There’s never been a better time to equip your wallet.This Day in Gaming 🎂In retro news, I'm using a rocket start to light a 17-candle cake for Mario Kart Wii. I played the pedals off this pioneering entry, which added motorbikes, a trick-based drifting system, and the worldwide MP of Nintendo Wi-Fi online. Admittedly, my heart belongs to Mario Kart 64 above all, but I still couldn't put my Wii Steering Wheel down for months (another series first addition). Beloved for its colourful track designs, iconic character roster, and upbeat soundtrack, Mario Kart Wii delivered the perfect blend of whimsy and competition. The revamped Battle Mode arenas rekindled classic head-to-head fun, making every match a chaotic joy. Its accessible pick-up-and-play mechanics ensured newcomers could dive in instantly, yet there was depth in drifting and item-strategy.Aussie bdays for notable games- FlOw (PSP) 2008. eBay- Mario Kart Wii (Wii) 2008. eBay- Time Crisis 4 (PS3) 2008. eBay- The World Ends With You (DS) 2008. eBay- Trials Fusion (PC) 2014.
