So Mario Karts is a pretty good game then? Not gone on line with the Wii yet ... what's it like for gaming on line ??

Karts is excellent! I'm sure the Wii fit thing is pretty cool too if you make an effort with it, the boxing got me all out of breath so i can imagine you could have a decent aerobic workout if you wanted to.
But the Karts are all about fun an sillyness. And the WiFi thing it does is so good you'd swear the peeps must be sitting in the other room playing on your console with you!

I got pretty good at MarioKart, but haven't played it for a couple of months (lack of time due to baby Wyrdness). I'll send you my code and I'll see if I can make time for a few games.

Ah babies, bless. Hope all is well on that fron for you and the lovely mrs W and you find a few mins for some online gaming hehe :D

The first time out on my casterboard (2 wheeled skateboard) after a few hours on wii fit's balance games and I improved immensely. Previously my COG was far too back and this was what was causing the board to shoot out from under me on grinds. As I was now aware of this, I was able to correct it and can now consequently grind more than 3x as far as I could before.

I was put on a Wii fit board at Harrogate to improve my balance! I ended up buying one myself and wii love it! Mario Kart is ace, not online yet, but will get around to it one day.
