Mario Kart Wii boxed, logo'd

Joystiq reports: "If the official Mario Kart Wii box art tells us anything, it's that we won't be waltzing out of the local game store with a standard-issue game case tucked neatly into our back pocket. No, we'll be lugging around an actual box -- and for what? The Wii Wheel. We can't imagine Nintendo's gonna charge extra for this 2-cent hunk of plastic, but it's the inconvenience that irks us: another box to break down, another prop cluttering the coffee table. What say we round these wheels up and send 'em on a one-way rocket to the sun!"

Hmm... Seems to be a tad dull box art. Shame. Earlier ones were rather amusing, but then again this one's more to the "cool" image Wii currently has... Simplified.

Yeah, I guess they're keeping the same style as the DS box art

I reported this exactly two weeks ago!

Is it just me or would trying to steer with no force feedback, or "end point" (maximum turning endpoint) be exremely hard? I don't have a wii but when i played motorstorm using motion, it was hard as hell. You get no feel for the steering. Wii may be different but give me the N64 controller and kart and i am happy. Motion playing isnt good for every game out there.

Im sure ive read that you can use the gamecube controller instead of the wiimote. Im still waiting for nintendo to release Super Mario Kart on virtual console.

So is there going to be a change in gameplay? Or is it going to be the original Mario Kart for SNES with motion controls (lame)?

Oh wait, this IS Nintendo...

Hurry up nintendo and Announce Star Fox for the Wii, Im a sucker for Star Fox.

[UltramanJ]

Talk about awful box art. Nintendo really mailed that one in.

[bigjclassic]

I cant wait.

"Man... Now I have to crush this little box before I throw it away... Thanks Nintendo, my whole day is ruined!"

The real problem is probably something more like:

"It's not the cool, hardcore thing to do playing Wii games... But there's no way I can hide this game in my pocket, and everyone is going to see me with it! Arrgh! But it's going to be so much fun! Oh no! What ever shall I do?!?"

Just blame it on your little brother or your Grandma. That's what all the rest of the closet Wii players are doing anyway. :p

This isn't the discs box.. It will just hold the game and the wiimote shell. There will probably be a different box art on the actual case.

So is this guy complaining about getting the Wii Wheel for FREE? because to me this dose not only add significant gameplay value to the game and save money for the gamer but you don't have to use it if you don't want. And what kind of lazy fuk can't dispose of a box, and have to complain about it? And does he really think that the case for the actual game is going to have a big a$$ picture of the Wii Wheel on it? This is not news worthy and is furthering my disposition for this "gaming news" site.
