Mario Kart for Wii: New Details

mkart01

Although we have to wait until Spring for the new Mario Kart to come out, Nintendo Power is giving us some new info about it today!

A number has finally been announced for how many players can be in one Nintendo Wi-fi connection game. The answer….12!

You’ll be able to perform some cool stunts with your motorcycle or kart. (Scott P. of Nintendo Power hints at a special reward you get when you do this but he could not tell us!)

Expect 16 brand new courses and lots of familar race locations based on tracks throughout the series!

New features, best visual detail in a Mario Kart game ever!

Big new items to use along with the classics!

A colorful variety of kart styles

The Wii wheel (bundled with the game) handles smoothly, buttons on wii remote control acceleration, braking, and item use.

    I already knew it’d be 12 players online.

    what about the double-dash two-person carts?? that was great!

  • Leo X

    Apparently, xero, people prefer single karts…

    I love double dash so I’m not in that camp though

    Medal of honour brings 32 players online in 1 game. But 12 is good enough. I think it is a good strategy of Nintendo to wait a bit before releasing the game. All famous nintendo games are released in a short time (Metriod Prime, SM Galaxy, Paper Mario, Brain accademy, Brawl, …) I think i will buy this kart-game.

    Yeah, I think 12 is about the highest they should put on one MK track. It’s not like MOH with an open field or whatever. They are usually fairly small tracks.

    I wouldn’t mind having the double-dash karts back as an option either!

    Actually 2-person karts sucked and I’m glad we’re going back to the classic ways. But I’m still sceptical of whether the new controls are a great idea.
