    REDMOND, Wash., March 12 /PRNewswire/ -- This year, the typical signs of
    spring will be accompanied by the sweet sound of revving engines and the sight
    of lightning-fast shells whizzing around every corner. Mario Kart(R) Wii is
    zooming toward its launch in the United States on April 27. The game comes
    with the intuitive Wii Wheel(TM), 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(R) Wi-Fi Connection, players can compete with up to 11 other
    drivers from around the world for racing dominance.

    "Mario Kart Wii transforms one of our most popular franchises into a race
    that every member of the family can join," said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of
    America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. "Driving with the Wii
    Wheel could not be more natural, and this is one place where speeding is
    encouraged."
    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(TM) 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.
    The easy-to-use Wii Wheel will also be sold as a separate accessory,
    giving every driver in the household a chance to get behind his or her own
    wheel. And if veteran Mario Kart fans are afraid of getting smoked by rookie
    drivers using the Wii Wheel, they can rest assured that Nintendo has them
    covered. Mario Kart Wii supports four different control options: Wii
    Remote(TM) with or without the Wii Wheel, Wii Remote and Nunchuk(TM)
    controller combo, Classic Controller and even the Nintendo GameCube(TM)
    controller. So there's bound to be a configuration that fits everyone's style.
    Mario Kart Wii launches with a new channel added to the Wii Menu to
    enhance game play: The Mario Kart Wii Channel. This new channel builds on the
    huge online community of Wii owners and lets players compete in tournaments,
    check worldwide rankings, see when their friends are playing and download
    ghost data.
    Remember that Wii features parental controls that let adults manage the
    content their children can access. For more information about this and other
    Wii features, visit Wii.com. For more information about Mario Kart Wii, visit

    This game is amazing, I think it deserves a little more attention though. It has a great control scheme (thank god) plays exceptionally well with the Wii-Wheel. I haven't tried the Gamecube controller yet, but I've read that if you're trying to get the best time, the Gamecube controller is the way to go because of it's stability. The VRC (Virtual Console Remote) works just as well. Personally, I find this game is pretty good and shouldn't be overlooked by any gamer old or young.

    I don't own it myself, but I was recently at a friend's house and this game took up most of my time. We took turns playing online 2-players at a time. It was a fun night. This game is highly addictive and I think anybody with a Wii would enjoy it.

    Forgot to tell you, but I got it as well. I tried all three controller methods: The Wii Wheel, the GameCube Controller, and the WiiMote + Nunchuk
    I'd have to say my favorite is the GameCube controller. Seems easier to control the kart/bike. Anyway, this game is amazing. Especially WiFi play. I love the 2 player WFC feature too

    I agree with speaker, the GameCube controller is by far the best
