Official Mario Kart Wii Discussion Thread
Introduction "It's not the most surprising announcement at E3, but it certainly is one of the most anticipated by Nintendo fans. Nintendo announced Mario Kart Wii. Nintendo's seminal arcade racer is finally bringing its shell-slinging, kart-driving action to the Wii." One of the big things that stuck out to me is that Nintendo has confirmed at its E3 conference that the Wii version of Mario Kart will feature online racing as well as online battle mode.Thats a change from all Mario Kart games. Hopefully this impresses everyone... Anyway, I'll will be updating this thread periodically with updates on the game. So far I have screenshots, videos and little information about Mario kart Wii, although not much as been released from Nintendo. So be sure to check daily for updates. What is Mario Kart? Mario Kart is a series of Nintendo racing games that feature characters from the Mario video game franchise. Mario Kart differs from many other racing games in that it does not seek to accurately simulate real world karts, driving conditions, or physics, making Mario Kart particularly easy to learn. Controls The controls are not confirmed yet by Nintendo but we do have an idea and some possibilities of what they are. Of course we have the Wii mote. The wii mote will most likely be the steering. The other controls such as the gas button and break have not been released nor confirmed. Reggie has also announced that Mario Kart Wii will have something packaged in with it. The Wii Wheel. The Wii mote will be placed in the Wii Wheel and locked in place. So once you turn on the game, you feel like a real racer with the steering wheel. Here are a few screenshots of the Wii Wheel: ![]() Characters and Tracks So far not many racers nor tracks have been confirmed for Mario Kart Wii. Here are all the ones that we know of: Characters: Mario Luigi Peach Yoshi Toad Bowser Wario Walugi Koopa Baby Mario Boo Tracks: Mario Circuit Wario Railway Mushroom Jungle Moo Moo Farm Peach Beach Yoshi Falls Video of it: YouTube - Mario Kart Wii - Video, Images and Analysis ![]() Release Dates: United States Release: Spring/ Early 2008 United Kingdom: 2007 Full E3 Mario Kart Wii Video: Gametrailers.com - Mario Kart Wii - E3 2007 Nintendo Press Conference Presentation Mario Kart Wii 12 Karts not 8: YouTube - Mario Kart Wii 12 Players |
