I wonder if they could find some way to use the wiifit board as pedals in a future racing game...

Definitely "Mario Kart," but I'll likely pick up "Wii Fit" a month or two after it comes out.

I could care less about Wii Fit, give me Mario Kart,I've been looking forward to that one forever now.

Mario Kart eeeeeeeeeeeasy.

I'll probably buy both. I'm actually more skeptical of Mario Kart since I didn't like Double Dash. If they manage to make it anywhere near as good as Mario Kart DS, I'll be a happy man. If the wheel control feels too loose or sloppy then it will essentially destroy the game.

I could give a flying fuck about Wii fit. Maybe obesse toddlers will get a kick out of it, I will stick with going to the gym myself.

I am foaming at the mouth for Mario Kart. Not literally, because that would imply I had some sort of glandular problem (or maybe even some underlying neurological problem). but I assure you, figuratively, the foam is plentiful.

While I'll probably get wii fit eventually, Mario Kart is required on or near launch day. My wife love to play MK DS, but doesn't like the analog stick in MK64, so she should like this.

No contest. Let's see, Mario Kart is one of the most highly regarded and most brilliant and fun series in gaming, whereas Wii Fit is glorified step-aerobics, exploiting the sort of "lifestyle" obsessed idiots who don't realise you can do that stuff for free. I hope Mario Kart wipes the floor with it. It would certainly be a victory for gaming, but sadly I doubt that will happen.

Mario Kart, hands down. The wii is chock full of mini games (which Wii Fit basically is), and has virtually no racing games.

But seeing as there is no killer AAA for this fall, I'm thinking Mario Kart will get delayed until then.

I don't care much about Wii Fit. The Balance Board interests me for what it can do elsewhere, but I won't touch the Wii Fit bundle until I see some good third party usage. In fact, looking at the comments, I'm kind of curious as to the general opinion of Wii Fit. Does anyone actually want to use it for the software? Or are you all looking to get it just for the Board?

As far as Mario Kart goes, if it releases in April (near the same time as Wii Fit), I probably won't have the money for it. I'll still be recovering from my Brawl purchase. I'll barely have enough saved up to buy it on launch day.

Now, if money weren't an issue, I'd probably by Mario Kart launch day and leave Wii Fit in the store. I'm just not convinced by it.

Mario Kart WILL get delayed. If they somehow release together, I'm buying Mario Kart but Wii Fit will outsell it two-to-one overall.

Are you kidding? M A R I O K A R T baby! (please don't ruin it please dont ruin it!)

Thats a no brainer surely.

I'm sure they won't have any problems shifting wii fit though. What with all those people who've only bought a wii for wii sports. It'll keep them happy!

It's tough to say, my Wife wants WiiFit and I want Mario Kart.

I'm going to have to go with Mario Kart in the long run 2 to 1.

Reply

It's a safe bet I'll be getting both really. I highly doubt we'll be seeing mario kart before November anyways...

Reply

I'll buy both, but i hope MK is more like the mariokart of old, and not like Double Dash.

Reply

Wii fit... a couple months after its released.

Reply

No need to set up a poll for this one. MK is the clear winner.

Wii Fit will sell just because women are going to see it on either Today or Oprah and lose their minds! No offense but I can't see too many men being into aerobics.

kart all the way

The question is how many old-school fans of the incredibly successful and most times terrificly fun Wii Fit series on SNES, N64, GameCube and DS there are ...

Reply

I think overall, both will be tremendously successful. Just like Wii Sports and Mario Galaxy can survive together perfectly. Anything with the title Wii -blank- sells like a crazy person eating crazy pills. And Mario Kart for the DS is incredibly popular, so the Wii version is a safe bet.

Reply

WiiFit.... Seriously, how many Mario Karts does the world really need?!?

Reply

Mario Kart will use the Wii balance board. You'll sit on it while you play so you can lean into the corners for power slides.

Reply

hands down mario kart, but i will be buying wii fit soon after, and i need to see some other games use it other then the game it comes with.

Reply

Both and be broke. I already have Mario Kart reserved. According to the girl at GameStop, I was the first in the tri-state area. Regardless, I also want Wii Fit...badly.

Wii Fit will prove one of the biggest selling software titles on the Wii, and then subsequently become the most commonly ignored title for the console at the same time with the board tucked away in the corner of most peoples lounges.

There's alot of hype and hope for the board itself, but to be honest I think it will be yet another "Wii" glimpse of future potential rather than something to revolutionise gaming, just as most of the Wii waggling disappointingly has shown for the revolutionary remote.

If they get MarioKart right, and better still release an online headset(to allow communication between FRIENDS) prior to release, then it will become the most played game on the Wii for the consoles entire life cycle, this much I don't doubt! MarioKart for me either way, reason I bought a Wii in the first place(before it was even announced).

I'm gonna try and get both but if I can't then it'll have to be Mario Kart.

Reply

if i had to choose, definitely wii fit for me, but i will buying both.

Reply

Mario Kart for sure will be played way more on my Wii. The series is just great. Wii Fit will do very well though, and I will be picking up both at or near their release days.

I guess if I had to choose, I would stay unfit and enjoy the Mario Kart. It has had to great a history with me.

In the end though, my pocket book will suffer, and I will be getting both.
