I ordered Mario Kart Wii a while back, two copies in fact, one for myself and one for Paige. Having played Mario Kart on the Super Nintendo and also playing it on the Nintendo DS, I knew it would be a good game. It arrived yesterday and has lived up to my expectations. Mario Kart Wii comes with a steering wheel controller. It's not a big steering wheel, a little bigger than the Wiimote. It took a few minutes to get used to, but definitely adds to the playability of the game. There are 32 race courses in all, 16 new and 16 classic. This weekend I will give it a try playing against Paige. She got a new 58" plasma Hi-Def TV, should look really nice on it. You can race against friends online, will need to try that out too with some of my co-workers.
