Mario Kart Wii

Date played: January 16th
Platform: Wii
Session fun rating: 6/10

I was visiting some friends last night and their 3 year old has taken a liking to Mario Kart Wii, so his dad and I played a few races with him. He's obviously a little too young to play, but he still manages to move his cart slowly through the track. For me, it was pretty tough to get back into the game after playing a lot of Mario Kart 7 and 8. Mario Kart Wii has a few really weird things about it, like weird items that don't make much sense (lightning cloud???) and odd motion controls. We still had fun with our three little races, and it's really cool to see a young child be interested in video games like that!
