Mario Kart launch trailers are comprehensive

Nintendo has prepared a pair of trailers in readiness for the
Japanese and
European launches of
Mario Kart Wii, showing off
every imaginable facet of the title. The Japanese version goes into a little more detail (it touches on the controls, for instance), but both are worth watching for the reams of new footage they contain.
The European trailer is embedded after the break, as well as a Japanese TV spot that contains no gameplay whatsoever, but which we enjoyed nonetheless for its simplicity.

The more i see this, the more i look beyond the relatively crappy character models and see how polished this game is
In screenshots, it looks like nothing new next to DD, but in motion, you see it shine

I could do without the stupid ass mid air tricks, I guess i'm to much of a Mario Kart purist. I still think the Ds version is one of the best in the seriese, snaking excluded.

I'm SOOOO getting this! And I'm a none racing game fan. In fact the only race games I ever enjoyed were Supersonic Racers & Circuit Brakers (psx), F-zero (snes) and Destruction Derby & Road Rash (psx/snes) but this looks absolutely fun. Plus judging from the videos I've seen so far it seems like its the kind of racing game I can enjoy with my total noob skills!

I didn't know DK's Jungle parkway is included... you see it at the end of the first video if you look closely... Is there a comprehensive list of tracks yet?
