Mario Kart for Wii ships Today

Apr 27 2008, 12:46am CDT | by Luigi Lugmayr

The fun racing game Mario Kart for Wii is starting to ship today, Sunday.

Today lots of gamers will sit in their living room with a kart wheel in their hands. Make sure to close the curtains.
I have already played Mario Kart on my Wii and it is total fun from the first minute playing the game. The steering is very intuitive and the karts are easy to maneuver through the course. Getting your kart for the first time shrunk by some dangerous ray from above made me laugh out loud. Multi-player mode is just pure family friendly fun. So far Mario Kart is my favorite game for the Wii.

Mario Kart for the Wii comes with the Wii Wheel, which makes it easy for novices to compete against veterans, so no one is left in the dust.

And with a broadband hookup to Nintendo Wi-Fi connection, you can compete with up to 11 other drivers from around the world for racing dominance.

Mario Kart Wii will include 16 new courses and 16 classic courses from previous Mario Kart games. For the first time ever, players have the option of racing with either karts or motorbikes. Players can also hit the road as their personalized Mii caricatures in addition to the handful of classic Nintendo characters found in the game. True to the series, the game features tons of racing, plenty of power-ups and oodles of objects for players to use to slow down other drivers. And 10 battle arenas will keep players busy between trips around the circuit.

Mario Kart for Wii is available on Amazon.com for $49.99.
As reported yesterday Toys'R'Us promises more Wii consoles in stock for the Mario Kart Wii launch today.
