claydude14 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2008 There's no official date for Mario Kart yet, it's just Spring 08 and that date must've been just made up for the computer; happens all the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2008 When I bought Mario Galaxy (a hold out from not having rechargeable batteries handy since my charger broke) and a Wiimote charger (that solves that problem!) from a US GameStop over the weekend they were pretty insistent I pre-order Brawl and Kart as they were both due out soon and they "already have 450 pre-orders for Smash Brothers". I said I bet a lot of those were from people wanting the game back in November and he just kind of agreed with me. I guess my point was they do have a Mario Kart standee and are asking people to pre-order it, but yeah, I'm not counting on it coming out so soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SamoaRowe 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2008 I promise you, if you go to Best Buy the day the games come out, you'll get it. I don't think my store has sold out of a big new release video game on the first day since Gears of War. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2008 Yeah, lately I like getting games from big box stores since they don't do in-store pre-ordering. I used to always pre-order from EB (and still might since they opened one close to home). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boner Kawanger 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2008 When dealing with Gamestop, you've gotta keep in mind that they would probably take a preorder for a new Legend of Zelda game they made up and tell you it'll come out on December 31 if it got them another preorder.

SamoaRowe 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2008 Also, as I discovered at work last night, Best Buy is actually taking preorders on Smash Bros. You have to ask a salesman in the department or find it on the shelf though, the cashiers won't be hounding you for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They need an actual sku number to take a preorder.... Soul Calibur 3 Xbox did exist on their site shortly, then it was pulled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2008 Two things that I'm hoping for with the new Mario Kart: 1)R.O.B. makes a return as a playable character, like he was in DS. 2)They FINALLY bring back Captain Syrup (the main villainess from "Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3" and "Wario Land II") as a playable character. Oh, and Peach looks hot in the biker gear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, does that mean barebones service will continue to be free and that additions like, I dunno, voice chat will cost more? I wouldn't mind if that's the case since I only play for the barebones anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sideburnious 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 Yeah, is this pay for play service just going to be stuff like "download new levels" etc like they have on the other consoles? Personally I think i'll stick with barebones unless something really catches my eye. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dubq 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 Feh, Animal Crossing is probably one of the most overrated games I've ever played. I don't even think that playing with other people online could breathe life into that game for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 Hopefully the pay for play is for added features/content and you are not actually paying for the ability to play against a buddy online. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dubq 0 Report post Posted February 29, 2008 Meh, whatever. The Wii isn't a PC or a "first person shooter console" (cough*360*cough) so voice or text chat is really not something we need. I mean really, what the hell could you chat about during Mario Kart? It's not like it's Call of Duty or Warcraft or something... Also - the less 14 year old gamers I have to actually LISTEN to, the better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
