Looks like Mario Kart Wii won't suck after all. The "tricks" aren't as bad as originally believed (you do a trick in the air and when you land, you get a speed boost). Track design is as good as the DS tracks, but they borked Battle Mode by forcing teams instead of allowing free-for-all. They said even the Wii Wheel doesn't suck.
So they're liars? There's no way that wheel doesn't suck.
It has to be good! Nintendo's selling it separately for $15. Who wouldn't want that?
So comfy! How much are they selling that POS Wii Zapper for again?
$20 with a demo
That review didn't even mention rubber band AI. It's not to be trusted.

If a wheel is not held in place by a base, it can't simulate driving.
I have high hopes for this game. I don't think it will be better than the DS version but I think it will be much better than the GC one so it is a win as far as I'm concerned.
The newest issue of Nintendo Power has a huge write up about it and it sounds like a ton of fun. I wish the multi-player had the bomb blast game from the GC one but it didn't make the cut. I was also bummed to read that the Mission mode from the DS game isn't in the Wii one. I thought I read somewhere that it was going to be in so that's kind of a downer. Oh well, I still can't wait.
No more snaking in the Wii version. There's actually a new technique to speed along straightaways. And you have some DS tracks in the Wii version.Quote:
