I know that the wii isnt capable of the best visuals but after seeing galaxy i would expect a whole lot more from the GFX department.

As long as it doesn't use the horrible item system from MKDS this should be a pretty good game.

What was horrible about it? The fact that when you were in 1st place all you got was bananas and item blocks???

Coming with a piece of plastic doesn't really make a game any better.

it might just be a piece of plastic but it is much easier to play with a wheel shaped holder for the wiimote just like it was for exite truck

No the fact that the items you got played more of an important role in what place you got than your own skills of playing the game did.

For instance, YEA IM IN FIRST ABOUT TO CROSS FIN,asdjkfrhsdiofhasdofh blue turtle shell, then I end up in like 7th place.

Haha. All I can say is "Welcome to Mario Kart!" What kind of game do you think this is, man?

Wii Wheel makes it WAY easier to use.

I hope no one snakes though, like in DS.

I have to be honest, the visuals are really dissapointing. For a racer on a next gen system we should be getting a Mario Kart that looks like a Pixar film. Instead Mario Kart Wii, the little we've seen of it granted, looks like something that could easily be done on the Cube.

Mario Kart has never been known for great graphics, more like good graphics. I'm hoping the gameplay is solid and online of course sounds great. Its good to see Nintendo is pushing online now. The best part is once Mario Kart is released, you know F-Zero is on the way. :P

OK, snaking was used on MK:DS Wi-Fi.

Snaking:

When you put your cart into a powerslide, and your tires catch fire, and the fire is yellow, you are in a powerslide. When you pull out of the slide, you get a boost. Not so bad, right? WRONG! Many players would do this the entire race, making them boost through the track and gaining a hollow victory. They will go from the left side of the track, to the right side, then back to the left, in a SNAKING pattern. That's what it is.

Thats what mario kart is! it has nothing to do with skill (unless you count snaking) all it depends on is the items you get and how you use them.

Awesome! Nintendo needs to get serious about online gaming as soon as possible, I hope there will also be some kind of leaderboard because I personally hate online games that don't keep count of your winning record.

Does anyone know how reliable this information is? Perhaps I missed it in the read through, but how the heck did these guys get a build of the game already when other sites like IGN and Gamespot don't. Just curious.

That's great.

They mentionned the word "LOBBY" which logically would refer to the area where gamers can choose the server they want to play in.
No more "I'm forced to play randomly with those people".

Now graphically, the game looks very bad. They should optimize that departement.

A little exaggerated no? BAD? It looks better than the DD and that looked good.

from those screen shots, maybe. I'll reserve judgement after seeing updated gameplay videos. MKDS looked awful early on, but the finished product for the DS looks very good given the limitations.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here, and say that this looks a very early build, and that we should expect to see alot better graphics when released. But, alas, this game is all about splitscreen multiplayer with smooth framerates, if the gfx has to take it hit for that to happen that's ok! :)

I bet it will be good. THey probably learned from the DD mistakes. Nintendo is pretty good at learning from their mistakes.
