I don't know about you guys but I feel lucky and fortunate that we are able to play such a great piece of Nintendo's history. Lets not forget that we weren't even able to get online back when super mario kart and mario kart 64 were out in the early 90's and people still had a blast. So instead of complaining and saying that you are going to sell your copy of mario kart, Maybe you should be grateful that your even able to play...even if its not online. I'm sure there are millions of less fortunate kids around the world that with give anything just to play even one lap.

God Bless.

I understand what you are saying, but who are you to tell others what is fun and what isn't? If they aren't having fun because they can't get online then oh well.

I personally am very happy with Mario Kart with the internet or not.

I'm inclined to agree with SlowDeer. People have the right to sell the game if they don't like it. If Nintendo says we'll be able to play online, then people should expect this as standard. In fact, if I couldn't get online I would sell it as well, as that was my only major reason for buying the game (competing against the absurdly overpowered AI in the later cups is no fun at all).

I bought MOHH2 with the intention of playing online with my friends .. .. .. purely for the fun of it 'cause I'm rubbish at that type of game .. .. .. but issues between my ISP and EA meant that I couldn't play it online so I sold it.


If people are getting frustrated at the online service and want to sell then encourage them to .. .. .. that way the servers will be clear quicker and the rest of us can get back to the gaming we enjoyed before April 27th .. .. ..

I was able to play online until the Americans got the game. Offline gameplay is too balanced. If you're good, you get three blue shells in a row. Online the best racer wins and that's why online play is a lot better. People who want to sell their copy, or who are just saying so to get attention, should just wait. I'm quite sure Nintendo will look into it. I wouldn't even mind if they had servers for paid users.

Nintendo have already said that the servers arent up to scratch because its new, and they are working on repairing them. That wont take long, so relax lol.

I only have trouble getting online in the peak time hours of the day. Otherwise its fine.

Damn you Eagles! Haha, i'm probably having enough problems to make up for yours! I'm kind of mixed on this one, i have no intention of selling the game, i mean it really is early days. I am frustrated at how often i can't get online with it but when that happens well, i just wait it out and play another game in the mean time! Let's just see what happens and hope Nintendo get those servers working nicely!

It must be because both of us are from Perth Roast. Unlucky Kettricken, think of all those nice Rainbow Road races you're missing out on.
