Mario Kart Wii is out (in Japan)

On April 11, 2008, in Nintendo Wii, by Jeff Rivera

One of Nintendo’s most beloved and widely popular franchises is back. Mario Kart launched in Japan today for the Wii and will be hitting US shores on the 27th of this month. Initial impressions say that the gameplay is a mix between Mario Kart DS and Mario Kart Double Dash!!, leaning a bit more toward DD!!. The game is also introducing motorcycles into the mix, making it the first Mario Kart game to deviate from the standard of all characters being in karts. The new dynamic should make things interesting, I’m pretty excited overall.

Online play has been reported to be quite fun, especially in Battle Mode. If any readers pick the game up, please leave your friend codes in the comment section and we can duke it out online.
