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.

Amazon and GAME are not taking any more orders at the moment. Better to pre-order Smash Bros for June as this will have the same problem, then find £35 and try to get it elsewhere. Sendit.com looks like it might still have some. Good site as well.

Battlefield BC looks great. Keeping my fingers crossed that I'll be on the Beta. Smash Bros is a must have, though.

Yea - actually you may be able to help

is it true that the online for Smash Bros is only if you have Friend Codes - its not going to be like Mario Kart and Mario Strikers where you can find anyone??

Really hope thats not true, none of my friends have a wii and i would much rather just search for players

Mario Kart is against anyone, by the looks of the UK IGN online write up.

I'm not sure if no voice chat is actually a bad thing. I've played my mates 360 online and we end up turning the chat off as 95% of it is just rubbish.

Yeah, you can two people on one console, both playing online. The most detailed write up I've seen of the online part is over at IGN

Think both MK and SSBB will be open but also allow Friend Code matches.

I just got an email saying that Mario Kart Wii has been shipped with a Wii Wheel from Shopto, all for £29.99. I'll believe it when I see it. :)
