Fuck yeah.

"The second big difference (in Mario Kart Wii compared to the rest of the series) is the removal of snaking. Ever since the N64 game, practically every Mario Kart game has included the ability to get a speed boost by waggling the controls left and right as you powerslide. This has finally been scrapped, and now your speed boost is determined by how long you can hold the slide."

Oh well. It was good while it lasted. But I am kinda glad that it is scrapped, it was getting boring.

"When youââ,¬â,,¢re not going full-throttle toward the finish line, you can see how you stack up against others in the Mario Kart Channel . Here, your best times on tracks are compared to other racers from around the world. You can also see which characters and control methods were used to record this time. See someone with a better time than yours? The Mario Kart Channel also lets you download their ghost data to your Wii and race against the best!"

Probably old news because I haven't been keeping track of MKWii. But that just made my day.

Fuck."

Well, now there will be officially no skill involved in MKWii. Damn, I was so excited to snake by tilting the wii-mote.

[Nyerp]

Wh...wha??? I used to do that all the time...weren't you supposed to? I remember NSider fags whining about people snaking...it's a part of the game you're meant to use and not to mention how easy it is to pull off.

Fuck you Nintendo.

Well...kinda, but this habit is going to be hard to break.
