NOT ANOTHER MARIO KART! The one for GC was great, but we don't need another Mario Kart. What is up with Nintendo? They have to make every Mario game for every Nintendo system... It's beyond annoying.

Why thank you. XD I saw the poster at Toys R' Us (Why doesn't my keyboard have a reverse R? XD ) and something in my head clicked, and I blurted out WiiL. Spontaneous, I guess.

I'm boycotting this game. I'll have no support in Nintendo's Mario plague in order to get money. I don't even own a Wii, and why should I? It just has a bunch of Mario remakes, like this.

Stick to your opinion if ya want. I say this game basically does look like Mario Kart on the Wii pretty much but with Miis and online. And me like online. :D

What are you talking about?

There's no remakes at all minus the Virtual Console.

So according to you it's bad to bring the highly successful Mario Kart to the next generation of gaming?

Yeah screw you Nintendo! Making new and perhaps better installments of arguably one of the greatest racing series's of all time!

Don't quit your day job buddy.

Anyway, I've never used a wheel to play any racing games, and imo it seems kind of awkward to use it on Mario Kart. But I'm sure I'll manage with it after a wee bit of practice.

EDIT: Hm, a little movie on the official website shows you can use the nun chuck, classic Wiimote, and Gamecube controller too. Yay. Oh and you might want to add Yoshi and your Miis to the list of confirmed characters. The movie shows them as well.

I believe this game will have multiple control options.

Nintendo's best at just taking money these days. No new ideas at all. Galaxy was a boring remake of Mario 64. This will be the same to Mario Kart Double Dash. I mean c'mon; Mario Party 8?!? Every sport for each console? Nintendo's pushing it and I'm not paying for multiple sports or Mario games. Go ahead and spend your money, but I will resort to my Gamecube to have the same stisfactory and not end up with an empty wallet. At least pokemon changes pokemon whic is why I have that game, Mario doesn't change anything much at all. Same old, same old. That's why Sonic is better.
