Mario Kart Wii ATTENTION: Now with many spoliers

[Falcondude]

Mario Kart Wii looks like a great game for some newbie gamer to play.

...yeah, I'll pass on this one. I'm really into the competitive side of MK (the time trial sites and stuff), and if there's no snaking, so much for a decent competitive side. What a disappointment.

Nice find.  I'm not really finding the greatness that the brothers of it have.  Online should be fun though.

Change of Topic: Whatever happened to the Mario Kart arcade machine. Truly, there were gonna make it.

There's two at an arcade in my town. It's quite fun. You get to pose for a photo that has a characteristic of the character you're playing as on it. So say you're posing and the character you picked is Mario, it puts a little Mario hat on your head.

Well that is new. That is double the number of tracks of every other game, except Super Mario Kart which had 20.

Well I know theres a controler that looks like a steering wheel. You can do wheelys. and there are some walls like skate bord ones you can go flying up on them and in the air you can do a trick. It looks awsome.
