I’m Too Good for 100cc!

After watching all the videos online about Mario Kart for the Wii, I drove myself over to the local Gamestop to pick up the latest and HOTEST game for the Wii! Let me tell you that it is AWESOME!
First off, I had to get an extra control wheel to play against someone. There was already one packaged with the game. The little Wii mote fits in sideways on the wheel to allow you to feel like you are actually controlling the vehicle! The 2 button is for gas while the 1 is for brakes. The level of interaction is amazing compared to other handheld controller games on the Xbox or PS3.
I also made a nice short video of Mario Kart starting up and the cute little catchy song at the beginning!

Next is a few photos in a slideslow of myself unboxing the game and extra wheel!

Wii Fit
The Wii Fit comes out in just a few weeks! I think this looks absolutely amazing! I preordered it today at the Gamestop and was told
“Due to the high demand and Nintendo not making enough of the Wii Fits, you won’t get yours until May 23 (two days after the release) in the 2nd shipment”
I can’t believe that! I knew I should have preordered my Wii Fit a long time ago! Oh well, I am still going to try to go to the store on the 21st to see if anyone cancelled their preorder and snatch one of the Wii Fits on launch day!
If you have a Wii, post your code so I can add you as a friend and see your Mii!! and we can even play against each other on Mario Kart!
Have you preordered your Wii Fit yet?

Yeah, the thing is really cool. Only drawback is, when you wanna play lazy-style, slacking of on the couch, you´ll keep going into walls all the time unless you hold your controller differently. :)
Otherwise there is nothing funnier than bombing your opponent a few inches short of the goal line.
Keep racing

@Schubsta: Hey Chris!
I love the whole interactivity of the Wii! The whole wheel thing is amazing, but I think the Wii Fit is going to flow these other accessories away!
