i want the dog too!
I would have bought this by now, but the Zavvi near where I work is rubbish, and despite having a poster advertising it as being 'Out Now' (which they didn't even have Friday of last week) they have no copies, or shelf space where copies used to be.
As such, I will give someone else my cash for this game, as those useless spanners do not deserve my money!

I've added as Mario Kart Friends everyone in the First Post, so anyone who would like to add me my Maro Kart Code is: 4253 3623 1340
I don't really understand the other code yet, so this seemed simpler, but I'll add people via the Wii one later.
Cheers my dears.

So has anyone bettered Smooth Bob on the Luigi Circuit?
I dunno, but I've just managed 1:23.025 on Luigi Circuit, and the whole on-line ranking thing is starting to get it's hooks into me just as it has on the 360. It's very addictive to download someone's ghost who is just a little bit faster than you.
I'm up for doing this each week, it's acebest.

Nintendo overtakes Sony’s ‘Gran Turismo 5: Prologue’ at the top of the All Formats Chart as ‘Mario Kart Wii’ records the 8th biggest launch week ever in the UK. ‘Mario Kart Wii’ is far and away the biggest launch of any Nintendo published title. It’s also bigger than the launch weeks of all 5 other Mario Wii games combined (Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games, Super Mario Galaxy, Mario Strikers, Mario Party 8 and Super Paper Mario).
Mario has performed heroically on Nintendo’s next-gen format with Wii games featuring Mario accounting for 21.2% of all Wii units since the launch of the console in December 2006. There are now 4 Mario games in the All Formats Top 40 with Sega’s ‘Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games’ down one place to No3 (behind ‘Gran Turismo 5: Prologue), ‘New Super Mario Bros’ at No23 and ‘Mario Kart DS’ an All Formats Top 40 re-entry at No30. ‘Pro Evolution Soccer 2008’, another strong performer on Nintendo Wii, is a non-mover at No4, while Ubisoft’s ‘Rainbow Six: Vegas 2’ continues to lose ground, down 2 places to No5. Sales of ‘Condemned 2’ from Sega fall by 20% in its second week, down from No5 to No6, while Activision still have an All Formats Top 10 presence thanks to ‘Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock’ only falling 2 places to No8 and ‘Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare’ climbing one place to No9. The new DS and PC versions of Ubisoft’s ‘Assassin’s Creed’ help it sneak back up the chart, up from No27 to No15, but otherwise there are no All Format Top 40 new entries this week to compete with the blockbuster ‘Mario Kart Wii’.

Twice I have had my first 2 laps in the low 27s If I'd have matched that on the 3rd lap (instead of hitting the grass) then I would have a time of about 1.21.5 or something. Which I know I can get if I get all 3 laps right... Instead I'm in the low 1.23s
I've added everyone on the wiki (apart from Mali A - no offence, it's just that I thought they were in chronological order, but that one was before other people who I had already added)

I'm working through the list.
Hello chaps, Romanista invited us here, so I thought I'd pop by and say hello.
Feel free to add me to your friends list....ReLoaded - 1418-6836-7389
Looks like a fun place to play.

The 360 live experience has soured this somewhat, as ALL games benefit immensely from smacktalk and twaddle which the Wii just doesn't support.
Or am I wrong?

I suggest we all make sure our computers are near our Wiis and use some sort of voice chat to overcome this. Or just get Grim... to phone us all up and put us on conference mode (I am sure he can afford the bill)

Mario and Sonic, Mario Galaxy and Mario Kart are all superb games so I'm quite happy if they've got an attach rate that high.

In reviews forum as I can't work out what to do with it at all due to lack of informations disseminated importantly.
Just managed a 1:22.4 I think I can probably take a second off that still (first and last laps were not perfect by any means)

(I had to get my extra wheel from woolworths of all places, and it was the last one they had in stock, having already sold out of the game, then get the game for GAME, who had a queue of about 20 people buying the game when I joined. I've never seen anything like it before.)

Nope. Not 'Game of the Week', not in the Top Twenty Games, no spaces on shelves, no empty displays.
The idiots don't appear to have bothered to stock any in the Liverpool Street branch.
Bloomin' hell. Fair enough. That's awful.

I was wondering if something along those lines would work. Skype is probably a decent solution if it does conference chat. Possibly MSN, but that would mean me booting into Windows. Which I don't really want to do.

Ventrillo has Mac and Windows clients, but we would need someone to host a server.

I use TS, it's generally a bit nicer than Vent, though msotly I only use it when forced to.
I was told about Murmor though..which appears to be better than both.

TeamSpeak 2 has public servers, and mac/windows clients, and you can create rooms when you join the public servers.
It might be slightly odd having a headset connected to your pc whilst listening to the wii tho?

Hello - I will be there.
Mark - will you make the 'room' for everyone to congregate in please?
Do you have to send invites? I will be playing on Craig's console (I will drag him off the PC to play as well)
I only hope that it lets the two of us play on the console together in a friend game!
