Hellfire Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 The blue shell in Mario Kart 64 travelled along the ground from the player who shot it right through to the player in first place.. if you were unlucky enough to get in the way of it's path, you'd get hit by it on it's way to first.. but it kept travelling through until it reached first place. Much better that way! Yeah I remember that, I was talking about the appearence rate, wasn't it more or less the same thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolness Bears Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Ooh mission mode sweet! :awesome: I really can't wait for this game! 12 player online does it for me! The new additions are enough to keep me happy. Hopefully if i go to GAME early then i can get me a copy but people in my town don't seem to play Games so they should have loads!

ManiLink Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I actually had forgot about a Mission Mode as I haven't heard anything about it.. I really hope it is in there as I love it on the DS version and it will add another dimension to the game!This is the screenshot in question.. Hey! I Don't appreciate you watermarking the image! Thief! WiiDSpodcast broke the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathjam Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Yeah I remember that, I was talking about the appearence rate, wasn't it more or less the same thing? I remember quite a few times getting the blue shell but somehow ending up in first place with said blue shell ready for when the computer would eventually catch up and try to overtake me. Reminds me of the few multiplayer times when i fired a blue shell up an opponents arse to eventually take the win Good times. Really makes me want to get this game now. Were there certain places where you would definitely get a blue shell becaus that route was a hidden shortcut or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekunando Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Hey! I Don't appreciate you watermarking the image! Thief! WiiDSpodcast broke the story.

Ooh a free hat..? you have me tempted! I do love Hats!!! What does it look like? Would you wear it? Nah, i tried doing that with the DS headset and Pokemon but they weren't having any of it!

nekunando Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 The hat is a bit.. rare.. but hell if I don't want one Play.com cancelling is a blessing in disguise.. a baseball cap disguise (Courtesy of GoNintendo) ..it isn't as bad as I remembered it.. I'll wear that ..maybe.. (It will definitely look better if it is stitched on.. the picture is clearly a mock up..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bananagrabber Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Mario Kart... Sold out? They must have had a very small amount of stock. I could see Wii Fit and GTA 4 selling out, but Mario Kart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, i tried doing that with the DS headset and Pokemon but they weren't having any of it! Its nothing spectacular, but the nerd in you yearns for it! What did you try with that headset? To get it free? I got one for a knockdown price of a fiver and I hadn't reserved Pokemon... The hat is a bit.. rare.. but hell if I don't want one Play.com cancelling is a blessing in disguise.. a baseball cap disguise If only WiiFit saw a price drop... it would be a blessing in the disguise of a water bottle gift from Game!

nekunando Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 If only WiiFit saw a price drop... it would be a blessing in the disguise of a water bottle gift from Game! To fill it up and soak the balance board with it... that's class Mario Kart now has way too much going for it to stop me getting it now.. unless GAME don't have a large enough allocation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookyman Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Mario Kart... Sold out? They must have had a very small amount of stock. I could see Wii Fit and GTA 4 selling out, but Mario Kart?

Its' my 1st order from them, are they any good do they send stuff early? (fingers crossed!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woops accidently double posted then deleted my message... Anyway i want that Hat! The nerd is craving for it! I was never told it cost a fiver so i went the next day but i had forgotten my recipt and it was all a bit akward... I said "can i have a free headset please! the thing is i have forgotten my recipt" They were having none of it! Not the most akward thing i have done in there though! another one is when iwa lked in and pointed at a sign behind the desk and shouted! IT'S ILLEGAL!!! I'm not sure why! I saw The Water bottle It looks great but alas i can't afford the game... (wii fit) The hat is a bit.. rare.. but hell if I don't want one Play.com cancelling is a blessing in disguise.. a baseball cap disguise (Courtesy of GoNintendo) ..it isn't as bad as I remembered it.. I'll wear that ..maybe.. (It will definitely look better if it is stitched on.. the picture is clearly a mock up..) It looks good! I've worn worse mario hats before!

Am I missing something here? 1) To screw NOE over for limiting how many pal copies are available for the UK release date. 2) To see how well the freeloader will hold up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
