Mario Kart finally makes a return on the Wii and it is what you would expect from a Mario Kart game. This game has a huge number of courses, deep integrated online play, an easy learning curve so that anyone can play, a fun and strategic trick system, and newly added motorcycles to add some variety from the go karts. However, the battle modes are now team based and timed, items are now even more unbalanced and can leave you frustrated, and although it is good to have some remade classic courses, some of them are just boring. Overall though, if you liked Mario Kart, then you will probably get this game. It even comes with a Wii Wheel with your purchase!
Pros:
+ Huge number of courses, including some of the most imaginative yet
+ Deeply integrated online play
+ Easy to jump into for players of any skill level
+ Fun and strategic trick system
+ Motorcycles provide a great alternative to go-karts
Cons:
- Nostalgia doesn’t save most of the classic courses from being boring
- Items are more unbalanced than ever, especially on new tracks
- Battle modes are now exclusively team-based and timed
Extras:

I found this game a rather disappoint upgrade compared to Smash. Ridiculously off balanced in everyway and slow

I have a question? Does anyone know how to unlock a WII with software only. I’ve heard of this new software and just needed some feedback.
BUY WII
I am guessing that we are talking about the Homebrew Channel located here. I haven’t used it personally, but from what I have heard it works very good. It works like an emulator and the only problem I have seen is that if you get a bad rom it won’t work as good. Overall though it is nice and you aren’t doing anything according to Nintendo.
