“When the Wii was first announced, Nintendo’s focus towards an expanded audience came with promises of new and exciting gameplay through the use of innovative and intuitive controls. In that case, Wii Fit is the quintessential Wii title, as promised.”
In this edition of 2P START! Live! we discuss our new weight management system, Wii Fit! Ray needs to gain a bit of muscle and I could stand to lose a bit of fat. Most importantly, my wife Sarah joins us to discuss her experience with Wii Fit as well as her reaction to her first appearance in our comic. Enjoy!

Ray sent me this pretty awesome replacement cover for Super Smash Bros. Brawl to share with you all. Ray’s Mario Kart Wii replacement covers were a necessity since the official box art isn’t very good. Brawl’s box art is fine as is, but I must admit, I dig the sideways box art and the way Ray fit in every character! Keep in mind that he physically placed each and every one of the characters himself using ripped character art from the game, no small feat. The spine art is optional of course, so if you don’t like it you can just cut it off and use the front. One more shot of the box art plus the download after the break!
[Update]: Ray made a version without the ESRB logo for non-U.S. gamers.
Listen as we discuss Nintendo’s new Wii Ware and its missed opportunities, the warm reception for our Lego Indiana Jones comic, and the game that finally got Tim’s wife asking to play video games! All this plus our regular segments jam-packed into a half hour podcast!

Someone wanted to see the current 2P START! friends standings on the Mario Kart Wii tournament going on right now, so here they are!
[Final]: Here are the final standings with Ray beating me out by an inch! Good job everyone, see you at the next tournament!
“Mario and his friends are back for their eighth kart-racing competition since 1992, and the core gameplay still remains intact after all of this time. Although Gamecube’s Double Dash!! aimed high with two characters per kart and character-specific power-ups, the Wii installment scales everything back by operating as the follow-up to the portable DS title.”
It’s been awhile since I’ve done one of these, but see if you can guess what game this image is from! Also, Ray is back in town and is starting work on tomorrow’s comic, let him know how much you missed him! If you’re new to this little game, rules are posted after the break. Good luck!
[Update]: We have a winner! Show ▼
