Page 1 of Really looking forward to Mario Kart Wii!!.....

Confirmed for an April 11th release for Europe.... :D Which, I think, is before America :o
Some of the online things look great - including the ability to send and receive Ghost data :)
16 new tracks and 16 classic ones from previous MK games.

Game can be played loads of different ways and comes with a steering wheel. There was a mini game in Wario Ware where you controlled a car with the controller on its side and it worked very well so this looks interesting..
Gonna pre-order it from Play for £29.99. Do they send out in advance so you have it on release day?

You and me both, Ste!

In fact I would say this game is worth buying the Wii for alone. 8)

Haven`t ordered from them for a game pre-order.

The last few I`ve got have been from Shopto.net and I`ve either received the day before or the day of release. I`ve just checked and it`s £29.99 on there aswell.

This is definitely being pre-ordered by me. I like the fact that you can have 12 players racing online, will definitely increase the lifespan of the game.

Haven`t really used the Wii much since I`ve got it but what I really need is a game like this or Pro Evo that I could get into. I`m disappointed the Tiger Woods games haven`t been that good so far, as that`s another one I`d play loads.



My DVD collection

Only £19.99 Pre-Order at Amazon right now if you act fast. Does it come with a wheel?

Edit, just went to link to it and they might have stopped accepting pre-orders in the last couple of minutes...maybe you need to be logged in...sorry if this is a bum steer but it worked for me within the last 10 minutes!

Too slow. Was looking for it then wondering why it wouldn`t appear on any searches. :/

It comes with one wheel. Whilst I was searching then I saw that additional wheels are only £4.99 which is pretty reasonable.

Yeah they`ve now completely pulled it from the site, so maybe it will get cancelled as an error? £5 is very reasonable for a change for Nintendo!

Last time I preordered a game from Play I didn`t get it till the Tues after release. Shopto are much better, you usually get the game at least 1-2 days before.

I want a 2nd official wheel, so will wait a bit longer until sites are listing those as well for a reasonable price. (I think Amazon list them but they are so confusing it`s hard to tell which is the official Nintendo wheel or not).

Ghost Squad not for sale at dvd.co.uk anymore either. ;( Just links to Amazon.

Cheers, cancelled Play and gone with Shopto.. Probably have it in Asda for £29.99...
Have to revitalise the Friends codes for this and have a few races... :D :D
And swap Ghost data too. :D

Are the steering wheels worthwhile then? I`ve never had a game that`s had a better steering wheel operation than the plain ol` controller.
