Nintendo UK has updated its website with a walkthrough of Mario Kart Wii's online multiplayer options.
One or two players can connect to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection from a single console, and then select from Worldwide, Continental or Friend pools of players.
"Then you will be placed in a new group of people looking for a match, or you will join an existing group," says the website.
"When the latter happens you will become a spectator of that group's race currently in progress, as you wait for your turn to hit the track."
For a lot of people, Mario Kart Wii was their introduction to the franchise, and what a terrific introduction they had.
Major 2023 game anniversaries include The World Ends With You, Mario Kart Wii, and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, among many others
Nintendo has provided a sales update on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and it's confirmed that the game has now outsold Mario Kart Wii.
Always remember Polygon's take on MK 8 and how it would end up being worse selling entry in franchise history. Oof. MK 8 deluxe is going to have one hell of a holiday. You know that Switch bundle is coming back.
Baffles me that they haven't made any new dlc for this, and yet they focus on the mobile game smh
I can only imagine that the Mario Kart devs have been hard at work on the follow-up to 8, hence why it got no dlc.
We can only assume that they'll show something next year if they are working on the next game. With the way Ninty has been announcing games close to their release they don't leave room for any leaked info
Its not like its the same developer. The one working on the mobile game isnt even a Nintendo developer
I still don't get why they make communication so restricted. I know why they're doing it, but it still seems so backwards.
Congratulations Nintendo! You have officially reached 10 year old multiplayer!
Edit: Nevermind, communication was more simple 10 years ago. My bad.
Edit #2: Seriously... without having a cell phone and calling your friend with a headset on while you're playing... this will be about as fun as playing against Bots in UT. Fun, but not enough to hook anyone.
Sounds good so far. 2 people can go online on one machine and while waiting for your game to start once you join a game in session you get to watch how the race is doing while you wait.
who plays the wii online?
