  Conference, this time about Mario Kart for the Wii. For starters, it has a tentative release date of Spring 2008. Which again is a little later than planned, original estimates slotting it in at Q1 2008. So, bad news.

  too interested in the Wii Wheel. Looks tacky, and even with an open mind, I can't see it working very well. But what do I know. Nintendo are going to release the thing anyway (it's free with every copy of Mario Kart), so if you're going to be around one sometime in the next few months, you may as well get acquainted with it.

  me, getting to test-drive Mario Kart for Wii was like combining both those events. Nintendo’s president, Satoru Iwata, spilled a few beans in an early-October presentation. He excited Mario Kart fans by confirming that the game will include Nintendo Wi-Fi connections for as many as 12 players, shortened times for matching up players

  is that Mario Kart Wii final box art? Maybe! It seems to have all of its facts straight, now that the Mario Kart Wii title has dropped its "tentative" moniker and that the ESRB has given it an "E" rating. The logo is certainly different than the one shown in Nintendo's own press room, but we're willing to let that slide in our evaluation of

  Mario Kart Wii is expected to debut in Japan on April 10th, 2008.
