Ripten writes: "Go ahead, make fun of the wheel. Nintendo doesn't care. In fact, it took only about ten minutes of playing Mario Kart Wii in an apartment common room for the first wide-eyed passerby to stop and ask if they could try. The wheel, like the balance board and the Wii's other knick-knacks, are practically free advertising.
But while non-gamers will likely see the wheel as a fun and accessible way to play Mario Kart, more experienced players will probably shun it almost immediately. After trying out all of the possible control combinations with the new motorcycles and older karts, I found myself moving back to the tried and true Gamecube controller relatively quickly. The wheel felt good in my hands, but it simply didn't feel like it offered the precision that I was looking for when it came to navigating the game's trademark pitfalls."
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
