « **Reply #767 on:** May 29, 2008, 05:46:02 AM »

Lots of stores in Sydney just got some big new Mario Kart shipments in today or yesterday bfs, so now might be a good time to check.

DaMan I think the problem is just your friends, you can't really change people, I know people like that and i've stopped bothering. I just play what the hell I want and they are like "what you playing. Mario Kart huh. cool". Then there's the people who will try anything and actually try to enjoy what's in front of them and they love most Wii games.

Also if you're just cruising around with 4 people it's not fun, you've gotta be competitive. The game wont bring the fun to you, try and get them into it.

Thanks Mario, hope some make it over my way!

I don't have that problem.

Actually I have experienced exactly this problem. Same scenario. Tried the Wii Wheel, didn't like it too much. Tried the GC controller, didn't seem to like it too much either. I think by the time I played with friends I was already too good for them to pose any real threat. So were about to abandon the game in favour of smash until somebody asked "What is team race?" "Say, I dunno?"

So we checked it out and never went back, it really is a lot less competitive in spirit and just a whole lot more fun. Just because you were 40 seconds in front, it doesn't mean your team do any good. Honestly the mode rocks and I can't believe I only just discovered this out about a week or so ago. So yeah, that's from personal experience. Don't know if it helps or anything.

Save my money, what money?! I have been unemployed for going on 2 years now, something better come up soon cuz this is ****. I have a pretty damn good resume at the moment and 3 different staffing agencies trying to find me a job, but dammit where I live the jobs just all up and went away.

Sure I can keep the five games I have left on GC, but when those games are Sonic Mega Collection, Mega Man Collection, Mega Man X Collection, Metroid Prime and Prince of Persia, I have to wonder, if keeping them really will make a difference. I mean if I haven't them in like the entire year and a half I have had the Wii, what makes me think I will go back and replay them now? Or ever? Also I have most of the Sonic games on Genesis or VC anyways so it's not like I am losing anything.

I just figured I really wanted to get a new Wii game and not have to wait till either A, the economy turns around and new jobs magically re-appear, or B, my birthday rolls around and I get a 9 month old game nobody is playing online anymore. Or C, sell the games I am not playing and when things turn around for me latter on, buy back the ones I miss.

Participating in an online race with Mario inspired me to use the Wheel.

animecyberrat · « **Reply #772 on:** May 29, 2008, 03:27:37 PM »

So GS wasn't willing to give me enough credit to buy the game so I am going to have to resort to alternative methods, I.E try the Pawn Shop next.

Morari · « **Reply #773 on:** May 30, 2008, 11:54:21 AM »

animaecyberrat: The job market has dried up everywhere. At least, it has in America. Besides, don't you have to pay employment agencies? Or at least, cut your initial income with them? That doesn't sound like a very wise move when you could just go out and look for the jobs yourself isntead of playing videogames.

animecyberrat · « **Reply #774 on:** May 30, 2008, 04:33:12 PM »

Not the ones here, they are all free. They are actually temp agencies, they send you out on a job and if you do a good job then the employer will decide to keep you on, it cuts out the interview process which I am not good at.
