Hmm… I hope Kazooie NNuts and bolts end up as a wii title too…
I highly doubt it. Rare and nintendo arent quite friendly with eachother now.
If it makes you feel better, they say the game is a departure from what you’re used to, and it revolves around vehicles.
Wii Fit gets criticized for not having multiplayer… it just boggles the mind.
Our exercise bike and weight bench don’t have multiplayer either.
That’s true. It’s not like its Mario Kart… where the wheel is 15-20 bucks. Do they even sell the balance boards separately?
they are right, the online play does suck, but its nintendo, who cares? tho it would have been better for brawl…but w/e the games are fun…
