"Mario Kart Wii"

So, anyone getting this? Mines pre-ordered. I'm not sure it's going to work as well as previous installments, with bikes and everything. The offline multiplayer isn't as good either, according to some reviews. The online component is supposed to work very well.

Ah well, will have to wait and see.

Yea im looking forward to it - problem i got is i have Call of duty 4 for ps3 and GTA4 coming out soon. Dont know how much time i will have for it.

The only way im going to play is because my Girlfriend likes Mario Kart and i can play it when she is over lol.

I have not seen too much on it - but i dont really want to know the powerups and stages etc because i like the surprise!

Still playing Frontlines, but I've pre-ordered Mario Kart and will be on that as much as possible. The fact that it's kid friendly means I can actually play it when they are around.

Can't wait to play online.

Yeah, I've got it on preorder. It'll be the balance of fun as I get used to it and frustration as I try to master it.

where seems to be the best place to get it??
anyone found a place where u get a good price and free wheel? or anything like that

Play.com seemed all messed up when i went to look on there!?!

just wondering how much u lot managed to get it for and any extars u could find

I preordered mine online with Game. £35 inc the wheel (which I think comes as standard?) They were doing other packs with a second wheel, or a GC pad. Dunno if they have any launch stock left.

Won't be able to actually play it til sunday even though I'm expecting to get it on the day. Although, do Game send stuff out early? Might be able to play it a bit thursday night if they do...

You may be able to get from an american store...they're $39.99 - so 20quid...?

I've had an email to say my 2nd wheel has been despatched (Gameplay was the only place I could find the official one at the time of ordering).

Knowing me, I'll end up preferring the GameCube or Classic controller to the wheel though...

Pretty much sold out everywhere now. If you haven't ordered you'll have to wait for the next batch to come in after launch.

I'm popping down to GAME on thursday, just in case!

Hmm i will have to get on the phone to GAME or gamestation - or i might check amazon. got a GAD voucher which needs spending
