You sound like a fanboy.  Games > Console.  If a console doesnt have the games you want, why bother?

Can anybody attest as to how that odd wiimote add-on controls? Is it pretty poor or does it actually work well? I'm not too sure if I want to play the game using it. The tracks actually do look more interesting than DD. I felt that game had some of the least interesting in the series, but still enjoyed them.

I was watching some reviews online and everybody seems to be using the gamecube controller. I heard that the wiimote isn't too bad, though.
The thing that is really interesting me about the game is the online play. Nintendo seems to have actually got it right this time, other than the lack of voice chat.  I'm considering picking the game up in a few weeks.

Man rami is gay and bought this and this game looks gay.

That's right I said gay I am calling a game sexually attracted to men.

He even bought an extra wheel thinking I'd play this with him, what a sucker. Thinking I would play this game for free... that was a mistake.

Now by that do you mean gay in a cheerful manner or gay in the manner DS described? I really don't want to drop $50 on a game that could potentially sodomize me when I'm not willing..

Well you know butt sex is pretty awesome if you can just relax and let it happen to you so maybe you shouldn't worry about it too much.

hmmm...I'll probably wait for the reviews before I buy [if ][/if]. I think Australia gets it earlier than the US anyway, but I'll have to check that.

Don't buy this game. I seriously can't even remember when I last bought a game that I regretted buying before Mario Kart Wii. This game is so average and not refreshing at all. I admit that there are some new stages that have better design and feel more interesting, but that's all there's to it really. The wheel controller was fun for about 15 minutes and then it got boring.

I don't see how this game's got as high reviews as it does. It's seriously a very mediocre game.

big thanx to dragonslayer for sig!

Thats your opinion. Me? Well to tell you the truth, I had fun with it. There are much more online oppertunities than the DS mario kart such as battle mode, which fans dreamed of playing online. Its no Brawl, but the game is very addictive. Racing controls with the steering wheel are perfect, but personally I use the gamecube controller due to the fact that I am better with it(not that I am bad with the wheel). Tracks are designed really well with some having multiple paths and such. The addition of bikes was a nice feature too, i love pulling tricks with them. Whats really unique is the fact that you can bring your Mii into the race, even online. Nintendo really did a fabulous job with online, it is nearly lag free and finding compeditors is a breeze. If you want a compeditor's friend code, it is displayed on the wii's "Kart Channel" making asking your friends over the phone or aim obsolete. I highly reccomend it, but it makes one wonder why they could not make a "Brawl Channel" XD.

Wait, what?  For Nintendo's shitty online service, this is a huge step.  Quoting this for emphasis.

Yeah, it'd probably be better if they cut down the number of retro tracks to put more new tracks.

Screw you europeans I want this game already.

Know our SSBB pain!

Still haven't brought this but i've been meaning too, just like with Super Mario Galaxy, I only have Wii Sports for mine at that comes with it xD

MKWii comes out in Australia on thursday apparently (store clerk rang me to say my pre-order is still here and the game will be coming soon) so I'll have it soon enough.

As far as MK games go however; I play them until I complete them regardless of how bad they are.
Double Dash was by far the worst of the series but I still had a lot of fun with it, so I have high hopes for this installment.

The Mario Kart series has never been (or was supposed to be) some deep and amazing racing game. It's more of a game you play for fun when you're hanging out with friends or family. That being said, although it does get boring if you play it constantly, it's still pretty fun playing it every once in a while.

Double dash wasn't that horrible imo (the 2-kart versus mode was fun as hell with 4 players) but it was the worst in the series. I'll probably pick this one up, but I'm not expecting to be blown away.

I would simply like to concur with Rockman.
It is easily on par if not better than MKDS and the control scheme is very well done as far as using the Wii Wheel goes, I'm a bit pissy that GC and Classic controllers can't perform certain things that using the wheel can, but aside from that it is amazing fun on single player and I'm looking forward to trying it out online.

Oh and level design is by far the best since MK64

What does the CC and GC controllers not do that the wii wheel does? You can do all the same things..

Also that's what I wanted to hear. MKDS is my favourite in the series by far. :D

i also agree, its great game with some much needed improvements. Although i do hate a couple of things:
-Battle mode online is awesome, but it is only teambased and when you die you come back to life and the other team gets the point. While this seems like an improvement, it really is not due to the lack of voice chat and the fact that most people like me are used to the old way.
-I mentioned it above, but there is no way of communicaiting with comrades. Sure most nintendo games are like this, but medal of honor 2 heroes allowed you to send messages to friends when not in-game. Hell, even brawl had the taunt system but atleast that was a form of communication.
-Most items are awesome but i hate most of them. I mostly hate the blooper item though for good reason. Instead of getting the player that is a place in front of you, it gets everyone and it can be a real pain in the ass if everyone but one person is driving aimlessly around the track. Also the unlucky leader could get hit by a koopa/spiny shell which would make it seem like a cheap shot.

Otherwise I think it is a fantastic addition to the HUGE mario universe.
