Mario kart kicks my ass or I'm just not used to the controls yet. I've been able to unlock most tracks but getting star rankings is quite a challenge. I took a break from Mario Kart and now beating Super Mario Galaxy. I heard you can unlock more characters with a SMG save file on the Wii.

You just suck JT lol

I've actually gotten two stars a few times (you have to win every race with the set of races) 60 Points FTW!! Basically you unlock two things instead of one. But you need to get a gold trophy to unlock more. Basically you have to whoop marios ass to beat the game....I thought I beat it then damn mirror mode showed up.

You got your USB wireless adapter yet?

You should be able to get online via wi-fi on the wii once you have a router. I don't recall using a usb wireless adaptor to get connected.

So basically 60 points in every cup get's you two stars? How do you get 3 stars then? I used to kick double dash's ass on the Gamecube but I need to play this one more to get used to it.

Yeah it's called Ra-Link technology. It's a USB adaptor that has a chipset for a secondary function as a soft access point making your computer a wireless router. Nintendo used to sell an accessory of the like but it soon got discontinued after router companies complained enough. There are still generic versions on eBay. I got mine just have to install it. What's yall's gamer codes (if you need one). Shoot it to me on PM.

Never gotten 3 stars before, not sure if that's possible.


Ill have to root through the system after work and find my PIN code so we can race each other.

I suggest you consider port forwarding you wireless router for the Wii.  It will help with the lag you will certainly experience in COD:WAW and Conduit to a lesser extent.
 
Surprised no COD posts yet.  I'm addicted to that game, 7th prestige!  I play on Team Speak with a bunch of older gents from around the world.  Saturday night is bottoms up night, every drinks after a win!

Okay I am finally setup with my Wii online. How do I find you guys?

I think I might get COD next. I've played on the PC for the longest time.

I'm on and off addicted to COD but on the PS3. For instance last week on my day off I was playing for like 4 hours straight.

[DV8mAn]

suggest you COD on PC and PS3 guys play the wii version with an open mind....  fewer maps, only 4v4 online, graphics arent as good, cant patch the glitch spots.   BUT, the game play with the wiimote makes it all worth it.

Blackhawk-  think mario cart uses the friend code system.  Find yours and exchange with those you want to add.  after you each enter the friend code you can play together.  Its sorta like the BB pin code system.  Dont forget to port forward your Wii!!

[Blackhawk]

I'll remember the port forward thing. What exactly does it do? is it an option I have to select on my router interface?  Thanks man...

[DV8mAn]

Port forwarding reduces lag on your end by "fast tracking" the connection thru your wireless router.  Google it for specifics, there are websites that walk you thru the steps.  Not that hard.  In layman's terms, you give your wii a static IP address to your router and open the ports a particular game uses.  By doing this, you bypass the router's internal firewall etc and speed up the connection.  Only do this with your wii, it is not safe to port forward a computer.

I'm in the process of loading all my wii games on an external hard drive so I dont have to change the disks out.  cant wait till that's done!

[Blackhawk]

Thanks for the info, Jason. Okay I have PMed my friend code to pretty much all you guys with hopes of creating a room just for us ECM guys to race. Add me in so we can get this party started soon

[slipkord]

Hells yeah man! hope we can play after work today, I wonder if we can talk to each other like on COD?
