Want to play some MKWII multiplayer?
PLAYERS TRACKER:

You need:
https://wiki.tockdom.com/wiki/Retro_Rewind
>Retro Rewind is a custom track distribution created by ZPL. It features every retro track from Super Mario Kart to Mario Kart 7, as well as some Mario Kart 8, Mario Kart Tour and Mario Kart Arcade GP tracks. As of v6.1.3, it also contains a custom track distribution with 80 original designs
>The distribution also features its own Homebrew application, auto updater and custom online server.
And either dolphin on your PC or a modded Wii:
>How to mod a Wii?
https://wii.hacks.guide/get-started
also a great guide in general for wii modding if you're interested in homebrew and want some use out of your old console.
>How to play on PC?
https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Installing_Dolphin
then follow the tutorial on the retrorewind link for dolphin
This is a first try on a thread for this. The idea came up yesterday with another anon where he showed me this and we thought someone else with a spare wii or a dolphin emu might be interested. For now player count is ~50 on avg and rooms are easily found after about 10 seconds of waiting.
feel free to make rooms if someone is interested, or just join up a random one. i'll play at around 21:00 CEST Have fun!
is it related to wiimmfi? can i work also on mkds?
>>713800696>Is it related to wimmfiYes, in the sense that every mario kart multiplayer mod needs wimmfi to work if you play on a wii and not on dolphin. see https://wii.hacks.guide/nintendowfc , it's a pretty straightforward guide (be sure to mod the wii first with the guide on the OP, it's the same website with a step by step guide)
>mkdsI think this is exclusively for mario kart wii, it probably also works on a wii U other than a wii and a PC with dolphin. there are a lot of DS tracks though
So this is to play custom tracks online? Would this work to play the vanilla game online too with Dolphin?
>>713803297it's custom tracks but you can also make a room to play vanilla i think. on random most people play custom if you look at the tracker.
>>713800554 (OP)I doesn't work without port forwarding.
>>713800554 (OP)How long will you be on tonight?
t. EDT timezone where your 21:00 is my 15:00 when I am still working
>>713803652I see, i know CTGP allowed you to join both normal wiimfi server and custom ones, I assume the tracker is only for the mod. Looks pretty cool, I'll probably check it out tommorow thanks for the thread
>>713803789you don't need port forwarding or upnp or messing around with your router, it works like a normal console.
>>713803823yesterday i stayed up until 05:00 CEST lol i had a little too much fun (between breaks tho). i think i'll stay at least until 00:00 but all the people in there are not affiliated with this thread so you will most likely find people to play anyways. my mii nick is misu btw (and i suck).
>>713803972you're welcome! yes the tracker is only for that mod. i'm pretty new to the scene so idk if there are some other mods with this many player that just play vanilla. one of the reason i choose this and not CTGP is because CTGP is not completely open source for some reason (at least last time i played it wasn't) and i think i remember it having less players? anyways, if people want something else i might also just change the OP, feel free to do whatever you like
>>713803789>>713804279*correction, unless you mean port forwarding on your PC for dolphin, that i don't know. if you need to it's probably written on the guide in the OP links.
>>713800554 (OP)I play it regularly; the game easily finds people for it. The issue is that there's a solid 2 minute wait timer in between races. I think they should do online with 4-race cups.
>>713805479to be honest i didn't notice the wait that much
>I think they should do online with 4-race cups.is there some mod with a live playerbase that does this? that would be cool
>>713800554 (OP)No, anon, I do not wish to play Funky Bike Wii
>>713807090there should be a mode that makes everyone use randomized vehicles.
>>713804279When I tried playing Mario Kart online on Wii it wouln't let me, the error code was something about port forwarding.
>>713807697you have to give the exact message anon otherwise no one can really help
>>713808937damn i wish i had a crt that i could hook up the wii into. i have a trinitron but vga only, i have to use a SCART lcd from 2004 ( ; โ ; )
>>713800554 (OP)Can I play it single player offline?
>>713800554 (OP)Does it work for the Wii U?
>>713809275That still sounds nice for old PC games or Dreamcast though. Anyways this mod seems cool, they even have the purple boost from deluxe
>>713807159>anyone who doesn't roll an inward drift bike doesn't get to play the game
>>713809789sure!
>>713809858the wii hack website has a guide for the wii so i think so. in any case i just picked up a used wii U to mod, so i'll write it in the OP if it works next time
>>713809923glad this thread is bringing some fun (*๏ผพโฝ๏ผพ)/
>>713810313>has a guide for the wii*for the wii U
also i just remembered the folder in the retro rewind zip has a wad for wii and a wad for wii U so most likely yes
>>713807090>muh Funky BikeShut up fag
>>713811273whats the mkw equivalent
>>713811273The power gap between tiny wheels + meta character and everyone else in 8 is far smaller than Funky/Daisy + inward drift bike and everyone else on a kart in Wii. MKWii has many things going for it, but balance is not one of them.
>>713811606Toadette in Baby Blooper.
>>713812031>>713811787 <- just aged like fine wine
>>713812297I'd argue Baby Blooper meta is worse than anything MKWii offered since no other kart compares to it stat-wise, whereas Wii's SSMTs and other mechanics give other bikes like Bullet, Dolphin Dasher and Magikruiser a chance to shine.
Nothing's as bad as MKDD Barrel Train however, but that game doesn't have online multiplayer so who cares.
>>713812297but that's world, not 8
>>713813059>>713813152i'm just joking guys lol, my last mario kart was mkwii
>wheelies
>inside drift bikes are the only viable vehicles
no thank you
>snoys are making bootleg MK Wii generals because World mindbroke them so hard
Holy shit that's pathetic
Don't respond to the obvious bait.
Respond to ME instead.
What is the best way to play MKWii on a hacked switch? Classic or GC controller?
>>713813258you are dented in the head if you think die hard sony fans make a mario kart wii thread
>>713813405I meant hacked Wii. my bad
>MKDD, DS and Wii threads existed for years>now it's suddenly a bad thingI hate console war infighting so much.
>>713813405I tend to prefer GC since it's wired/doesn't need batteries and for convenience since I play other GC games on it, but you can't go wrong with either. Lately I've been preferring Nunchucks.
>>713813407Snoys love to revisionize any pre-Switch Nintendo game because the Switch mindbroke them so hard. This entire thread reeks of contrarian cubesnoys seething at the Switch 2.
>>713813480i got surprised for a moment thinking that wii emu was possible on switch lol. anyways classic + nunchuck is my pick but as a kid i was pretty hardcore wheel player though (๏ฝๆฆยด)
>>713813251>add wheelies>don't give karts anything to compensateWhat were they thinking?
>>713814826The intent at balancing was that Karts got yellow drift boosts and faster top speed overall, while bikes got wheelies. The problem is that even the slowest bike's wheelie is faster than the fastest kart's top speed, you can cancel out of wheelies any time by pressing down on the D-pad or the drift button so the risk/reward of getting wheeliebumped and having to commit to a straight are gone, and that bikes ALSO have inside drift which is objectively better in almost every scenario. The only time a Kart is better is in Rainbow Road since there aren't enough straights to warrant bike wheelies, and the turns are wide enough to benefit outside drift.
As an aside, since this thread's talking about Retro Rewind, that modpack tries to fix kart balance by giving them hybrid drifting and MK8's pink miniturbo boosts.
>>713813582>>713813480You're trying too hard, snoy.
713816434
>snoy bumping xer contrarian shitpost thread because the World thread is drowning it
>>713807090there's a rebalance mod but I don't think this distribution includes it
>>713817516Deluxe has jeet tier graphic changes
>>713813059To be fair, I think the problem with DD is Toad and Toadette more than anything. DD Gold Mushroom is so retarded.
>>713800554 (OP)>try to install retro rewind via wheel wizard (recommended for dolphin)>works at first, then decides to load a botched version that comes with none of the custom tracks>attempts to reinstall either crash as soon as it's done, forcing me to wait again, or it installs but it's still botchedI have no fucking clue what to do.

op here, i have some stuff to do so if the thread gets archived feel free to make another one (with a similar op text possibly). otherwise i'll just make one towards 20-21 CEST. hope you're having fun!
>>713818613Golden Mushrooms are pretty low-tier when it comes to lightweight specials, since they're essentially 5 consecutive mushrooms in a game where no shortcuts warrant that many uses and snaking is already a dominant way of racking up speed. The Koopas are better since you typically gain access to triple reds in second and below for offense, and triple greens in first and other high positions both for defense and offense. Jr.'s alright, too. Diddy would be the best for frontrunning due to the giant banana's utility for trapping, and while it does work as intended in multiplayer, he's worthless in single player since the AI phases through stationary items. Babies are horrible.
As for why the Barrel Train is undeniably the most broken kart, it has the 2nd fastest top speed, average acceleration and good offroad (when most speed-based karts completely tank both stats), decent weight to be able to bump middleweights, the smallest hitbox, and notably, the way the kart is built allows it to work with DD's physics since it bounces around the least offering the most stability, a rear-tires-first turning style that plays into snaking perfectly (combined with lights having the longest drift miniturbo time). No other kart in the game can compare at all, but it doesn't get talked about as much as Dry Bones Dry Bomber, Funky Flame, Metal Mario Red Monsters and Yoshi Inkstriker due to the game being completely offline.
>>713819001oh and by the way one last thing, i was thinking if it's more convenient to move to /vr/ or /vg/. let me know what you think
>>713819001Sounds good,
>>713803823 here but I don't think I can be on and play with you unless you plan on staying up until the same time, likely past midnight your time. I would have to download the mod, set up my Wii again after packing it up, and find a way to cool off in the room where my CRT connected consoles is.
>>713800554 (OP)Neat idea. I'll give it a try
Eric thread, don't reply
Hide the thread and say goodbye.
Don't for it, it's all a ploy

>>713820013no one thinks you're funny.
Egg 1 and ROB BLS are just as good as the Dry Bomber if not better in many situations.

I can identify you by your retarded posting pattern, Eric. It isn't hard. It doesn't help that you never attempt to mask your retarded replies. It's always the same retarded style of opposing Nintendo with shitposting around some other platform or attempting to suddenly a retarded "centrist" position yelling "RENTFREE RENTFREE RENT FREE SCHIOSCHIZOSCHIZOSCHIZOSCHIZOSCHIZO" when called out for your bullshit.

>>713812031>>713819726I'm more surprised Daisy's been near-meta for 3 games in a row
>>713800554 (OP)>Want to play some MKWII multiplayer?No
Double Dash or pass.
>>713800554 (OP)Can I make this work with USB Loader GX?
>>713821274Looks like there's an ISO builder, so I'd assume it works on USB Loader.
The thing about Retro Rewind is that it was meant to make up for another mod, CTGP-R, being so anal about DRM that they prevented it from working on USB Loader and Dolphin, which ended up killing off its userbase over time. RR doesn't do that at all to make it accessible for people.
>>713821206Does Double Dash even have a reliable way to play multiplayer?
>>713800554 (OP)Installing will be a few minutes let's get some rooms going

damm mario kart world fuck my driving
Surprised at how seamless the course selection and all that is. Haven't played online MKWii in a long time.
>>713819632Thereโs a tech with golds in DD that makes them last much, much longer than they should. Itโs not easy to perform but itโs broken as shit and makes it the best item in the game by far.
finishing up with setting it up, will have time for one to two races before work. make this a weekly thread pls, just in spite of switch 2 tendies.
>>713827157Damn, didn't know about Z-tech. That changes everything, thanks for explaining.
>got everything all setup and running
>doesnt recognize my controller at all
>tried other roms on dolphin, works just fine
well I tried.
I switched to spear for a race cause i relaized there was a brake drift option like in deluxe.
The poor turn radius and mobility still made me cry after a day of playing flame runner.
Tempted to give hybrid Karts a go, never tried them before.
>>713828385yeah spear and sneak still are hard to use
>>713828494try it its a froom
Can I play this with an Xbox controller?
>>713828718on dolphin yeah
>>713828718I play with a 3rd party gamesaar so should be fine since it's through dolphin.
>>713828718op here, i'm back one hour late but i did it! 5 mins and i'm in, next time let's remember to add this to the OP

I booted this shit up but it just says saving don't reset
You alright, Daisy?
>>713830013Might be good to count down when you're going to start in the thread so people don't get locked out for a few rounds.

>>713830679don't worry, so your code
>>713825587 is the way to go right?
>>713830830yeah just add the code and wait for it to open
man i haven't played wii in forever, were item box respawn times always like this?
>>713819737i'd say don't worry about hours, my idea was to make this a weekly thing that stays up all the hours since we're probably from EU and US
>>713830670was afk eating dinner, back now for 1-2 races before work

how many are waiting? i could make another room if needed, we have two right now

>>713835695lmao, have a pity bump
i didn't know this distribution had CTs as well, i thought it was just retro remakes lol
>>713835756bigger player base, ctgp is dead online
>>713835818the host can make it retro tracks only
>>713835756CTGP doesn't support USB Loader and Dolphin, so it's a bigger hassle for new users to set up. The userbase is dying out for CTGP because of that too, most WWs and casual friendrooms are done in RR instead. CTGP's only used for Time Trials now.
damn that was a confusing course
>>713836305Some of the non-retro customs seem pretty iffy in quality.
Lol can't even download the mod for some reason

>>713844092mkwii has snaking?
>>713844092I was to believe snaking wasn't really worth it in MKWii? Or is it better with Hybris or with the Wild Wing?
>>713844678It's worthless in vanilla MK Wii because karts are so outclassed by bikes, but it looks like karts are buffed in this mod.
Won't have access to my Wii until Monday, keep this alive until then, I want to play with you fags.
>>7138452683/12 will give it a minute. Probably my last cup but it was great.
>>713846504Race 3/4 right now, 3/12 players playing, but host will leave after so someone else hosts after.

>>713846563Installing the mod with Wheel Wizard solved all issues on my end
>>713846669I updated the current version of Dolphin I had and it just werk'd
But my controls are now fucked up, it's kind of ass to set up compared to like Smash Remix
>>713846669Apparently you have to do this?
https://wiimmfi.de/patcher/dolphin
>>713846942wheel wizard does it automatically
>>713800554 (OP)I dont have a modded wii. I have dolphn on PC. Will this work on PC ? I don't know where to get a mario kart wii rom
>>713846942Don't do this use wheel wizard
GGs to all and to all a GG. Should be around same time tomorrow (and next Friday) for more.
New host:

2/12 right now.
>>713847102Thanks for hosting anon.
>>713847102Should be regular /v/kend (or /v/iikend) honestly.
3/12, will start in 3 minutes.
3693-6726-8807
>>713846563>>713846803Managed to solve it. I was using an older 5.0 version instead of the lastest stable batch from the Download page
Once i updated it worked just fine (so far)
>>713847102>>713847203hopefully it becomes regular, it's probably good to keep alive a thread throughout the weekends and people either join random or make rooms
>>713846563the hacker known as 4chan got you bro
>>713846927Yeah idk.
I configured my controller, works fine on the settings windows, on menus, but when the race starts it just goes backwards.
>>713847506you have to turn the wiimote bro
I use a Eurobeat music pack, link if anyone wants a nice soundtrack to accompany their driving: https://youtu.be/sj4mBs1_-YU
>>713847040yes it works on dolphin, just search up mario kart wii iso
Room's open again, 4/12. Will start in 3 minutes.
3693-6726-8807
>>713848574I leave for a while, i need to find something to dinner
At least now i know it works and connection is decent, so i'll join later. Thanks for the race!
peak hours are going to be european late evening 21-24 (which finished an hour ago) and american late evening 21-24 (which has to start still). now /v/ is kinda low traffic for its standards but we had two separate full rooms some hours ago
4/12, as usual, will start in 3 minutes.
I'm really enjoying these hybrid Karts, makes me wonder why they weren't always like this.
>>713848574Where's the add friend button? I can't find it on main menu
how do i get good at mario kar twii ? i just unlocked funky kong and am getting shitted on by nintend๐ฌ time trials
>>713849939Go to the Retro WFC option, and then in the Friends menu, it should allow you to add people as a friend.
Current host is 3693-6726-8807, I'll wait a few more minutes so you can get on.
>>713849997YouTube videos
>>713849997just have fun and play what you like most it's the only way to get good. if you like a character pick a character, if you like meta character pick meta character, this mod rebalances some stuff though
>>713850024Got you that was easy
playing the project turboblast demo really fucked up my muscle memory for this game
it's also in slow motion now
>>713847506Finally got it working FUCK
This should be more popular, it's free mario kart experience online.
Garden of Dreams is a SHIT track, why the random roundabout at the beginning, and the little part where water flows just leads to a dead end, why isn't it walled off?
>>713850620that map looks really nice to me
Game crashed on my end, my bad. Can someone else host?
Before I install.
You guys aren't gonna be a bunch of try harding fucks with funky kong right?
>>713850947Most of the players here have been using offmeta characters and trying out the rebalanced Karts. They actually fare well against the best bikes now.
Actually got back on pretty quick, sorry for the inconvenience.
3693-6726-8807
>>713850620Should we disable the new custom tracks, or keep them on?
>>713851178only retros pls
>>713851281Got it, starting in 2 minutes.
4/12.
3693-6726-8807
>>713851358Unable to meet up. Why
>>713851696Room started, sorry you missed it. We'll be over in a bit since each round is 4 races.
>>713847879How I get this on dolphen
Why do people circlejerk flamerunner kart again?
>>713851968download it and put it in your mystuff
>>713851696Open again.
5/12.
3693-6726-8807
>>713852629I was calling the game itself flamerunner kart since that's the only thing anyone is incentivized to use
I'm unironically more used to playing with a Wii Remote and Nunchuck.
Room's open again, 5/12.
3693-6726-8807
>>713852905blame nintendo, only 3 vehicles are worth using, bullet bike, mach bike, and flame runner. Everything else sucks balls
>>713853612Zero variety is not fun, and this game has the least variety out of all of the mario karts with kart selection. So what's so fun about that?
>>713853779I'm not blaming anyone. I'm asking what makes it so appealing
>>713813258Once everyone's a Snoy, no one will be.
>>713853779I won a tournament with the offroader only to later be told by metafags it's dogshit
>>713852405File is down not working
>>713850947Of course not, we all use Daisy on the mach bike instead!
>>713854080The course variety is fun, and despite "the meta" being stupidly strong, the mechanics tied to them like sharp inside drifts and standstill miniturbos are exclusive to this game and a lot of fun to use, compared to the later games' mechanics.
I also don't think it's fair to single out MKWii for poor balance when all online MKs are pretty littered with meta character choices. DS with Yoshi and Dry Bones on their default karts, 7 had Red Monster spam to cheese offroad cuts, and 8 has the Yoshi combos show up nonstop, so it's just as homogenous.
Not a defense against base MKWii but the mod that's been played ITT tries to solve the balancing issues by buffing karts so bikes don't dominate.
5/12. Will close in 3 minutes as usual.
3693-6726-8807
>>713854434https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1nJp8g1F5YtTIABirO3wXjgzwkEd6qygZ
download that and put the files in mystuff in wheel wizard
>>713800554 (OP)Does this mod buff/rebuffed stats ?
>>713855064yes, karts aren't as shitty
>>713855064Auto drift has been changed to "Hybrid drifting", where turning without drifting uses the opposite drift style while drifting uses the typical style. Karts also now have the pink drift boost from MK8D, which combined with the former actually makes them viable.
>>713855303Outside drifting bikes also can get orange mini turbos. Playing offline to get a feel for the tracks, don't think I'll be able to play on Dolphin anyway cause I don't have a NAND dump
>>713855016I didn't use wheel wizard
4/12, room's open again.
3693-6726-8807
>>713855895You can play online without a NAND dump on Retro Rewind.
>>713856003Oh shit, then in that case I may hop on for a few games.
>>713855926ok, go to the retro rewind folder, drag and drop the files to the mystuff folder and then go on dolphin, click start with riivolution, find retro rewind.xml, find the "My stuff" and enable it.
FUCK CTGPR FUCK MRBEAN AND HIS TROON BROTHER
>>713856118We're on the last race now, so the room should be open soon.
I liked watching that twd guy until he kept having that tranny on his channel
>>713856752>ctgp goes to shit the moment chadders troons outIt's always the 41%.
>>713856752That's what happened with the mod? What a fall from grace
Room's open, 5/12. 3 minutes until we start.
3693-6726-8807
>>713849997learning the track shortcuts and getting good with your items, even though it's rng there's still some skill involved.
Am I going to get crushed as a casual? I haven't played this shit in years and I'm only decent at MK8 and World Tour and I know this game has some crazy shortcuts.
>>713857215Nobody ITT's using meta builds, at least, but I think knowing the basics like standstill miniturbos and how to outside/inside drift helps a lot.
do cosmetic mods show up for other players?
>>713856940There's been much less Mayro in recent months but now he's doing World so meh. Besides, NMeade is the cool kids' choice. Also FUCK SHORTCAT HE'S SO FUCKING OBNOXIOUS.
Ok, I am not used to Hybrid Drift at all.
>>713857892I haven't seen anything ever since Mayro started being a mainstay. That voice is like nails on a chalkboard.
>>713858049I haven't seen TWD in a while. Seeing as there's a tranny as a mainstay on his channel, I might've dodged a bullet with that one.
4/12, will start in 3. Should I shorten the wait time?
3693-6726-8807
>>713858049The easy tell on where Mayro isn't present is the World content, the Knockouts and anything else not involving the Midnight distro, Hide & Seek, hard/impossible tracks or a really specific mod. Also the livestreams.
>you have been disconnected from retrowfc
That was fun. Good games and good choice of mod. I hope this become a regular thing on the weekends.
>>713858729>Mario Kart Retro Rewind /v/eekendsSign me up.
>>713858729Good games, mate. Your Waluigi karting's wild.
Can we do custom tracks ?
>>713858982I'm not opposed to it, if others don't mind. CTs only, or included in the mix?
>>713856940 Honestly same. I liked his content back when it was just goofy MK Wii stuff and banter, but somewhere along the way it turned into awkward collabs and virtue signaling. I just want to watch some sweaty item dodges and track skips, not feel like I'm sitting through a Twitter feed.
>>713800554 (OP)I wish they never got rid of wheelies and proper inward drift in later installments. Make karts better instead of removing fun mechanics.
>>713856752>it's realI never knew lol
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPYFPddwR1c
3/12. CTs included, CTs only, or off?
3693-6726-8807
>>713859432Set it to custom tracks on this time around alongside the retros.
>>713804279I definitely prefer this over CTGP. 99% of the courses in that mod are complete trash, and it also has that gay anti-piracy check. Stick to this one, because anyone can easily play it, and it makes the karts somewhat viable.
3/12, will start in 3 minutes.
3693-6726-8807
>>713859971The gimmick of it including every single retro track also makes it an easy entrypoint since most people are familiar with old MK courses. Helps that quality-wise most of the remakes are solid at worst.
>>713803789I'm genuinely curious what percentage of gamers today are capable of port-forwarding. It was never super high but I still think it's much less today
>>713854656Although I do not feel the same way, I appreciate the actual response instead of just calling me a retard
>>713809275Would you happen to know what CRT's are good to get for gaming? I'd make a thread on it but I doubt it'd go anywhere on this board and I'm too out of touch about anything anymore to even know what to post.
you guys want to play kirby air ride online multiplayer like this thread?
>>713861593I'm sure those small grey ones are still easily attainable, though I haven't checked. They're good enough.
>>713861695That would be nice, but probably slightly less accessible because you'd need to play it on Dolphin, and most anons have potatoes that can barely run it.
>>713862204>and most anons have potatoes that can barely run it.how can they not run it at 1080p 60 FPS lol
it's a fucking gamecube game
2/12, will start in 3 minutes. This round will probably be the last one I host for tonight. Good games, everyone.
3693-6726-8807
Also man outside drift bikes are hard to use compared to karts.
Goodnight anons. Can we have a another mario kart thread tomorrow? Way better then the new Mario kart
All done for the night. Thanks for playing!
>>713864158That was fun. Ggs
Are there any online servers for Smash Bros Brawl on Dolphin yet?
>>713800554 (OP)Which is the best mario kart wii mod ? This or ctgp ?
>>713864912CTGP's been dead for years and is only used by Time Trialers now since the ridiculous DRM made it a hassle to play on a regular level, combined with Bean leaving in horribly designed courses because of the "historical value" of them turning people away. CTWWs are dead, so you'll almost never find someone else to play the new tracks with.
Retro Rewind's more accessible to people since it supports USB Loaders and Dolphin, evened out the kart/bike imbalance, and adds every single course from the legacy games in, so it's perfect for casual and serious races. The ease of play alone puts it leagues above CTGP, since Retro WWs are actually active.
I should play this next time.
All retro tracks? Pretty cool.
This sounds great. I'm going to wake up and have to work on setting this up so I can join next time. I've been watching a lot of Mario Kart World videos on youtube wishing I could play and this will scratch that itch.
>>713866852World is boring imo. I played a friend's copy and wasn't too impressed. You'll get more enjoyment out of MKWii.
