With any Wii game, let alone one that comes with a big plastic controller, CVG are a bit worried of 'dumbing down' for the console's core casual audience. Upon booting up Mario Kart Wii this afternoon their fears are strengthened by a very 'life-style' intro movie and an abundance of Miis across the opening menus.
But thankfully their fears are dashed once they get into the game, which plays just as solidly as any series entry before it. But like any die-hard Kart fans CVG have got their complaints, even if they are underpinned by their genuine excitement for a brand new Mario Kart outing.
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
