MKWii Official Competiton #6

By Ace Jon. Friday, 18. July 2008, 12:03:36

, , , ...


On Tuesday, Nintendo announced a new competition for Mario Kart Wii. You'll have to enter between 15th July and 25th July, so get going!
Take part in a VS Race in the eerie darkness of DS Twilight House. It's a Wii Wheel only competition, so keep your hands on the wheel!

Who's going to enter?

I hope to keep posting these competitions as Nintendo makes them available; it's a pity we had to start at the sixth competition. :smile:

Mario Kart Header!

By Khadgar. Sunday, 29. June 2008, 06:32:37

, , , ...

Believe it or not I actually began on this in MARCH after you guys wanted a Mario Kart header. I finally finish it a couple of days shy of JULY. Whew. Not so speedy is it?

Anyway, considering we missed the release of Mario Kart by a few months I decided it'd still be fitting to put us beating the snot out of each other racing on a fictional track modeled after the graphics used to advertise Opera 9.5. We might not be going so fast, though. We seem too occupied with destroying each other than actually racing... well maybe not Seaempty. Heck, Lutherjw can't even decide which way he wants to go! How fitting. Opera's released a great update to their browser, and we're all about Nintendo and Opera, so here's something to display our appreciation for Opera. Besides, without them we wouldn't even have this log here!

As usual, the header doesn't show all of the image. You can view a high res image in the N+ Design Album in the photos section of this site.

Super Mario RPG to Hit Japanese VC Friday

By lutherjw. Saturday, 21. June 2008, 05:05:01

, , , ...

Somewhat ironically, a while back Super Mario RPG was rated/leaked by the OFLC. Since then, we've been waiting for any word on when the title will be released in North America or PAL regions. Unfortunately, we still don't have that news.

However, Nintendo of Japan announced that the game will hit their VC service this Friday, so it can't be long until it makes it way over here!

Mario Kart Madness

By seaempty. Friday, 2. May 2008, 17:56:54

, , , ...


We love the new Mario Kart here at N+. It seems we're not the only ones. There are a couple of threads in our forum that may interest those who are as addicted to the game as we are!

First up in the Friend Code thread, where a few of us have already posted our codes. We plan to have a weekly N+ Grand Prix which will take place on Sunday nights at 8pm GMT (20:00). If you fancy pitting yourself against other N+ members, post your code in the thread and log on at that time to join in with the fun! One of the mods should have opened a room for you to join. We'll also be using the N+ Chat Room to help communicate.

Next is a challenge laid down by sm197. He is a bit of a speed demon (and that's an understatement), and has started a Time Trial thread. Each week a new course will be chosen, and everyone can post their lap times.

In the future N+ will hopefully be running a special tournament, but more of this later...

Mario Kart B-Wii-tle: Best Prize Ever?

By seaempty. Tuesday, 25. March 2008, 14:02:57

, , , ...


To make sure the release of Mario Kart Wii goes off with a bang, GAME are offering UK inhabitants the chance to win this incredibly awesome customized VW Beetle.

TO be in with a chance to win the car, all you have to do is pop into one of the 30 stores that are involved in the comp on 5th April, and record the fastest lap on the game. All players will receive a certificate of their lap time and will be entered into a prize draw for a £50 GAME Voucher, and the winner from each store wins a £250 experience day voucher and will get an expenses-paid trip to the Mario Kart Wii launch party. There they will be able to compete to win the Mario themed car.

It's just a shame that my nearest store is in Portsmouth, and due to a ridiculous local town rivalry, I can never step foot in it.

Mario Kart Wii Trailer

By CaptainSeagull. Sunday, 23. March 2008, 05:19:58

, , , ...

The official trailer for Mario Kart Wii is out, and it looks pretty sweet! Hopefully the online runs smoother for me than Super Smash Bros Brawl is. I had a match earlier today with MK and Khadgar and I couldn't get a single attack off, I had about a two second lag!

Anyway "Read More" to check out the trailer and salivate! as Mario Kart is one of the best franchises out there, and in my opinion, the BEST racing franchise 3V4R!

Mario Kart Wii Dated For The US

By seaempty. Wednesday, 12. March 2008, 13:22:53

, , , ...


So let me get this straight... America gets Brawl before Europe, with no indication when the game will reach us, but Europe get Mario Kart Wii before the US to keep us sweet. OK, fair enough. Then it's announced that Mario Kart Wii will be release in the US on 27th April 2008, so it's pretty much a worldwide launch.

It may sound petty, but that's a pretty good kick in the face for Europe. Anyhoo, I shouldn't really be negative - it should be a top game after all, and the more people online with it, the better!

UPDATE! Full press release after the break.

Mario - How Far We've Come

By G-off. Tuesday, 4. March 2008, 22:14:15

, , , ...

I've found an wonderful video made by Warchamp7, a member of SmashBrawlRankings.com, that shows the evolution of Mario through his various platformers, leading right up to Smash Bros. Brawl. Accompanied with Matchbox Twenty's How Far We've Come, this video is incredibly excellent. It is also coupled with a post by SBR member Supra which is a great fan's take on how Mario has evolved over the years.

New Mario Kart Wii GDC Trailer

By Khadgar. Monday, 25. February 2008, 00:07:40

Joel made a post this past Thursday with a GDC trailer courtesy of Gametrailers.com, but it was hampered by the crowd's noises, and apparently it didn't even contain the entire trailer. So here's the entire trailer and without the annoying crowd noises.

Mario Kart Wii Trailer from GDC

By lutherjw. Thursday, 21. February 2008, 20:21:16

, , , ...

The Mario Kart Wii news has been pouring in over the past few days, thanks to the awesomeness of GDC. From the new information to the screenshots, the hype level has skyrocketed for this game.

Thanks to the folks at IGN, we have a new gameplay trailer which makes the game look amazing. Those worried about the jaggedness of the screenshots shouldn't be too worried after seeing this. FYI: This trailer was recorded off screen, so there's a lot of background noise. Boo.
