  That's great and all, but I'm choosing GTA IV over this. I doubt it's better than the original, Super Mario Kart...ok, it likely is better, but still, I'll get this within the coming weeks, no rush here.

    It's actually pretty decent, surprisingly! I've thoroughly enjoyed it so far.

  Yay. I really can't wait to get this game, damn I wish I had it now. It'll be great when it comes out, the Wii Wheel looks awesome.

  Yeah, because the kart racing genre is so saturated with games this is some kind of feat.
  
  Mario Kart is basically the only freaking game in the genre.

    I'm pretty sure they're just trying to say that MKWii is the best console Mario Kart since the original Super Mario Kart.

      I find that supremely hard to believe since Double Dash was *bleep*ing excellent.

        Actually, Double Dash is the lowest rated Mario Kart game in the entire series.
        
        And I also think it was the worst. Too gimmicky.

    Let me see... Jak X : Combat Racing, Crash Team Racing... What are those then?

      Exactly. You prove my point. No competition at all. You see what I'm saying?

        Well, CTR > Mario Kart IMO. Mario Kart is selling so well because loads of Mario fanboys are buying it.

        To each their own, but Mario Kart is definitely the better game.

        Crash Team Racing was better than Mario Kart Double Dash, but not Mario Kart 64 (IMO). Of course, that's just the original CTR and since then there really hasn't been any competition...at all.

  <sub>Talk about a bad time for a Release date seeming how GTA4 is coming out and its going to overshadow in sales to this game.
  
  GTA4 > MKWii
  
  I can't see anyone choosing a mario kart game over GTA4.</sub>

    Well there's:
    
    1. People who only have a Wii.
    2. People who dislike GTA games.
    3. People who are long-time Mario or Mario Kart fans.
    4. People who want to try out the Wii-Wheel.
    5. People who are rich and buy all major games on release date (MKWii comes out before GTAIV, after all).

      I am European and Storm's first three, mainly first two, suit me perfectly, I would expect that they are not an uncommon gaming group in America. It will be interesting to compare the games sales though.

        Sure would, but the difference is that GTA is on PS3 and 360, MKWii only on the Wii, so either way, it looks like GTA will have higher sales.

        Storm for some reason I don't have the option to reply to you directly (technically I am responding to myself) but I just want to say good point. But then again the 'once lost' gamers that make up a large chunk of 'casual' audience could very easily have an awful lot of Mario Kart fans who can play it again in it.

    Disagreed. I am so hyped about GTA IV, but I'll still find time to play MKWii, because it's a great game. Maybe it has something to do with the European release, but still I won't give up on it totally after GTA IV.

    Speaking of which, what the hell is Nintendo thinking? First Brawl, now Mario Kart Wii, being released...on a Sunday? Why not a Thursday or something, would be better for the school kids, closer to the weekend, more time to play it.

      It's much better then the usual Monday/Tuesday release dates. I'd rather play it all day Sunday, rather then go after classes on Tuesday and pick it up.

        Yeah, with way more crowds on Sunday, too. I think Thursday's the best bet for release dates, but that's just me.
