Today was a great day in the Nintendo universe, 2 big games dated. The first is Wii Fit, we all know this, little white board? Invisible hoop? Look like a idiot? That's the one, it's been out in Japan for a while now. But the big announcement is Mario Kart Wii, not only was it dated but we have a load of info and screenshots from the kind folk at Nintendo. As a celebration they went mad and released.... 178 screenies, yes 178 screenshots, more commonly known as A LOT. There has been a flood of information as well but the main points are that there will be a channel to accompany the game. As for new characters, from the screenshots I can see Baby Peach in a Buggy Kart, and on the mini map, a Koopa head, but I cannot see if this is a Parakoopa or not. Probably the thing that will please the most members is the Mii usage -you can use your Miis as online avatars and they also pop up as spectators. But the big one: you can play as your Miis.
I cannot really fit all of this info in so I suggest you follow the link, check the Info and look at all 178 of those screenies. Enjoy. http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/article.php?id=3422.
