Crazy Wii Girl Strikes Again!

I know the video quality is terrible, its from my phone, but it is still funny to watch her almost fall off the Wii Fit Board trying to trick off of ramps while playing Shaun White Snowboarding - Road Trip

Next time I will be ready with my better digital camera! So far this game has been pretty fun!

Old Games are Still FUN!!!

I will let this hilarious Wii Sports Boxing video do all the talking!!!

Crazy Video Mario Kart Glitches

Very little of this video is useful, but still fun to watch if you have played much Mario Kart Wii. The Dodging blue shell stuff is kind of useful and might be a shortcut on Warios Goldmine also.

Makes you wonder how much free time this person has....

I just bagged Rapala Fishing Frenzy

I just picked up a new bass fishing game for the Nintendo Wii. Its the new Rapala Fishing Frenzy game. I thought this would help me get through another long winter. Check out the trailer for the game....


Also, I got a few screen shots for you to look at....





I have not had time to actually play it, but I did open the box, its nice that it comes with an adapter to fit the existing Wii controller, so you do not have to actually buy a specific controller for this game, a big plus in my book.

As soon as things slow down and cool off outside, I will fire it up and give a full review!!!!

Automatic vs. Manual - Mario Kart Wii

This is probably one of the biggest question when it comes to serious Mario Kart drivers and one beginners actually ponder about when they first start racing. So what really is the difference & which is better?

Well, first off, manual and automatic have nothing to do with shifting, it actually refers to drifting. From what I understand, drifting has always been manual on previous Mario Kart, where you hold a button into a turn to create a drift until the sparks behind your kart change colors and you let go and get a speed burst. So new to Nintendo Wii is the Automatic drift, so Karts & Bikes automaticly drift into corners. From what I have read, Automatic turns and drifts a little better and faster to compensate for the lack of speed boosts, trying to make them somewhat equal.

You drift by holding the "B" or trigger on the back of the remote or wii wheel when going into and holding during a turn. First you will get blue sparks from kart & bikes, when you let go of B out of the turn, you will get a speed burst. For Karts, if you can hold the drift longer, you will get orange sparks and get an even bigger burst of speed. I think karts get that to make up for lack of speed bursts that bikes can get from wheelies.

The purists will tell you that Automatic is for "noobs" and beginners and that its no fun to drive in automatic and some automatic users will tell you there are just as good with Automatic when racing against manual racers.

For the most part, I have done most of my racing on Automatic setting. I have managed to unlock nearly all the staff ghosts and beat a few expert ghosts so far with Automatic (not spent much time doing so) and have an online WFC rating of 6400+ which is not great but respectable.

Its my opinion for all out speed, manual is faster, thus all but one world record comes from manual racres, Moonview Highway being the one exception. So if you are trying to really nail down time trials, manual will be the way to go in the long run.

As far as Grand Prix and WFC racing, I think Automatic can work very well. There are many more variables when playing with other players that may limit the benefits of manual and automatic may have some benefits, so try them out, use what works best for you!!

Below is a video of a guy somebody using their mii character in a wild wing kart on Luigi Circuit demonstrating the drift

Fun Wii Sports Bowling Trick

Just trying to add some variety the Mario Kart info, there will be plenty more Mario Kart info to come, don't' worry ;) This is to show you how to throw your bowling backwards and get a reaction from the crowd.

This especially fun when you have some friends over to show off a bit, you can roll your bowl backwards and make all the miis in the crowd jump, kind of fun. Below is a YouTube video of it


Basically you just let go of the trigger on your back swing and it should work for you, I was able to do it on my first try. Plus, it let's you re-throw, so you can show off during a game and it will not effect your scoring!
