Topic: Mario Kart

Hello, I'm thinking of selling my copy of SSBB to get Mario Kart Wii but I'm really confused. o.O

First of all, are there two different Mario Kart Wii games? I looked it on eBay and there was Mario Kart Wii (2008?) and Super Mario Kart Wii (2009). Is there a difference? Is it a different game?

Also, I played the game at a freinds house once and he had wheels that you out the remote into to play the game. I hope I'm making sense. Well, do I HAVE to but the wheels or can I play with just the Wii remote? What about a GameCube controller?

My last question is online gameplay. Do people still play the game even though it's over a year old? Can you chat with other people somehow? Also, is the online gameplay even enjoyable?

Thanks, and sorry for so many questions. =(

Only one MKW game. There is Super Mario Kart, which was released on the SNES available on the VC, as well as the 64 release.

You don't have to play with the wheel. You can play with the wheel case, without the wheel case, with the wiimote and nunchuck, classic controller or Gamecube controller.

Yes. You can chat with friends in rooms but its pretty limited. And Yes.

get sonic and sega allstars it is mario kart wii but with more then just 7 donkeys and 4 plumbers =)

I'd recommend it but I wouldn't sell Smash Bros Brawl for it - that'd be a sale you'll regret one day.

Anyway I think it comes with the plastic wheel in most cases - if not all?

Mario Kart Wii is a must have, I play with the wiimote and nunchuck which I thought I would hate but now I love it, it's the only way I ever play.

Mario Kart Wii is playable with 4 controllers: Wii wheel, Wiimote and Nunchuck, Classic Controller, and the good ol' GameCube controller.
And yes, people go online all the time. My mom races online at least once every week and it never, and I mean NEVER gets old.
There is a way to chat, but you have to enter the other persons code, and they have to enter yours. The chatting is pretty lame though. You can click on pre-made messages.
Example:
Person 1: Hello
Person 2: Hello
Person 1: What do you want to do?
Person 2: Regional Race!

You get the point.
Hope this helped.

I'm a SSMB fan, but I would say that MKW is way better.

Also, the game always comes with a Wii Wheel and besides, you can play the game with just a Wiimote; the wheel is just a shell.
And lol @Funky+Gamer's example of chatting. It really is that bad.

I'm a MKW fan, but I would say that SSBB is way better.

Get F zero GX. Second best racer ever after Outrun 2.

F-Zero GX is a great game, but warning to anyone considering it, the game is brutal hard.

If you want MKWii, don't sell SSBB for it.

Although MKWii is a great game, dont sell your SSBB copy, as it would be a waste. Save up your money, and youll have both.

I agree that you shouldn't sell SSBB.

MKWii is a great game, but be aware that they ruined Battle Mode in this one.

F-Zero GX is only brutal hard on story mode, but normal Gran Prix is just right.

As far as it goes, don't ditch Brawl for Mario Kart Wii as it's not worth the trade...hell it's not worth the $50 I wasted on it (or brawl for that matter due to control lag compared to Melee.) MKW is terrible compared to any of the past titles, the forced wonky bikes at 100cc, the boring as crap tracks, and rubber banding AI...it's a nice trifecta of stank. Not that it's a hugely awesome game, but even the GC title kicks it's ass and you'd be better off getting that for 1/2 the price. MKWii and Brawl successfully made me lose faith in blindly purchasing of 1st party made games for Nintendo in the first time in 25 years on a Nintendo console (while Starfox on DS did it on the portable end.)

Personally I love Mario Kart wii and still play it and I got it soon after it came out in 2007 i think, i still can easily find a race online quickly and I only play with the wheel, but i know there are other ways to play as well. As for SSBB i got bored with pretty quick and ended up returning it.
