IGN: Mario Kart Wii Online Impressions

If you've been following the deluge of coverage concerning Nintendo's first Wii Mario Kart outing, you'd be forgiven for thinking you'd heard it all by now. Beneath the run of carefully-worded previews and side-shuffling reviews though, one simple fact remains – no publication's been able to take the game online until now. Point the finger squarely at the lack of final retail code – all impressions previously garnered from online-disabled Wii debugs scattered across the globe. With mere days to go until Mario Kart Wii's UK debut though, IGN finally had chance to take the game online, albeit briefly and inexhaustibly at present.

I like the fact that tracks can be altered or have obstacles added to them. Most of all, I can't wait for battle mode.

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.

Sgt_Slaughter933d ago

Polygon having a bad take? Sounds 100% accurate to me.

Baffles me that they haven't made any new dlc for this, and yet they focus on the mobile game smh

meganick933d ago

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.

Inverno933d ago

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

--Onilink--933d ago

Its not like its the same developer. The one working on the mobile game isnt even a Nintendo developer
