Yes folks, I finally got Mario Kart Wii! I'm currently working through the game.  I know, I'm a bit slow, but hell this game is great so far.  Last night I gave it 4 hours of play, and in result, I love it.  The game rocks, and I wish they could of done like smash bros did, where you can take snapshot of yourself in GP mode or something creative (even like logo creation at least) so it could of been PERFECT.  Online gameplay is SWEAT compare to Smash Bros.  The added Channel that comes with really creates a new dimension for how you feel for a game period.  That was what I was wishing for Smash, but oh well, maybe next time. 

As for the controls, I like the wheel.  Yet if I'm gonna go hardcore with others, I'm using the GC controllers hands down.  The wheel for many who suffer wrist problems will have pains after they finish playing. The game is very intense, and the controls are responsive but you wish you could go beyond it sometimes. Example, You wish you could drift mini-boost  all the times possible. If you're like me, the wheel will break your thumb just after you end lap 3. It rocks in its intensity, so when you pick up a GC controller, you'll feel like there is no challenge, but if you enter 150cc GP mode, get ready for a brutal experience with a regular classic controller or a GC controller if you have one.

That's my impression for now... time to go and play now!
