ShadowV7 Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Everything that ONM said is fake. “The details printed in Official Nintendo Magazine 21 regarding Mario Kart Wii were healthy speculation on our part and are in no way an official announcement from Nintendo. We are sorry if we have mislead anyone. We do not set out to mislead our readers. ONM apologises profusely for any misunderstandings that this has caused.” - ONM Why do this? They didn't say it was speculation or anything and made it sound like a fact.
Owen Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Rubbish it was, they were blatently talking as though they have the details in front of them! It's all true, i reckon. Other then that, they have no-idea what to write next.
Cube Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Rubbish it was, they were blatently talking as though they have the details in front of them! The article sounds like the only info they had was the video we saw.
steggy Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 I think they must of read this article on CVG and thought it was fact or something along those lines. http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=169996
Cube Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 I think they must of read this article on CVG and thought it was fact or something along those lines. Yea, NGamer did say that all they did was inspect the video frame-by-frame.
Zechs Merquise Posted September 6, 2007 Author Posted September 6, 2007 Everything that ONM said is fake. Why do this? They didn't say it was speculation or anything and made it sound like a fact. Well if they want to see aerial stunts in a Mario Kart game they are bigger idiots than I originally thought.
DiemetriX Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 ONM FAILS AGAIN. Does this look like speculation? no.. It looks like fact. People should stop buying ONM.
Guest Jordan Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 ONM's constant bull shit is a little annoying. I wish they'de stop jumping the gun on so many things.
Mike Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 LOL, my prediction was right. Seriously, has anyone ever seen any exclusive information in ONM? I do feel sorry for them, though - you'd think that they should be allowed to print the occasional exclusive, seeing as they're the official magazine.
Zelda_Rulez Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 They type speculation out as facts, nice going. :p
mcj metroid Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 maybe what they said WAS fact and was information nintendo themselves didnt want released?
Zechs Merquise Posted September 6, 2007 Author Posted September 6, 2007 At least we know Nintendo has confirmed some silly stunt mode. I thought the biggest give away was actaully the inclusion of all the DS tracks. I personally think the only thing they got right was the multi-player bit. I think the more people turn away from printed material and to the internet the further these mags have to go to get readers. I remember back in the day when mags were big thick things that were full of the latest info and didn't really on silly stuff like this or numerous 'free gifts' to get sales.
ShadowV7 Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 You know I still haven't seen the trailer for this.Do you see the stunts in the trailer?
Cube Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 You know I still haven't seen the trailer for this.Do you see the stunts in the trailer? Yes. Wario does a mid-air spin in it.
Retro_Link Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 You know I still haven't seen the trailer for this.Do you see the stunts in the trailer? http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/82711.html
ShadowV7 Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/82711.html Thanks for that. That does look pretty cool and it shows 12 people racing at once.Would be cool if it was like that online. And that thing Wario done, surely now we can avoid Blue Shells in mid-air?
Owen Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 ONM FAILS AGAIN. Does this look like speculation? no.. It looks like fact. People should stop buying ONM. Thats what i meant, they did write that article as though they had the facts in front of them!
mcj metroid Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 you never know with the stunts though. Don't knock it till you have seen it in action.
Max780 Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Stunts?! It’s not wave race. Bloody gimmicks.
Zechs Merquise Posted September 7, 2007 Author Posted September 7, 2007 I was thinking... mabe Wario's jump is the return of the much loved Feather? That legendary SNES item that allowed you to do the short cuts on certain courses.
nekunando Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 I was thinking... mabe Wario's jump is the return of the much loved Feather? That legendary SNES item that allowed you to do the short cuts on certain courses. You could well be right! Never thought of that. It seems like a stupid place to be used (whilst zooming off the top of a ramp) but I was doing some research there and closely monitoring the video. As Wario approaches the jump, I watched the item box and thought I saw what looks to be a feather before it very quickly disappears. However, I kept replaying it and every time tried to Print Screen exactly where I thought the feather was.. What item is that? Watch it again during the video and you may see it a bit better there..

Don't think that's what it is in the video though, if you look at the item box before Wario does that spin it's actually empty. Looks more like they've just added an Excite Truck style spin, as long as you can't protect yourself from shells with it I'm not that fussed really, be seriously cack if you can though.

I think the video could of been edited by nintendo to not give away the power ups. Because Wario picks up a power up and then it disapears without him using anything. And then he picks up another power up. EDIT:- On second thought, it's two consecutive shots.
nekunando Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 I realise that he doesn't have a weapon when he makes it off the jump and I do actually believe there is a spin in there for defensive purposes or to barge into other drivers. However, the item in the box, to me, does look like it could be the feather so I wouldn't rule it out being in there.. have a close look and see what you think.
