I just Wii'd myself with Excitement

[LuvPeckham]

There is a post on the 'wanted' section talking about Nintendo Wii and setting it up on line.

Part of the post goes off at a tangent and talks about a East Dulwich Mario Kart race... which got me thinking

How many people have a Wii on here, how many have Mario Kart (don't get me started on Wii Fit... Wii Blumming Heart Attack more like) and is there enough people who want a race In Mario Kart ?

if so then post your Mario Kart Driving Licence code here and suggest a date for a race night plus which cup we are racing for (how sad being in on a summers evening but ...) I will post my code here later on when I get a chance to get on the Wii

Oh yes, and strangely enough I race under the name of 'Auntie Bob' not LuvPeckham... :-S

[mockney piers]

How on earth do yo uget hold of Mario Kart, I haven't seen one in the shops since April. Took me two months to find a blimmin' wii fit.

[Asset]

we've got Mario Kart. I'll get young master Asset to sort out the license number. I love it!

[Shu.Kurimu.Sensei]

Good idea, count me in :))

[Siduhe]

Count me in. As one of the originators of the idea, I should say that it's largely because I am fed up of getting nudged off the track by 10 year old French children when I do the "continent race". Also, because I am rubbish and normally play at midnight after a bottle of red wine...

mp - Play.com served up Mario Kart for us in 48 hours, no problems.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I'm awfully good at the incontinence race (and am posting after a bottle of red wine) - does that count?

[citizenED]

Careful guys, you could do yourself a Wii'njury

[buggie]

haven't got mario kart (yet) but got Mr Buggie wii fit for his birthday, Couldn't find it in the shops but managed to find one not too over the odds on ebay. We've got quite competitive trying to beat each others records, don't think it can be played over the internet but can't wait to have more friends round to play it!

[Shu.Kurimu.Sensei]

Did you spring for 2 boards?

Very exciting to think there are so many closet Wii'ers out there in ED! And I know it's not exactly in the virtual spirit of the forum, but there are probably enough of us with the game for everyone to join in - we could have at least 2 people come round to us, if they have their own controllers.

[LuvPeckham]

Okay let us get this party started

Auntie Bob's Driving Licence number is 0731-4909-7027 B)

add that code to your mario kart friends list and it should send me an invite to link up... if it doesn't PM me and let me know your code...

I suspect that a week is needed to get peoples codes up and then we can race (not the rainbow raceway as it makes my eyes hurt !!!)

Let me tentatively suggest Monday 18th August at 8pm for race night!!!

[Keef]

I can probably borrow the game off my friend whilst he goes off on his honeymoon. Will keep you posted.

[LuvPeckham]

Keef, I would suggest you borrow it as soon as you can as you will need to practice first...

When I did my first internet race I had my backside whipped by some spotty japanese kid* who choose the most difficult course available... (* yeah I know some people pay good money for treatments like that but not my cup of tea !!(6))

[Asset]

my driver's license number is 0989-3800-3805.

I won't be around on the 18th, better get some practise in!

[Ant]

Will get on me Wii this evening and sort out codes, am definitely up for this.

As I said, the 18th was a tentative suggestion and we can always move it OR have multiple nights of Karting

Open to suggestions

[MelbourneGr]

I'd give it a go!

[Keef]

What about character selection, how does that work?

[LuvPeckham]

That sir, is something you will find out on race night (let's be honest here, I can't remember)

[MelbourneGr]

If goes to the character select screen after you link up.

It's not the easiest multiplayer system - took a few times to get it working with a m8 once.

[mockney piers]

Open to all so the more we get the more of a challange it will be

I will update this list as we get more codes registered and as I also get people's character names...
