Mario Kart Wii peels out April 27

GTA is pretty good but to say screw dis game IS SO NOT GROOVY!

screw this game GTA 4 life

@ Royal_Fire: Wii Want More was an April fools hoax...

Is it just me or is the shading in the latest photos a bit better? I can't wait until i get my Wii now. I'm waiting till after exams.

mario kart wii is going to be a BIG HIT!! i wonder what else do they have in mind after this?? well i heard about a thing called Wii Want More feature coming to the wii with special add-ons to game like the ps3. for more info go to my pro and you'll see.....

I'll be playing this and GTAIV side by side. Let the awkwardness begin.

I'll get this, but GTA IV is where all my time will be spent.

Mario Kart games have always been great I just hope that they don't ruin the game making it easy for "casual" gamers. I don't want to make any funny move to throw items or to speed the car, I mean it's fun in wii sports or so but in games like these... remember what happen with Excite Truck? if casual gamers are not smart enough to coordinate two fingers why would we have to pay the consequences. Anyway I'll buy the game ja

This game is going to be delayed for sure. April 27 is too good to be true! What they are going to do is delay it till July or August., maybe October! Smash brothers just came out, they have to milk that game for a couple more months then release another game. Nintendo knows this is TRUE because after Mario Kart they don't have another hit title!

Well, I didn't know that Mario Kart: Wii has it's own freakin channel when it comes out, that makes me want the game even moar!!!

GTA IV won't be one bit as good as mario kart wii

i agree i dont think they will effect eachothers sales

this is like trying to compare apples and oranges. really, if you have a wii you will get mk, and if you have an xbox/ps3 you will get GTAIV. Both are must haves, but they are competing in different demographics.

I'm getting GTA IV on PC anyways, even though it won't be until fall. I don't currently have any consoles, but me and my g/f plan on going 50/50 on a Wii and I really like the previous Mario Karts. This will be a first day purchase for me, if we can find a Wii by then...

SMASH BROS +MARIO KART =Nintendo crusing the ps3/xbox alliance. I got all the console and a KILLER PC so i can play any agme on anything but i still prefer nintendo over some wash up Old game of running and shotting.

meh GTA>Mario Kart, I will just have to wait some months later and find it in a bargain bin :)

To taz412: I never said all 29+ year olds are only playing those games. Though I have to congratulate you on playing No More Heroes. It's a great game and I was really disappointed when I found out that it isn't selling as great as I'd hoped. There definitely will be no More Heroes 2, if you know what I mean. Anybody reading this who hasn't played it and doesn't mind a mature game should definitely try it.

gta is for stupid kids who wanna be gangsters. mario kart is where its at

Really who cares about a lame game like GTAIV that forsure is no big scene.

In the words of Peter Griffin"Freakin' Sweet".

Vash67... "That may be the case, Marth6781, but are most of those 29+ year olds playing anything besides Wii Sports and Brain Age?" Some of us are. I'm 44... and on my Wii, I'm currently playing SSBB (just finished No More Heroes on bitter mode). On my DS, I'm playing Advance Wars: Days Of Ruin.

hurrah!

OH FO SHO ! ! ! ! ! ! GT who?! It's all about MARIO KART!

That means that since I´m in Europe, i will get time enough to play mario kart Wii before they release GTAIV.

this two games face to different customers and different consoles,so i think its a win-win war

Already have my reserve for Mario Kart in my wallet; I'm almost as excited for this as I was for Smash Bros. I'm not huge on online and prefer a room full of friends, but I'll definitely try it out. Mario Kart can certainly take on GTA, especially with a 2-day head start. I'll end up getting both I'm sure, but Mario Kart just is too much fun to wait for. No Wii owner will pass this up, but I know several people that have got tired of GTA after San Andreas.

....No such thing as running a race without wanting to do the other drivers harm......even from 1st place.....

.....I'll get both :)

Sweet. I love me some Kart. But honestly this game can't compete with GTAIV. There is NO way any gamer is going to buy this instead of GTA if they've already decided to buy GTA. I , for one, have no plans to buy GTA. I've never been a huge fan of the series. I'm not one for pointless violence.

Vash, try not to be the representative for us older gamers. You're way off.

That may be the case, Marth6781, but are most of those 29+ year olds playing anything besides Wii Sports and Brain Age?

Bit late i found this out ages ago!

Whoever says Wii has no games clearly needs to get their head examined.

Wow, a month after Smash Brawl was released...but I don't know, Nintendo might delay it...

Umm, vash the average wii owners age is 29, ps3/360 are MUCH lower.

remember brawl aint been released in europe yet

Great i cant wait for mario kart wii, its too bad that nintendo didnt get a licence for the gta series then we could have both :( but o well mario kart is going to be great anyways .

this is the first nintendo game ever that ive actually been excited about the online features. this game is going to be awesome

This is the game I brought my Wii for!!!! I cannot wait... The big question for me is whether using the Wii wheel will be as competitive as using the pad??? Only time and practice will tell. How cool would it be if they introduced a guest character like the soul caliber series. Sonic anyone????

But the question is, Is Mario Kart Wii really going to cut into GTA4 at all? You have a game that has never been on a Nintendo console (GTA for the GBA is so bad, it doesn't count) versus a game that has only been on a Nintendo console. You have an M rated game versus an E rated game. You have 360 and PS3 owners which as a whole are older, more dedicated gamers versus Wii owners who are younger and/or not as big gamers. Frankly Nintendo has little to lose in this match so they are just flexing they are just calling Rockstar out. Sadly, they are calling RS out from their yard while RS is in their own.

:D

this is a win-win situation isnt it

I can't even find 4 people on Smash Brothers online, how am I going to play with 12 people?? Nintendo has done a great job with the Wii, but their online really sucks! Let's get Brawl's online fixed soon! MoHH2's online pawns SMBB's!

@everyonewhodoesn'tknow Its coming out April 11th in Europe and the 10th in Japan! We got the news ages ago

I'm excited for the Tournaments/Leaderboards channel, that'll be where it's at. I hope they do something similar for an F-Zero installment on Wii.

good news for everyone. but what about us in the EU :( we never get news...

AWSOME! IF you live in the U.S.... What about lil old Europe? I would like some info on that!

nintendo are a bunch of hater t ohave that release date. wonder who would really win for the week.

sweet, really can't wait, always loved mario kart games

Too good to be true. The game wont be available on that date. A development delay or yet-another limited production of the game/wheel will delay it till May or June easily. Just my prediction, I'd love to be wrong tho...
