Nintendo takes action against Mario Kart Wii cheaters

***wraggster*** · April 13th, 2008, 21:08

Tons of people were complaining that people were cheating in Mario Kart Wii’s Time Trial records. I didn’t know how quickly Nintendo would act, and I am quite surprised to find out that they have already taken steps to solve the problem. According to multiple readers, cheaters have had records deleted, and the cheating methods have been blocked. Nintendo wins this round, let’s see what happens from here on out!

I was interested to find out what would happen myself, when I saw these impossible scores. One thing cheaters should watch out for, is that Nintendo might not rule out a possible ban-system. As your Wii is unique, Nintendo have a very easy way of preventing you playing online on any WFC game

But I think this is fairer. Exploits are common in games, and a lot of people investigate this way, it's good to know it's been fixed, because Mario Kart records are something I've always kept up with

I'm glad. Even though using cheats on wifi was fun on the DS, I was hoping they would block them out on the Wii.

Nice, I hope these cheaters will not find any other way of ruining the game..

As long as the cheats stay at this removable level its ok, but eventually somebody is going to find some sort of alternative to snaking... Nintendo really needs to get smart and learn how to do a real online service, starting with banning.

How does everyone feel about Homebrew? for the wii, personally I hate it, I can't play online with Mario Kart anymore cos of people cheating. It just doesn't seem fair its ruining the game for people I have seen loads of complaints for this issue what do you think?
