Wii - Mario Kart Wii - Possible Box Art for Mario Kart Wii "Take a gander at the image above as what looks to be the final box art for Mario Kart Wii. As we can all plainly see, the box looks to be rather large to help accommodate the "Wii wheel" pack in that comes with the title. I must insist that this is purely a rumor for the final box art but I have to say that I don't mind it at all.

What do you guys think?"

See the box art after the jump!

Wii - Mario Kart Wii - Mario Kart Wii - Some New Info From NMag 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

9th Dec, 2008 Just what in the hell is going on with Mario and Peach? It was so simple back in the old NES days of Super Mario Bros. She got herself kidnapped, he went after her with the help of Luigi, and all ended happily ever after. Or so we thought. The thing is that it didn't really. It's become ever more apparent that since that first rescue things have only ever got messier, dirtier and more manipulative in their relationship. Far from the innocent damsel and hero set-up that appeared ... » Read More

Oct. 12, 2007 Call us Mario Kart purists, but we started becoming unhappy with the direction of Nintendo's racing series as soon as the karts stopped being karts and started being miniature racing cars. The last home console instalment, Double Dash, was arguably the worst in the series and we mostly put that down to the fact that it didn't feel like the Mario Kart we know and love. The colorful GameCube version lost all sensation of carving a perfect corner and clipping centimetres off your ... » Read More

Soon after, Mario pulls out bags of style as he pops a wheelie on the game's new motorbikes. Brill. ... » Read More
