The new version of Mario Kart, due in early 2008, features new vehicles and lets players near and far compete using Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, Nintendo’s wireless gaming service. Mario Kart launches with the Wii Wheel (name not final), a steering wheel housing for the Wii Remote that brings new controls and challenges for veteran gamers, while making getting into a race easy and intuitive for newcomers.

On the back of my case says Broadband.
And shows a online feature.
Mario Kart Double Dash has lan support I think.
It did?. I didnt know that. Or are you refering to that online project that what was it called....warp pipe. I think that was indeed something that let you play online, but it was difficult.
But as far as i know there wasn't any official online support right?

The next generation of Mario Kart is blazing a new path on Wii! New tracks, new racers (including Miis), new rides and 12-player racing via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection makes for the ultimate Mario racing experience!
With all the new additions, don’t expect Mario Kart Wii to skimp on the details. All your favourite Mario Kart franchise features return, such as classic tracks, cup modes, battles, boosts and ghost data. Mario Kart Wii isn’t an update – it’s a breakthrough!
Similar to Mario Kart DS, players will be able to take full advantage of Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. You’ll be able to race against up to 11 other players from around the world in massive online races or race against your friends. You can create rooms for friends to join and even text chat while you’re waiting for other racers. The online function of Mario Kart Wii also lets you join a friend’s race in action and be a spectator until the next course launches.
When you’re not going full-throttle toward the finish line, you can see how you stack up against others in the Mario Kart Channel . Here, your best times on tracks are compared to other racers from around the world. You can also see which characters and control methods were used to record this time. See someone with a better time than yours? The Mario Kart Channel also lets you download their ghost data to your Wii and race against the best!
The other massive expansion to come to the Mario Kart franchise is the addition of a new type of vehicle: bikes! Although bikes have fewer wheels than karts, they have a different set of advantages. On a bike, you can pop a wheelie, which can make you go faster but also makes you vulnerable to other racers and environmental effects. Plus, bikes and karts can launch into the air from certain boost ramps, and once in the air, you can perform special tricks to gain a boost when you hit the ground.
All these new bikes and cool karts won’t just tear up new courses. Retro tracks are back! Along with new courses like Mushroom Canyon and Wario Mines, you’ll be racing on old favourites such as Sherbert Land, Waluigi Stadium, Peach Beach and 13 others. How will riding a bike on these new retro tracks stack up to the karts? You’ll just have to play it to find out.
You’ve been racing as the Mushroom Kingdom’s finest for a long time, but now there’s a new racer in town: Your Mii! Put your Mii behind the wheel and take on all comers! For those who want to get in the game even more, Mario Kart Wii comes packed with the Wii Wheel. Shaped like a steering wheel, you place the Wii Remote inside the Wii Wheel’s casing and get ready to ride! In addition to the Wii Remote, you can also use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers in combo, or use a GameCube Controller to take those tight turns and challenges Mario Kart Wii throws at you.
A new experience in racing is here! The world is waiting for you. Whether you get behind the wheel to go online, race solo or take on up to three friends at your home, you’ll find Mario Kart Wii to be a one-of-a-kind experience!
Play against up to 12 players, download and share ghost data and race friends via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Plus, you can take part in events organised by Nintendo in the Mario Kart Channel.
Perform special tricks to score some serious speed boost with the new bikes and supped-up karts. Mario Kart Wii gives you more options than ever.
Race as your Mii! Grab the Wii Wheel and race through the new and retro tracks as your favourite Mii. It’s like you’re in the game like never before!

Let's face it, this game's in very safe hands. I can't see it disappointing anyone. It sounds like Ninty are going all out to ensure this as good as it can be :D
Have you played Double Dash on GC? It's such a better game than MK64. Obviously that's down to personal preference, and I do like MK64, but imo it's not a patch on the Cube version.

Agreed. And a couple of the courses leave a bit to be desired. I find it more appealing to play on TT mode. And besides, it saves on smashed joypads ;)

The wii wheel looks like something that will help you struggle with the game like the wii Zapper hopefully it wont be.
Hopefull the 2 button will be drive rather than the B button. I liked the way NFS Carbon you to play.
It's the GC controller all the way for me.
Also KK, it's coming 11-4-08 aka about 3 weeks.

Anyone know the characters on the game?
The controller I probably use will be the Cube pad; but I'll try all the controls methods.

I have left it to the last minute to preorder this and everyone has ceased taking orders :mad:, teach me for not doing this sooner. I've found one company still taking orders but have a feeling I'll be waiting a few weeks to get this now :(
Junior
08-04-2008, 10:49 AM
Yeah I was worried to after amazon any many placees were sold out.
But if you buy pes 2008 in Game. They allow you to reserve aa copy for you. If you dont pick it up in 3 days then it goes back on the sheleves.
They do it with Wii fit aswell.

Its pure mario kart class, feels and plays just as good as you'd expect. I've had a go online with my girlfriend and it works a treat, no lag. As you'd expect from Ninty, top class presentation and staying in first place is not an easy task. Only won one race so far but now the Wii's off, back to COD4 for the night :p
Junior
11-04-2008, 01:57 PM
Man i just bought this its so freaking good.

The graphics are amazing i think i wasnt ready for it to be darker. I still were expecting it to the same as double dash..ninty proves me wrong.
Ahh It's great wit all ur brothers re-united playing mario kart on new and retro tracks. All arguing,Using our own secret tricks,one on classic,gamecube, and me on wii wheel. All having fun.... Good old days are baak.

Until then it's fingers crossed.

I pre-ordered two days before launch from send-it.com and got it on the thursday, highly recommend them for service and it was £35 delivered.
Me and the misses play this online together, she really enjoys it which is a good sign because she doesn't like driving games normally. So look out for us both online trying to beat you all lol
