Mario Kart Wii - Online Details Reveiled.
Ok, I'll admit it, I forgot that Mario Kart Wii was coming out. Lets just say it was overshadowed by the fact that Super Smash Bros. Brawl comes out only two days prior, and I'm rather excited. I was presently surprised however to see all the craziness that is the Mario Kart Wii's online connectivity.
Players of Mario Kart DS will be familiar with the connectivity system. Players will be able to join games with friends (whom you have traded friend codes with, a system that I despise but Nintendo refuses to change), Worldwide players or same-country players. This means I can avoid most of those dastardly Asian children with their painful l33t skills. I still feel like less of a man after playing my DS online.
The best part of the whole deal is the Mario Kart Channel. This allows you to check rating, online status of friends without ever booting the game. Additionally, players might receive periodic "Competition" invites from Nintendo, similar to the mission system on the DS.
This month is looking to be a huge wallet buster for me. And the list just got about $50 bigger. If you all need me, I'm going to be decorating my cardboard box with some rose-art crayons. Crayola is just too spendy.
