Mario Kart Wii is probably my most anticipated first party game of 2008. No, scratch that, it is my most anticipated first party game of 2008.
Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu recently had a feature on the friggin awesome game, and confirmed that it was, in fact, friggin awesome. Famitsu confirmed a release date of April 10 in Japan, playable bikes in cup mode, special bike actions like wheelies, a total of sixteen courses, 12 players online, and Mii support. Oh my crap.
The new courses revealed were: Luigi Circuit, Moo Moo Country, Mushroom Canyon, Toad Factory, Mario Circuit, Coconuts Mall, DK Snowboard Cross, and Wario Mines. Returning courses include: Peach Beach (GC), Yoshi Falls (DS), Ghost Swamp 2 (SNES), Mario Circuit (N64), Sherbert Land (N64), Hey Ho Beach (GBA), Monty Town (DS), Waluigi Stadium (GC).
Other things confirmed include Baby Peach as a playable character, an online league and worldwide rankings, local rankings, a specific channel for the online portions of the game, the ability to send and receive time attack scores via WiiConnect24, the ability to send and receive ghosts, and possible GameCube controller support.
