I'm a fan of the Mario Kart series so I'll probably get this game. I might even get the VC version of Mario Kart in the mean time..

Anyway, this game is supposed to bring the wheel accessory so this should help make it a bit more authentic, although personally I haven't really tried the wheel yet nor any of those other "add-on" accessories for the Wiimote as they seem like a waste of money to me.

The game is also going to feature online play, which is what I'm looking forward to the most. And of course, offline multiplayer will be fun for when you have some friends over.

From what I've seen it looks like it won't disappoint Mario Kart fans.

Here's a video:

so its mario kart ds but with better graphics and more people in online
same maps and and online battle

if the control system is the same
i will have unnatural snaking advantages

Personally, I don't care for it... But still, it looks like a wellrounded game.

Defiantly getting this, I was never able to get Double Dash or the DS version, but have played both (I fail hard at them XD) so I'll actually get this one as soon as I can

Random fact

Apparently my sister had a copy of Double Dash floating around.

I have been playing it for a fair bit of time XD

I completely suck at Mario kart, as i do All Racing games, But Squee is a FREAK at it.

I've never seen anything like it.

I have an instant disliking of the anouncer. Mario Kart Double Dash was the best mario kart game ever. Snakers need to die q.q they are ruining the entire game.. My dad plays MKDD when hes drunk as a bonding tool, lol. Hes pretty good too.

Sounds like a load of fun there Soups.

You probably don't suck Lttp, it just depends on how quickly you react to the actions in the game. I remember when my sister was here at home, she always wanted me to be on the back of the cart because I have an uncanny knack at nailing opponents with shells and bombs etc. She was a bit better of a racer. I don't know about now.

Here's some more info on the game:

It's going to have 16 new tracks as well as 16 classic tracks. You'll also be able to choose between a kart/motorbike. And if you're not a fan of the character selection you'll be able to play as your Mii.

Also, 13 more days until the U.S release.

Sounds great. I think I may get this in the mid summer.
