Out of curiosity - does Wii/MK let you know your friends are online?

Oh well, I will find out more tomorrow once I settle some router setting issues that I think is holding up the show around these parts.

From the main menu, the Wii does not show you which of your friends are online. I think it just periodically connects to the nintendo wifi network and checks if you have messages and whatnot.

MK DOES tell you when your friends are online and what they are doing (as it has done a "hard" connect to the Nintendo WFC).

Hehe, just registered Cherny's code. If anyone else wants to play with J and me, just send me a PM or post your codes here.

YAY!

I know my sister is getting me Amazon credit for my birthday. It was ostensibly for music, but I'm thinking a portion of it will be going towards Mario Kart...

^^ that's why I be waiting.

GD, they have the stand alone Wii Wheel for $9.99 and free super saver shipping (if you order both together it would qualify).

Once y'all post your codes, we can have a happy little Mario Kart Par-tay, on a weeknite no less!

Hey, do you guys think Skype would work as a conversation medium for us when we're all together? The system doesn't seem conducive to simple chat. Or, for some of you, are your Wiis nowhere near your computers?

My Wii is in a different room than my compy. Is there a way to call a telephone number and connect to a skype room (I think there is)? Cuz I could chat with my bluetooth headset if that's possible, by calling the "LoT party line" on my cell phone.

My wii is in the room with my computer. But I have no MK.

I fail :(
