It's not out for 2 more weeks here...

[ceramic'cow]

Hahahahah. Sucks to be you. Although Smash Bros Brawl is still 'TBA' over here in Europe, so it's evened out I guess

[ceramic'cow]

Right, I'm stickying this until all the rest of you big girls around the world get hold of your copies.

How is that steering wheel thing? And did they included Gamecube control options like Smash Bros Brawl?

[ceramic'cow]

Steering Wheel's pretty cool. Takes a few goes to get used to it, and you can sort of end up drifting in the wrong direction if you're not careful, but it's pretty great. Much more comfortable than just using the Wiimote on it's side (a la Excite Truck)

And yeah, there's Gamecube controls, Wiimote controls, Wiimote + Nunchuk controls and Steering Wheel/Wiimote controls. Plenty of options

My first impressions: Online for this is much better than SSBB, the lag is non-existent and it's easy to join up with friends. It's cool you can send invites to people you've exchanged Wii codes with (all games with online should be based on this system). It looks pretty and the new tracks are pretty fun. It's nice that your kart (rather than character) determines acceleration, handling, etc. I miss the 2 character action of double-dash and each character having a special attack. Some of the new power-ups are cool like the bullet and the rain cloud. The blue shells, lightning bolts, and POWs (at least these can be avoided if you're racing somewhere with jumps) occur a little too often. The Wiiel (Wii Wheel) is pretty fun to use.

Super Mario Kart on the Wii may be one of thee funnest games ive ever played period. If any of you guys have tryed it what are your opinions i think it is great.
