Glen-i

I would if I had the money. But I don't have the money...

OK, I need to know. What is that GIF from? I want to know why this exists.

Got a good kick out of this. Luigi has one epic glare, never noticed that.

I've got... mixed opinions about the game. Now, don't get me wrong. The game is sublime. The best multiplayer game on the Gamecube. But, I prefer Brawl. I realise that as far as minorities go, that's up there with people who like Other M (Fun game, even if it's completely dumb), but hear me out. I'm the kind of guy who plays Smash Bros with items on and stages on random. Sure, the best players out there would crucify me for that. But the whole hardcore style of Smash makes me want to fall into a coma. I like infinite air dodges. I like the floatiness of jumps. I like tripping! No, I'm not defending it, I'm OK with it being gone, but some hilarious moments have come out of that. I like Subspace Emissary. I like the chaotic randomness! Melee just feels like it's aged to me. (Also, the rabid fanbase it has doesn't help...) It's a fine game, but whenever I'm asked to play Melee, all I want to say is "Can't we just play Brawl?" Yeah, Melee is fantastic. But Brawl is more fantastic. (Also, Mewtwo, while cool, was rubbish in the game)

I think Project M may have blinded you a bit there. You have to take into account what we haven't been shown. I doubt those are the only 2 layouts. If this is a Battlefield stage, then Spear Pillar might as well be Final Destination.

So I've three starred everything now. With the Wii Wheel. It somehow controls even better than it did on Wii! No idea how that happened. You can bet I'm using motion controls throughout the league! And I'll let everyone know it. I'm gonna come out and say it, I don't miss the Mini-Map one bit. I found it pretty useless in almost every Mario Kart. (Apart from DS and 7, when I'd only use it when hit by a blooper) I absolutely ADORE the one item limit. Balances the game quite a bit and I'm really hoping it becomes the standard for the series. Battle Mode sucks, but that was to be expected. As for the stages, I think the new stages are impeccable. Even the first track is fun. That anti-gravity! Retro stages are... an odd selection, the poor GBA got ridiculously ignored. Mario Circuit, as cool as the changes are, is not what I would have picked out of the stages that haven't been remade. (Still no Ribbon Road...) And I have to ask this, is it just me, or does weight actually affect how far you can glide? I'm sure that didn't happen in 7...

Mii, baby! Best character in the game! That voice is freaking hilarious! (Although, in Grand Prix, I'm using every character once to get those stamps. Then it's all Mii, Mii, Mii, Mii, Mii!)

OK, great! So I take it everyone who enters will be adding a few FC's?

So, what does this mean? Joining a dedicated host or something? Actually, how is the private friend room? Perhaps we could use that?

Awww... You're making me blush. How unmanly of me... I had tons of fun. The N-E League is getting me way too excited. You're certainly no slouch yourself! I love having only one item at a time. It means that cruising away in 1st is not even half as easy to pull off. I was in that group as well! Orange Mii called Glen-i.

Having way too much fun with this! Awfully hard to resist online mode until I unlock Mii!

Well, it's time for @Dcubed and I to get started on Grand Prix. We've got a pretty silly set-up involving two WiiU's There! We're playing one person on Gamepad and one on TV! We did it!

I'd go with Monster Hunter as well. Even if it is tricky to get into. Keep at it for more than just a few hours. It takes time for things to get going. NSMBU is just so dull, especially compared to New Super Luigi U.

HAH! I never bought a Pro controller! That money is going to go straight on this! And that Smash controller!

This never becomes unfunny. Never!

OH HELL YES!

Mario Kart Wii had 3 characters that could be unlocked through time trials.

I actually use Time Trials to learn track layouts and practice shortcuts that require mushrooms and so on.

This is why I always do 50/100 cc first. Get the easy stuff out of the way as quickly as possible.

Since when were Yoshi's arms that long? That's really bugging me!

That's setting yourself up for quite a fall if I do happen to perform better. Careful now... I shall represent the glory that is the Mii!

Unless there's some customisation options, I always use the default name. It just feels weird otherwise.

Congratulations, you got arguably the most unnecessary character in Mario Kart history, and that includes Honey Queen! I've decided to enter the N-E League. Should be fun!

Sure, why not? But I'm warning you now. I don't have reliable internet connection where I live, and can only get my WiiU online when I leech off of my cousin's Wi-Fi. Each to his own and all that, but I played way better on Wii with the wheel than any other controller. So I'll still be bigging up the wheel. Hey look, I can see my avatar from here! (Also, you're making the unlucky ones jealous)

Does the game still show whether someone is using the Wii Wheel or not? Because I use the Wii Wheel all the time! And I want everyone to know it.
