Nintendo Wii Fanboy

Mario Kart Wii

When Mario Kart released on the DS, it launched the online service on Nintendo's handheld. It's still one of the most popular titles available for online play even to this day. And with the new additions to Mario Kart Wii, the experience is likely to become that much better.

Along with all of the stat-tracking, Mario Kart Wii will allow up to 12 players to race online at once, making it a hot prospect for online play. But, there will also be extensive local multiplayer support, allowing friends to enjoy the game in any way they see fit.

With the inclusion of bikes into the mix, as well as the tweaks to the formula Nintendo is performing (no more snaking, folks), Mario Kart Wii is likely to be the best entry in the franchise yet.
