playing Friday march 15th at 7pm pacific time if anyone would like to join

@Windy
I'll try, that time will be 9pm for me. I'm in CST. I may not be home or at home watching movies. We'll see...

@Windy I'll try to make it.

Would be cool to play with a full house. Ive raced with 3 people in game it ran perfect. Im surprised people are not flocking to the online play it's so fun

@Everyone I jumped online about 7pm last night to race and there were 2 games up and running. I joined Rolands game first which was only him and me. He was hosting and didn't give it a minute to see if we could get a 3rd guy. Well the guy is awesome! he beat me by about half a lap each race. I only came close once and still lost by a full turn. Roland is awesome. Then I jumped out and Joined Waluigi. Also a very good racer who beat me I think 3 games to 2 games. I hopped out and Hosted my game and Waluigi joined. I let it sit about 3 minutes to see if we could get a 3rd racer which we did I forget his name. Waluigi won the first 2 races I took 2nd. The 3rd guy we got I guess got frustrated or something cause he jumped out. I raced Waluigi a couple more times then called it a night I think we split 1-1. It was a great time!

Thanks everyone for the races and I will see you next Friday at 7PM im going to make it weekly Get together anyone is welcome to join. When I host and you join be patient i'm going to let the connect sit at least 2 minutes to see if we can get more riders

@Everyone this game is so much fun once you get into it and open up the other bikes and riders I think the game is just as fun as Mariokart even though it plays a little different which is a good thing. I have not seen any of the bugs mentioned so far. This game is good old fashion fun and was done 100% right What impresses me most is the fact that you can have computer opponents online when the game doesn't fill up. I was very disappointed with F1 2011 on 3ds. There was no way to add computer opponents when you race online with a friend it just made the game feel so empty

@Everyone Just a little suggestion. When your hosting if you could please wait 2 minutes before starting the session it would be nice to at least attempt to get more racers in the game. When I host I am going to use a 3 minute timer so be patient when you connect to my game

@Hale-Bopp

We had great races! I finally won against you. Have you noticed that I have improved my skills?

Your skills are good! great racing see you friday hopefully

I have definitely noticed! You've gotten really good online. I loved that we went back and forth, each of us winning races. Made it exciting not knowing who was gonna win each race.

@Everyone I will be online again This Friday Night at 7pm Pacific Time. Hope to see you there

Held off on game due to semi poor NL review. I believe it got a 6 or 7. While a 7 isn't terrible the price kind of scared me away at first (after checking the review out). I didn't mind dropping 10 for Denpa Men and 5-8 for Mutant Mudds, VVVVVV, Mighty Switch Force, etc... I assume most people in this thread will probably say this game is worth the money though.

It actually got a 5/10 from NintendoLife.

Other reviews have been much more positive, though.

@SethNintendo

If you like racing games, please buy this game! It is AWESOME! It is only $7.99 (for a $40 Nintendo 3DS experience). Excellent controls, courses, tricks, and presentation. The online play is silky smooth! I am a loyal Nintendo fan, so I believe that I have good taste.

@SethNintendo I understand you being apprehensive, and you have good reasons. The game is fairly short, with Time trials and Single race being your only P1 options besides 6 Grand Prix's and unlockables. The game shines in online, however, the course Canada is a glitched mess, but every other course is fine. The boost system is also hard, being only allowed to perform a boost stunt once per lap, you have to use a different boost each time. (ex Up + L, Down + L)
The graphics are nice for a spruced up DS game, but the music is nothing memorable. Not true, I can't forget the annoying tunes!

Overall 7/10 with the glitches, 8/10 without.

@Knuckles

When will you race online again? Did you enjoy racing with me?

right? it's fun, not people online usually though! Prolly cuz you have to host a game to join up, that never works!

I too was apprehensive at first about getting this game but i'm glad i did. I am however, a racing game fan. So maybe that's why i'm enjoying this game so much. The Canada track is glitchy and frustrating, but everything else is great. I've been able to play online several times and it is fun. WIsh more people were on it though as i've only been able to play with one other person and the rest are computer controlled. There's been several times where i've been first place by a long shot and the host disconnects from the game, which is frustrating. But i guess you'll always have those that are sore loosers. Other than that, i'd recommend this game.

@WaluigiBag I've just been busy recently. I'll try to be on this weekend.

I made a new thread for the Friday Night Get together in online gaming section here. Stop by and say hello and see you guys on Friday

Friday Night Races

Great! Thanks!
