Stormtron Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 1161-0118-6021 Add me and post yours! I kept getting kicked off last night, but it's worked good so far today. The game is fun, but they really dumbed it down since the last two.
Mustard Death Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 I'd smoke you if I had a live connection I'm enjoying it more than Double Dash so far, though I really need to haul the Wii over to a friends house to try online.
*Limelight* Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 How is the new Mario Kart? I'm going to get it, just a bit strapped for cash right now.
Stormtron Posted April 30, 2008 Author Posted April 30, 2008 It's good and a lot of fun, but it definitely feels dumbed down to me. Drifting and turbos are literally done by just holding a button for a few seconds now. The items given to the people in the back are way more annoying now too. I get frustrated online because I'll be leading the entire race and then the game will give everyone behind me a blue shell. I seriously got hit with three blue shells in a row from different people yesterday. On the last lap. In sight of the finish line. Mario Kart has always been like that somewhat, but it's way worse now. It's still fun, but winning feels more like luck now.
Mustard Death Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 I know how you feel. I was already annoyed by the item situation in Double Dash, but in Wii, it can be just f***ing ridiculous. The back gets this plethora of deadly items while the leader constantly sits on fake blocks and about a thousand useless banana peels... and it's not like blue shells will help if you're in 11th place... it's just going to make 2nd or 3rd gain the lead. The bullet bill is f***ing awesome, though. If there were voice chat, riding up on everyone in giant rocket mode would be the time to use it.
*Limelight* Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 Double Dash i never found to bad that bad on items. But in Mario kart 64, the speed of the people rght behind you was insane. I was literally leading 1/2 a lap, and then they caught up.
pt2112 Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 So far not liking it more than Double Dash. And what the f**k is up with the lightning cloud item? Worst item ever.
Stormtron Posted May 2, 2008 Author Posted May 2, 2008 I get kicked off after every few races and the error codes say it's due to Nintendo's servers being overloaded. Nintendo really needs to get their online stuff together. Smash Bros. was handled very poorly and MK is okay, but doesn't work most of the time.

I just never play online.
