Mario Kart Wii slides into a spring release
The press release mentions nothing else new, sadly. Just how the game will feature Mii integration and a variety of new and old tracks (16 each, as previously confirmed). Oh, and let's not forget the 12-player online racing (8 for battles) that we'll all enjoy and the other online goodies.

Damn it, that leaves me only two weeks (technically less) with which to enjoy Okami
In fact, at this point, I'll just scrap buying Okami, and play a round of my newly returned, fixed Radiant Dawn to fill the small gap between "finishing" Brawl and starting Mario Kart Wii
Crazy dumpload of good titles, preventin' me from buying things

This displeases me. Europe has to wait god knows how long to get Brawl, but when WE get a game first, North America only has to wait a couple of weeks?!

I pre-ordered SSBB from Circuit City also and still waiting. Toys R Us has good deals on new games, usually. Just don't pre-order.

Another dismal online experience to look forward to.
I have both a 360 and a Wii, and I'm floored by how poorly Brawl has performed online. In fact, I often can't find others to play a game with. The connectivity makes the game nearly unplayable. Yet, I never have such problems with the 360.
Nintendo needs to address a problem that is clearly on their end. I'm no longer surprised that they don't offer voice chat with their games: they can't really handle the game data as it is.

Let's hope that whatever they do to fix the situation with SSBB will result in a much smoother experience with Mark Kart right from the start.

same here pre-ordered GTA4 for my ps3 when i bought brawl at target so my money is going to that. may ask for mario kart as a birtday gift in august though since i don't really feel the need to get this on launch day. i'll stick with mario kart ds for now.

I just read an article about downloading movies to your Wii. I read this article and took a look at the website, and signed up. I think this is really cool because I can download unlimited movies and games for my Wii, for the cost of only one Wii game. Check out the article and if you sign up for it, let me know your thoughts. Check out the article at www.iphonedownloadworld.com/review_1225.html

The funny thing (or unfunny, depending on your outlook) is that Nintendo are going to start charging people soon.
