FYI... Starting Sunday, Gamestop will have a list of games you can trade in. If you trade in two games off their list you can put it towards Mario Kart Wii and get Mario Kart Wii for $10. :)

Thought everyone would like to know that. I went there today asking about a trade in price and the guy told me about this deal.

Are you typing on your phone or something?

Also Smash Brawl hasn't got an EU date yet which is so annoying. However if I bother to get my Friends Code, I'll let you know and we can have a game or two together.

I heard that Brawl was being released on the 1st of May. Maybe that was wrong.

Hold down "ALT" and type 97 on the number pad. Voila, "a"!

you can also make some interesting characters! (ex. Alt 0198 = Æ)

Sorry, I think it's out on the 24th in Europe :(

As far as I was aware, there is still no confirmed release date for Brawl in Europe.

I heard 1st of May too.... so thats annoying :P

What I was saying is that I had low battery and the fact the "A" key was missing didn't help I actually have the "nub" for the "A" just not the actual key so I can still type but it looks weird cos I have to take longer therefore it looks lazy/ on a phone.
Tho I also have an Eee Pc but its limitations is that the keys are really close together :P (can't win either way)

It's not that much earlier, really. There's also the fact that you guys got Brawl last month and we still don't even have a definite release date.

Yeah MK Wii is now paid in full. Can't wait. It will keep me busy for two days until GTA IV releases. :-P

I've played a few rounds now and wow.. did Nintendo spend more than 2 months on this title? It's such a ripoff, Double dash + Mario kart DS = Mario kart Wii. NOTHING has changed, absolutely nothing.

Suits me. If it 'ain't broke, don't fix it.

Exactly, that's why I will return my copy and go back to double dash :)

I wouldn't say Rival's comment is perfectly accurate. For example, they did leave out the co-operative racing, the snaking and custom emblems.

I haven't owned a Mario Kart since the SNES. I have played a little Mario Kart DS though. I'm sure I'll enjoy this.

Mario Kart DS is fun, I have it. Hey, how do you power slide boost in the DS game? I know how to power slide but one of the challenges is to perform 4 power and boosts. There are no "items" on the track so it must be a button press while power sliding with the right trigger. Any ideas?

HylianHitman
April 23rd, 2008, 21:26
I think you gotta press left and right on the d-pad until you get orange sparks coming from the wheels. I think that's it.

Ok so I picked the game up yesterday morning. I actually enjoy it quite a bit. Using the steering wheel is perfect, not sure why I've read that so many people don't care for it. It works flawlessly. Good game to play until GTA 4 comes out! Oh wait... that's TOMORROW!!! WOOOOO!!

I have not bought this game YET!.. but I played it for the first time yesterday and I thought it was great fun! The steering wheel worked fine for me!
