Further proof that Wii will totally own this console generation. My request: include every track from every game, or atleast faves like how MK:DS has it. This is one of those games they announce and you think, "No way in Hell am I not buying this."

Wii-Wheel looks alittle small... I'll be playing with a Gamecube Wavebird, thank you.

94 SVT Cobra 07-23-2007 01:47 PM

HOLY FUCKING CHRIST, THE ORGINAL MARIO KART IS 15 YEARS OLD?

Well i feel old as fuck over that.

But yea, Wii is coming out with some pretty ill creations lately, seems like all the accessories from Wii are actually worthwhile and pretty cool. The Wii Wheel sounds funny on a side note.

Good stuff

road doggy dogg 07-23-2007 02:51 PM

Yeah I'll probably end up just using a Wavebird as well, so pumped about this game though. Wonder if they'll have downloadable older tracks available on the Wii Shop or w/e.

Mr Regal 07-23-2007 03:07 PM

lol, this is NOT your fathers mario kart.

Fucking dickhead.

This game will slay the world.

Loose Cannon 07-23-2007 03:13 PM

yea, that line made me feel so old.

Well my kid would be 4 by the time this is out, now I feel VERY old

Dorkchop 07-23-2007 04:20 PM

I just hope there are more tracks, and they add to the game. Not too much, but enough for it to feel like there's more to it. As much as I love Mario Kart, I want more tracks. I can't wait for this game.

mrslackalack 07-23-2007 10:30 PM

This game will rock

Tornado 07-24-2007 12:26 PM

I think I need to work in getting my Wii back online.

PapaGeorgio 07-24-2007 03:15 PM

Wouldn't mind it like MK:DS. Having some tracks from each game on this one, plus shit load more for this one. Hopefully it is interesting and keeps me going cause after awhile Double Dash just got way to easy for me, which annoyed me cause my friends always wanted to play.

Drakul 10-11-2007 08:36 AM

Well I have some screens and some info on the game, so here you go.Characters will have customised cars like we saw in the trailer but it looks like they may have more than one. In the trailer, Wario has a hot rod style car but in these screens he has a car with bull horns on it.

It's not going to be just kart racing now. They just confirmed motorbikes.

Peaches bike looks different in each of the above screens so I dont know if each character will have more than one bike as well as multipile cars or maybe just one or the other.

Retro tracks will be in the game, apparantly:

http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/1...7mkart5sq9.jpg

Anyway, I think the game looks pretty good. According to some American magazine called "Gamepro", Reggie Fils-Aime is supposed to have hinted at the possibility of MK: Double Dash style gameplay as well. I don't know how reliable Gamepro is.

Kalyx triaD 10-11-2007 08:45 AM

Gamepro is immature garbage. I stopped reading it about a decade ago and never looked back. EGM since the '98 10-page cover story on FF8 and I've grabbed one every month since.

Drakul 10-11-2007 08:49 AM

Ok, well, I'll take your word for it. I doubted it when I read it but felt I should mention it just in case. I'm from the UK so we don't get that magazine.

Footage of the biking. Turns out everyones going to have a bike. Also it looks like we can pull off a few tricks both in our karts and on our bikes.

Tornado 10-11-2007 11:49 AM

Sweeeeeeeeeeet

Shadow 10-11-2007 11:47 PM

Between this and Smash Bros, my wallet's gonna be empty

Drakul 10-11-2007 11:59 PM

What about Super Mario Galaxy?

Tornado 10-12-2007 06:06 AM

Looks like 12 racers on track this time too.

Well, you might want to avoid watching the first two minutes to Mario Galaxy then. It's pretty cool. I don't think we have a SMG thread anyway.

Dunno if it counts as spoilers but I'll give you guys a warning anyway *SPOILERS maybe*

This week's Famitsu magazine has the latest tidbits on Mario Kart Wii. The game will include the wheel controller which was first revealed in last year's E3 press conference.

Players can now choose between karts and bikes to race, and each will have its advantages and disadvantages. With bikes, you can perform wheelies to speed up but this also makes turning more difficult. Both karts and bikes also now allow you to perform tricks in midair by turning the wheel left and right, or by moving the wheel up and down. Pulling them off successfully will reward players with a speed boost upon landing.

The game will feature 16 new tracks and 16 remake tracks from previous Mario Kart titles. As for multiplayer battle stages, 10 stages will be included. Players can compete against each other in races and battles with up to 4 players in split screen mode and up to 12 players via Nintendo's Wifi Connection service. You can also use your Mii as a playable character when meeting certain conditions during the game.

Lastly, there will also be a Mario Kart Channel dedicated to the game, allowing players all over the world to compete in global rankings and download ghosts of other players.

Mario Kart Wii hits stores in Japan on April 10. A North America release date has yet to be pinned down but should follow close behind.
F'n sweet. I need a Wii ASAP. Missing too many greats.

G 02-07-2008 09:54 PM

can't wait

.44 Magdalene 02-08-2008 08:59 AM

Online Mario Kart ftw

ClockShot 02-08-2008 01:33 PM

Guy at Gamestop told me they had a tentative release day of April 12th or someday really close to that. Threw down my $5 and walked out the door happy.

Kalyx triaD 02-08-2008 01:47 PM

Famitsu magazine, who has close ties to Nintendo, said nothing about that date. You just helped an employee get closer to his target reserves number for the week.

IGN Hands On report. Awesome stuff.

Sepholio 02-20-2008 03:52 PM

Fuck now I need a Wii.

Just had a funny thought on this. Imagine someone plays this in their car with the Wii Wheel. You pull up next to them and see like 2 or 3 people in a car twisting wireless wheels. Would be pretty freaking awesome on road trips.

Crazy Nick 02-21-2008 12:46 AM

I need a Wii as well, this game looks great.

I'm sure it looks 1000x better in video form, but these pictures make the game look like crap.

Drakul 02-26-2008 07:39 AM

A lot of people are saying that. I'm sure it'll be much better in motion.

G 02-26-2008 09:25 AM

and in english

Dorkchop 02-27-2008 12:03 AM

I've heard from a few previews that the game doesn't look nearly as nice as it should. Let's just hope gameplay wise it makes up for it. I love that it'll keep stats. I love random stats in games. I hope they have ridiculous ones like "green turtle shells fired" and "green turtle shells that hit opponents".

Drakul 03-02-2008 05:45 AM

Battle Mode screenshot (containing a character spoiler,if you look carefully) and some news.

As you can see it is a timed event and whoever is left with the highest score at the end of the battle will win.

In other Mario Kart news, it has been revealed that the MK wheel will be available to purchase seperately in the shops. Only the Japanese price has been confirmed so far though and its 1,200 yen. That's around £6 but we don't know how much it will actually cost in UK stores.

See, while there will be text chat, you can only send pre-determined phrases to fellow racers.

Still, it's not a big deal. Text chat could just result in peurile insults being flung about. Not something we're keen on while trying to focus for the big race. What do you think?


Vietnamese Crippler 03-02-2008 04:24 PM

The levels are SO huge yet the characters are SO small. It's such a weird perspective; it's like everyone's been hit by the lightning bolt :-\

G 03-02-2008 05:02 PM

Honestly, who gives a fuck that Baby Mario is in this. No one is that excited about this game.

G 03-02-2008 05:03 PM

And wtf would you buy the steering wheel. The only fun I've had with the motion controls are Wii Sports and Zelda/SMG.

Vietnamese Crippler 03-02-2008 05:57 PM

You don't have to buy the wheel, it's packed in.
