"Luck is a bitch when slapping skill in the face." The review points out the game pays far more attention to party elements than skilful driving and as such will frustrate players to the point of "blood boiling".
AusGamers go on to praise the ease of getting online and talk about the great connection, but bring it all back down to poor design and the wrong sort of focus.
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.
7.8 is hardly a slamming lol. change the title please
Interesting. The first Nintendo created game on the Wii to recieve a rating below a 9. Could reviewers actually be doing their jobs and you know..reviewing? Only time will tell.
On a personal note..I'm sick of Mario. There. I said it.
the actual review gets pretty narky at Nintendo, the 7.8 is also lower than most other reviews of this game
Since when is 7.8 a bad score?
People love making mountains out of molehills.
I have had Mario Kart Wii for two weeks now and I am already bored. Half the game is OLD LEVELS! Aren't those supposed to be extra unlockables? This was fun with 4 people for about two days. Its the same old game, only more frustrating. The graphics are not very good and the levels are unimaginative. I know if you have a Wii your going to get it because, well, its Mario Kart. Just don't say I didn't tell you so.
