Mario Kart Wii Has Me Singin' the Blue Shell Blues

Only a month late, Kombo's David Oxford has finally gotten his hands on his very own copy of Mario Kart Wii. And so far, he's rather enjoying it: the Wii Wheel works fine, and the bikes are fun once you get used to them.

But there's one thing that he just isn't used to, and may never get used to: Those blasted Blue Shells, which turn the whole experience like milk gone sour. Lucky thing there's a way around them, though not without its price.

This man speaks the truth. If I hear a Blue Shell deployed, I throw on the breaks unless I am WAY in first.

If you are lucky use the Mushroom to escape the thing XD

ArtisianDragon5958d ago

That's all I ever hit when I hear that damn thing, Or just drop the controller whichever I feel like doing. Really hate that damn thing :(. Which is why I always try to start in last place and hope to get that or bullet Bill XD

Always remember Polygon's take on MK 8 and how it would end up being worse selling entry in franchise history. Oof. MK 8 deluxe is going to have one hell of a holiday. You know that Switch bundle is coming back.

Sgt_Slaughter1049d ago

Polygon having a bad take? Sounds 100% accurate to me.

Baffles me that they haven't made any new dlc for this, and yet they focus on the mobile game smh

meganick1049d ago

I can only imagine that the Mario Kart devs have been hard at work on the follow-up to 8, hence why it got no dlc.

Inverno1049d ago

We can only assume that they'll show something next year if they are working on the next game. With the way Ninty has been announcing games close to their release they don't leave room for any leaked info

--Onilink--1049d ago

Its not like its the same developer. The one working on the mobile game isnt even a Nintendo developer
