Mario Kart Wii - Some New Info From NMag

10
Kotaku reports the next issue of German gaming pub NMag features a cover story on the upcoming Wii racer Mario Kart Wii as well as a few tiny tidbits on what we can expect from the waggle-enabled iteration. In addition to appearances from drivers like Mario, Wario, Luigi, Waluigi, Bowser, Peach, and Donkey Kong, the mag confirms that Boo and Baby Peach will also have driving duties. Not surprising, as we'd seen the former in at least one trailer, with the latter only making sense, given that Baby Mario and Baby Luigi will also star.

The mag, by way of GoNintendo, also mentions that at least 32 tracks are planned and that the dreaded "snaking" method of boosting will be included

Details:

-Sliding and snaking confirmed
-Baby Peach, Boo to be drivers
-online battle mode
-16 new + 16 old courses
-different vehicles for every driver
-controls can be compared to Excite Truck

Probably my fav. non main mario games. Loved the original SNES, the N64, and to lesser extent Cube version. Hopefully this will bring it back up, plus with online battle, should make things awesome.

Is excite trucks controls any good? I've play nfs pro street and I'd say the controls are okay as a novelty but I'd switch to analog sticks if i was playing anything higher than easy.

actually i didn't like mariokart64 that much. if any of you tried the DS mario kart you'll know it was the best one ever. even online play was amazing in it, well for a DS game at least.

Yeah... the DS Mario Kart was one of the best. I still prefer Mario Kart 64 though. I loved the level designs.

MarioKart 64 was *so* much better than DoubleDash. The battle mode in DD was just no fun, compared to the battle mode in MarioKart 64 that I'd play for hours on end with my siblings. I love the stack of giant blocks level!
