My BMI was 18.something, just in the underweight section. Was funny to see the animation of the Mii for it (had only seen it for ideal or overweight on vids). My Wii Fit age is 23, -4 off my real age which is cool. I was expecting it to be more, but found the balance test really easy. Same thing can't be said for the extreme version of it though...

Mine has just arrived. Let the fitness begin!

Probably not a good idea, no. Anyway, hope you feel better soon. Very strange. Just checked mine, still empty. Not sure if I trust this online tracking thing.

Nice one H-o-T, cheers for posting that! Have to say I'm actually pretty surprised by the Brawl date, was expecting it to be much later. Nice to know we'll have Wii Ware and the Nintendo Channel soon too.

Yeah I got my dispatch e-mail from them on Saturday! Anyway, looks like this won't be showing up today then. Probably a good thing actually as it means some more uninterrupted time with Mario Kart before my friends/family start hogging the Wii again, a la Wii Sports.

Does anyone that ordered this from GAME.co.uk have tracking info yet? I entered my tracking number in to the Parcelforce site, but it doesn't show anything.

I think he's referring to this: Blatantly not Coin Runners. My guess is that Nintendo will send DS style missions over the MK Wii Channel.

Woohoo! Mine just arrived.

That's how it was in 64 and Super Circuit. I agree though, much better that way.

I see that the US site for this game has gone up: http://mariokart.com/wii/ Because of course they still have to get something before us right? Not much to it really, a nice hi-res version of the intro on there though and some better quality title screen music too.

I've gotten loads better at this, finally starting to get comfortable with the controls. I actually reckon it'd be pretty weird to go back to the old style of game play now. Progressed a bit more in the Champions Road too, unlocked Miis: Love it! Even funnier with big head mode activated. The Mii option doesn't really make up for the piss poor edit mode (or lack of one more like it), but a nice addition none the less.

Had a quick go on this now, man talk about a steep learning curve! Was all over the shop at first! But seemed to be getting the hang of it slightly after a couple of games, no where near confident enough as I would be with with standard controls yet though. There's so much more stuff to take in to consideration when playing this game! I really hope I can get used to it, would be great if I could erase all memory of previous football games. Will try to go online at some point this evening, gonna learn the ropes a bit more first though. :wink:

My copy arrived earlier. Looking forward to trying it out. Hopefully I'll get to play some of you online later on today, will add my code to my profile once I have it. : peace:

I finished my Bitter play through last night, (well apart from beating [Sir Henry Motherfucker] that is, and he really is one on Bitter! It takes forever to even make a dent in his energy bar, will have another go today though. But anyway, I found the remaining cards I was missing, so got them all in the end. Yeah I think so, adds a bit more suspense to the whole sequel thing too. :wink:

Japanese site is up, some nice direct feed vids on there: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/rmcj/new/index.html Bring... it... on! Really can't wait for this game now!

Trust me, after a few minutes playing the PAL version you'll have forgotten all about the blood. It's purely cosmetic after all, and has absolutely no impact on everything else that makes the game so great. Seriously, no one should avoid this game over such a trivial thing. I've just finished my second play through. Only took around 3 hours, sweet mode sure is easy! Made me think though that this would be quite a cool game to speed run. Anyway, now it's time for bitter mode! :awesome:

Completed this last night. Mild difficulty, 17 hours dead on.

Yeah you're right, seems like there are a few variations: I think the one with Drogba is the best, due to the inclusion of the Wii Remote / Nunchuck. Wonder if there are any more though? I might create my own version, with Raúl or Torres. Maybe make Ronaldo a bit smaller too.

I'm missing one too, can't remember which number though. Hopefully you can still pick them up on the second play through. Anyway, I'm just about to take on Assassin number 2. Been spending quite a lot of time exploring the city / doing missions / powering up Travis. Got all of the Lovikov balls and hidden cash now, not sure about t-shirts though. And I also purchased the final beam katana / parts. Expensive, but man that thing rocks!...

Yeah but all of the original cut scenes can be seen online anyway, and like you say it has no effect on the game play, which is identical in both versions. How's the blood vs no blood vid coming along though, would be cool if you could get a side by side comparison that's really well synced up. Yep, Shinobu was very annoying.

Yes! 00:37 to 01:02 on this vid: http://media.video.ign.com/ev/sv.html?dlURL=wiimovies.ign.com/wii/video/article/859/859801/mkartbattlemode_031408_1_flvlowwide.flv&object_ID=949580 Best Battle Mode ever, confirmed! And original music too, I'm in heaven! Roll on April 11th.

You'd be surprised, the effect in the PAL version really ties in well with the whole old school / 8-Bit thing. Anyway, it definitely doesn't make or break the game either way. The story and addictive game play is intact in both versions, and that's what counts in my book. By the way, does the US manual feature the comic strip? Because oddly enough it looks as if it has been censored, if the one on the website is anything to go by that is: http://nomoreheroesgame.us.ubi.com/comic3.php I started on the harder mode, not found it all that difficult yet, well apart from the battle with Shinobu. :wink: I'm pretty sure there is a 3rd setting once you finish the game though.

Hehehe! Yeah, pretty damn funny! Cheers DiemetriX, works perfectly. Going around on the bike is so much fun now! Is there any way to look around Travis' pad, other than that menu system? I really want to be able to move around myself and check out all the cool stuff from a first person viewpoint.
