"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.

Gah! A 5300 score dropped to 4800 in a few races. I'm crap at this game!

It's also on your licence just under your name.

GP, yto find the number, load up the MK channel and where the top option is "Friends", on that bar there is a number, that's it.

Been playing a little after dinner, it's great!

Friend code is; 1805-2311-2836

Had a go at this for a couple of hours. Played it safe and went with the Gamecube controller. Did the first 4 50cc Grand Prix and apart from a total brain blockage on Ghost Valley where I couldn't remember the track, I won every other race. I got 2 1 star rank, an A and a C (damn you Ghost Valley). The tracks, I think, have been widened, probably so you can drift comfortably.

I had a few minutes before dinner so I had a quick time trial. I picked Peach Beach since I had played that track to death on Double Dash. I thought I would be adventurous and race the ghost that was available. 1m34 something I think it was.

I pressed the accelerator too early and bogged down on the line. By the end of the first lap, I was 2 seconds behind. Despite my terrible first and 3rd laps, I beat the ghost with a 1m33.9. That is a Rank B time apparently. I had a look at the Worldwide times and I was definitely in the top 3rd of the field.

All going pretty well so far. I'll have to fix my wireless settings as it wasn't working (again) but I'll get it sorted. Where do you find out your code? I couldn't find it, although I didn't actually look. :)

I know it may sound like I'm going over the top, but it's the first game in many years that I'm actually looking forward to getting home to play again.

Unforutnately, with an action packed weekend, it's probably going to be sunday afternoon before I get chance again.

picked up my copy this morning fromAsda - £32 not bad!
but im at work and got to wait until 5:00 until i can play it : (
that sux! just sitting her wanting to play it

I will put my FC up once i know it - if i leave the wii alone to get on here!

At the moment, no. But if you're a Mod you can edit it. I'm not a mod on the Games forum though.

Sounds a plan. Does anyone edit the main post in the Wii codes list though, to keep it up to date?

Could put our codes for other games like this under the Wii code on the sticky thread? I'll post mine when I get a chance.
