Mario Kart Coming to the Nintendo Wii

The Mario Kart series of games revolutionized video game racers. I mean, before Super Mario Kart, when did you get a chance to fire bouncing turtle shells at your opponents? When did you get to use a lightning bolt to shrink everybody down so you could squash them? And when were racing games ever just so much fun? And then Mario Kart 64 came along and upped the ante. It didn’t get much better than that.

Well, now we can add a third game to that illustrious list: Mario Kart Wii with Wii Wheel, and this one takes it to the next level. How? Well, it’s for the Nintendo Wii, and it comes with a wheel accessory that you fit your Wii remote into, allowing you to actually steer to control your racers. It still has all the fast-paced, crazy action with weapons and amazing courses that you remember, but you actually get to steer to control it. It also includes a ton of courses from previous Mario Kart games, allowing you to play your old favorites against your friends using the wheel. Get ready to fall in love with Mario Kart again.
