Mario Kart on the Wii is freakin' fun!
And don't lecture me when I throw my Wii steering wheel either, the computer is totally screwing me!

1. My kids gave up on the steering wheels
They love the game but they use the whatchamacallit, instead.

3. I came sooo close a few times but I had to remind myself that I am
a patient person. :rofl:

Don't let me be in 1st place for all three laps and then at the VERY end throw all your shit at me and I get 8th! WTF???

8. When it was on the 64 I HAD to be Yoshi! But on this one for the Wii I am
Waluigi. He is also awesome on some Mario Tennis. He whoops ass on the net. My husband and I are loyal Nintendo fanatics. We still have the Atari, the original Nintendo, the Super Nintendo, the Nintendo 64, the Game Cube, and now the Wii. We can play the Game Cube games on the Wii which is cool. We are dorks, huh?


I am also always Yoshi on Mario Party! You ever play that?

5. It is!!! I loved it on the 64!
I am a laidback gal but I almost got a little ugly earlier. The steering wheel almost "accidentally" left my hands and almost headed towards the TV!! Thank goodness it didn't! My husband would've whipped my ASS!! But still, I think the computer got a little cheat happy!! ;)

14. I love the steering wheel.
It makes the game a little more authentic. Plus, it adds a challenge.

15. Yeah I had to go buy another one so my husband and I could both play.
What is funny is that my husband got me the wii for my birthday when it first came out. Funny how my birthday presents are always toys for him too. This year I got a Sony camera that just so happens to be compatible with his PSP. I wanted a camera but I found it funny that it was a Sony which is a product that HE swears by. Especially since brands like Cannon and Nikon are known for their cameras. And, he has played with that camera like it was his new toy.

ACtually we are both so much alike that our tastes are the same. I would've bought a different brand camera though. Sony is good for our TV and surround sound stuff but that is all. And actually I'd prefer Bose but we could spend some $$$$$$$$. Sony will do.

11. Well yeah! Kinda like it is cheating me on Mario Kart.
How can I be in 1st for all 3 laps but then at the end get blasted and come in 8th? 8th? And this was an important race. Opening a new board depended on it. I had to go back and RE-RACE 4 different races to win that new board. I was one pissed off gal! But that is part of the fun!

I let my husband do the guitar stuff. I found out I am not sooo coordinated. But I now listen to songs to see if they would make good candidates for Guitar Hero. What a dork I am. There was a Guns-n-Roses song that would've been perfect.

13. All you get in 1st place are the bananas!
Sometimes you get an upside down question mark box. I had to tell my husband that you have to leave those where the REAL question mark boxes are so it will "trick" a player. But then it is always me who accidentally hits that question mark box that I left to trick the others.
