When it comes to championing the world's most popular motorsports, territoriality rules the road. Americans think it's NASCAR, Europeans think it's Formula One, and the loyal denizens of Nintendo land line up behind Mario Kart.
That preview code looked very polished. Multiplayer action is where the Wii takes Mario Kart into some new territory. Four-player races are standard, of course. But 12-player races will be available via the Nintendo Wi-Fi connection. Wi-Fi will support up to two drivers per Wii, so you can do the math to figure out all the possible combinations. Nintendo's establishing a Mario Kart Channel where you can connect with friends, upload your best course time as a "ghost" racer, try to knock off other ghost racers, or participate in a tournament.
For a lot of people, Mario Kart Wii was their introduction to the franchise, and what a terrific introduction they had.
Major 2023 game anniversaries include The World Ends With You, Mario Kart Wii, and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, among many others
Nintendo has provided a sales update on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and it's confirmed that the game has now outsold Mario Kart Wii.
Always remember Polygon's take on MK 8 and how it would end up being worse selling entry in franchise history. Oof. MK 8 deluxe is going to have one hell of a holiday. You know that Switch bundle is coming back.
Baffles me that they haven't made any new dlc for this, and yet they focus on the mobile game smh
I can only imagine that the Mario Kart devs have been hard at work on the follow-up to 8, hence why it got no dlc.
We can only assume that they'll show something next year if they are working on the next game. With the way Ninty has been announcing games close to their release they don't leave room for any leaked info
Its not like its the same developer. The one working on the mobile game isnt even a Nintendo developer
