WII Mario Kart - Irishkop race?

[RedWally]

Would any of you with Wii's and Mario Kart be interested in an online race?

[D-Red]

[jaza]

No panic even if it takes 2 weeks to organise. I think we can have upto 12 people playing. Apart from a one off race do any of you know if you can set up your own tournament or do you have to go on Nintendo organised ones?

[D-Red]

I'd say Dub13 would join in too.

He's determined to wreck that Wii before the kids get a chance to play it :D

[corcaigh]

Id like too but my mario kart is back home and without BB. :(

[Dublin Red]

I'd like to as well, but I've only played it once since I got it, pissed (!), and haven't had time to practise since.

Not comin last!!!

Will join in when I get a little more adept ;)

Pity there's no Tractor in Mariokart Monty. ;)

If there was, i'd still whip your Luas loving arse.

[mrpotatohead]

This could be a stupid question, I am a bit of an amateur when it comes to online games, can you play the bowling online?

[Dub13]

Got me wii set up on line last night, didnt actually play mario kart on it yet, but i downloaded mario bros the original game, and i went square eyed from playing it for about 3 hours!!
I'm gonna be having the same addictions/concentration problems as David James at work!!

[RedWally]

the best wii game to play on line is mario v sonic at the olympics now thers a challange whod be up for that

We will go with Mario Kart first as it's likely more people have it.

[RedWally]

Well guys - I gave ye a few weeks to practice. When suits you all best to have our first race? The later at night, the better suits me. Maybe 10pm? Mon, Wed or Thurs is best.

[cakesnjelly]

My Daughter's got a WII and Mario kart but what do have to do to get it wired up to broadband, and will it still be on the telly screen or do i have to play it on the laptop

Will still be on the telly. If you have wireless broadband in your house then the WII should be able to connect to it similarly to your laptop. Any other questions post here or PM me.

[mrpotatohead]

Played my first online game last night......not sure if it was my kart selection or what, but the best I could get was third in about 6 races!! Great fun all the same!!
Any advice on kart/bike selection RedWally? you seem to be the man in the know here!!

[RedWally]

Well you've all had plenty time to practice on your WII's. Please select night of week that suits you best for racing.

[mrpotatohead]

I can play more or less any time or not any time, as in I wouldnt be able to commit to an evening as my workload changes week by week (and my hectic social schedule working the red carpets etc!) so i wont vote and potentially alter the course of the poll.

[Bren100]

Ive only bought my Wii so as soon as I get mario cart Im interested.


Anyone advise where they got it cheapest? Ebay?

[Tilly]

There all around the same price everywhere i think ,to lazy to go looking myself!

[CrazyHorse]

Stupid question coming up.....

Can I just hook the wii up the phone line, I have broadband in, so Im thinking that should do the trick... or will it???

[nern]

do you have a wireless router? the wii can just connect to that ...not sure if it has a wired connection
