With Mario Kart Wii's launch date of April 11th (Europe) fast approaching, details of the game are being released everywhere. Today, Nintendo of Europe has revealed the Wifi modes of the game.
You could choose between Worldwide or Regional in random matches, or duke it out with your friends. As you wait for your turn to hit the track, you could spectate other races going on. You could also set up rooms with your friends where you can text chat about the match. There will also be rankings where you can compare your stats with the best players worldwide and your friends. You can even race the ghosts of the best players!
Mario Kart Wii will also install the Mario Kart Channel on your Wii console. This channel lets you check up on a host of options without the need of inserting the disc into your system. Nintendo will also hold online competitions on a regular basis, so keep practicing!
In Mario Kart Wii you can go online via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection by yourself or together with a friend playing on the same Wii console, and let the games begin! You can directly jump into online races with random players Worldwide, or opt for Continental if you prefer a challenge closer to home.
Then you will be placed in a new group of people looking for a match, or you will join an existing group. When the latter happens you will become a spectator of that group’s race currently in progress, as you wait for your turn to hit the track. With up to 12 players being able to battle or race on the circuits of the Mushroom Kingdom simultaneously, Mario Kart Wii is set to provide the biggest challenge in the series to date!
