Nintendo has a formula for its Mario Kart series, and GamingClarity guesses you can't really blame them for sticking to it in this latest offering. It's a formula that's both fun and challenging for players of all skill levels. In fact, Nintendo has publicly stated that Mario Kart Wii is a "bridge" title that they hope will appeal to both the core and casual game crowds.
The Good: Tons of new tracks, characters and vehicles. Classic gameplay remains with some welcome additions. Robust and fun online play modes.
The Bad: Much-hyped motion steering is not nearly precise enough for serious racing. Blue shells and some other items are too powerful and throw off the balance of the game.
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
