Title: MK Wii Information Post by In Hiding on 02/27/08 at 08:37:14 1c) Motorcycles: ~ Unveiled at Nintendos Fall Conference, players now have the option of choosing between karts or motorcycles. ~ It is unknown what degree of change, if any, the motorcycles will offer from the karts. ~ Motorcycles are capable of performing power slides. ~ Motorcycles are capable of performing wheelies; they appear to gain a speed boost while performing wheelies. ~ Multiple motorcycles per racer will be selectable. ~Bikes will be available in multiple modes, not just Multi-Player. ~Motorcycles (like karts) are capable of performing stunt in the air and gaining a speed boost upon landing. 2c) Snaking: ~ Definition: Snaking is a technique that became popular in the game MKDS. To understand Snaking, you first need to know what a Mini-Turbo is. A Mini-Turbo is a technique where the player first hops and holds the jump button and slides, then presses left-right on the D-Pad rapidly. If done correctly, they will see blue, then red sparks, then release the jump button to gain a slight speed boost. Snaking is a continuation of this technique, where the player does a Mini-Turbo, then quickly does another Mini-Turbo in the opposite direction, and so on and so on. If done correctly and quickly enough, the player can gain a major speed boost. This is Snaking, the rapid use of Mini-Turbos consecutively. If done correctly and well enough, it allows players to easily out distance those who do not use Snaking. ~ Snaking has been confirmed to be in this game by Go Nintendo, which has proven in the past to be an extremely reliable source. Whether is has been nerfed, altered, or made obsolete by stunts is completely unknown. The only thing we know is that it’s in the game. 3c) Characters: ~ Mario ~Luigi ~ Peach ~DK ~Wario ~Toad ~Baby Mario ~Yoshi ~Waluigi ~Bowser ~Boo ~Koopa Troopa ~ Baby Luigi ~ Baby Peach ~ Miis 4c) Items: ~Triple and single Mushrooms ~Golden Mushrooms ~Triple and single Red Koopa Shells ~Triple and single Green Koopa Shells ~Single and Multi Banana Peels ~Stars ~Bob-ombs ~Fake Item Blocks ~ Spiny Shell ~ Lightning Bolt ~ Blue Koopa Shell (with wings). Courses: ~It has been confirmed that their will be sixteen new courses and sixteen retro courses, for a grand total of thirty two courses. This is not including the battle courses. Also, while we know that there will be thirty two courses, not all the courses have been revealed yet. ~Yoshi Falls: A brief segment of what is clearly Yoshi Falls can be seen in the first video with Yoshi cutting off Luigi and attempting to catch up with Boo, who is currently ahead of him. It has been confirmed this shall be a retro course of the DS version. ~Peach Beach.: A brief segment can be seen with Peach and a few other characters driving along the Peach Beach from MKDD. It has been confirmed this shall be a retro course of the Gamecube version. ~ Mario Circuit (Wii Version): Text can be seen in the beginning of the trailer, at the bottom right of the screen that gives the name of this course. It appears to be vastly different from previous Mario Circuits. ~Wario Mines: This level has players driving along a wooden track on a mine shaft. ~ DK Mountain: A screen shot shows Yoshi, Bowser, Waluigi, and other undistinguishable characters racing through what is undoubtedly DK Mountain from MKDD. It is unknown how drastically this level has been changed. It appears some basic changes, such as the addition of wooden ramps during the downhill run, have already occurred. ~Coconuts Mall: A screen shot shows Peach and Luigi racing through an area. In the background, a banner and a sign with the words "Coconut Garden" can be seen. ~Sherbet Land: A screen shot of Sherbet Land from MK64 shows Baby Mario racing with Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi in the background. It has been confirmed this shall be a retro course of the N64 version. ~Luigi Circuit ~Moo Moo Country ~Mushroom Canyon ~Toad Factory ~DK Snowboard Cross ~Ghost Valley 2: It has been confirmed this shall be a retro course of the Super Nintendo version. ~Mario Circuit: It has been confirmed this shall be a retro course of the N64 version. This is different course from the above Mario Circuit. ~Sherbert Land: It has been confirmed this shall be a retro course of the N64 version. ~ Shy Guy Beach (Hey Ho Beach in Japanese): It has been confirmed this shall be a retro course of the Game Boy Advance version. ~ Delfino Square (Monty Town in Japanese): It has been confirmed this shall be a retro course of the DS version. ~ Waluigi Stadium: It has been confirmed this shall be a retro course of the Gamecube version. |

Title: Re: MK Wii Information Post by In Hiding on 02/27/08 at 08:37:56 6c) Unknown Courses: (Unofficial names). ~Mushroom/Underground Track: In one level, players are seen bouncing from mushroom to mushroom. This may be a continuation of the Wario Mines level or a new level entirely. ~ Pipe Track: About halfway through the trailer, we see Luigi on a track with dirt and pipes to the side. This may be a continuation of Mario Circuit or a new level entirely. ~ Factory Track: In a screen shot, characters can be seen driving through some type of factory surrounded by mechanical apparatuses. ~ Frozen Track: Characters can be seen driving through an icy terrain with snowboarding Shy Guys as obstacles. It is unknown if this is a new level, a rehash of a previous Mario Kart Level with an ice/snow theme, or a continuation of Sherbet Land. ~ Mario Circuit 3: It has been confirmed via a screen shot that a course greatly resembling Mario Circuit 3 from the Super Nintendo is present. It is unknown how drastically this level has changed, if at all. Through the use of the map icons, we know it is a different course from Mario Circuit Wii version. We also know it is different from the Nintendo 64 Mario Circuit also confirmed present since they are, visually, drastically different. ~ Battle Dirt Stadium: In the only known screen shot of Battle Mode, players can be seen driving around a dirt stadium of some type with balloons tied to their karts. 7c) List of known Go-Karts Note: The go-karts listed here are the ones we know the names of. While some new go karts can be seen in the trailer, these have been intentionally left off since, besides some visuals, there is absolutely no information on them. ~The Standard MR. ~The Polturgust 4000. ~The Rambi Rider. ~The Standard PC. ~The B Dasher. ~The Standard TD. ~The Standard LG. ~The Standard YS. LordTwilight Posted 2/18/2008 7:15:13 PM message detail 8c) Game Mechanics: ~ Multiple karts per racer will be selectable. ~ Multiple motorcycles per racer will be selectable. ~ The minimum number of total vehicles per racer is four. ~ Mini-Turbos are back. ~ There will be twelve player online racing. ~ There will be online battling, the number of players is currently unknown. ~ For offline mode, the number of racers per game will be more then eight. At the start of the race shown, twelve karts can be counted. Whether this number is the maximum or can be modified for more or less is unknown. ~ For offline mode, four people on a single Wii can compete via split screen against eight computer players. So, it’s still twelve racers total per race. It is unknown if this is mode is Grand Prix or not. ~ Coins have been confirmed to be in the game. What mode(s) they are in is unknown. ~ There will be multiple control schemes. The two currently known are the Wii Mote and Wii Wheel. ~As demonstrated by Wario and Mario, players can now do stunts (360 spins and back flips have been seen) in mid air. Upon landing after performing a stunt, they gain a speed boost similar to a Mini-Turbo. ~Players can still initiate a “hop” or “mini jump”. ~ The button on the back of the Wii Wheel will be used to power slide. ~ The Wii mote (embedded into the WW) will be held horizontally, and turning it left and right turns the kart. ~ Motorcycles are now selectable instead of karts. See the Motorcycle section (reference number 1c, located above) for more information. ~ As demonstrated by Peach on her motorcycle, it appears as if more then one costume can be used by characters. While in her kart, Peach is wearing her traditional dress, but while in her motorcycle, she is wearing a pink jump suit. It is unknown if the costume change can be selected by the player, or if it happens automatically depending on the players choice of a kart or motorcycle. Since Mario is seen on his motorcycle in his traditional costume, it is most likely the players choice. ~Their will be a local and global ranking system. ~Times can be posted, sent, and ranked online. ~Ghosts can be uploaded and downloaded online. ~ Their will be a Wii channel devoted solely to MKW. 9c) Cups: ~ Flower Cup. Will include the following new courses: Mario Circuit, Coconuts Mall, DK Snowboard Cross and Wario Mines ~Mushroom Cup. Will include the following new courses: Luigi Circuit, Moo Moo Country, Mushroom Canyon, and Toad Factory. ~Shell Cup. Will include the following retro courses: Peach Beach (Gamecube version), Yoshi Falls (DS version), Ghost Valley 2 (Super Nintendo version), and Mario Circuit (N64 version). ~Banana Cup. Will include the following retro courses: Sherbert Land (N64 version), Shy Guy Beach (Game Boy Advance Version), Delfino Square (DS version), Waluigi Stadium (Game Cube version). |

Title: Re: MK Wii Information Post by Fabien on 02/27/08 at 08:58:03 - automatic (weak) and manual (better) drift/boost Does that mean that snaking will be possible ? I mean being able to pull off the flames as fast as you can. I thought it would be only automatic. :-? |
|
Title: Re: MK Wii Information Post by In Hiding on 02/27/08 at 09:00:18 It would help if i could edit my post.. hint hint :) |
|
Title: Re: MK Wii Information Post by Ostro on 02/27/08 at 09:00:54 Nope, you can slide like in MKDD, MKDS etc. but you don't charge the MT by steering but holding the slide for some time. The automatic drift is just some weak drift that automatically starts when turning sharply and doesn't give you a boost as big as the MTs boost (I'm not really sure if it gives you ANY boost right now :-X) |
|
Title: Re: MK Wii Information Post by Fabien on 02/27/08 at 09:03:24 Oh damn that sucks... :( I wasn't sure about this, thanks anyway. ;) |
|
Title: Re: MK Wii Information Post by Ostro on 02/27/08 at 09:05:55 Getting the hang of the amount of time that is needed to charge the MT will put you right up the charts I think. Then it's just about time we figure out how to do SSMTs and stuff like that. It's different but still there will be lots of techs I believe |

Title: Re: MK Wii Information Post by Astr0 on 02/27/08 at 09:13:39 Dry Bones and Toadsworth are also playable. |

Title: Re: MK Wii Information Post by Ostro on 02/27/08 at 09:16:29 Rumour, this is about confirmed information |

Title: Re: MK Wii Information Post by Abel Marques on 02/27/08 at 10:15:29 Which controller will be more confortable for time trials? :P |
|
Title: Re: MK Wii Information Post by Ostro on 02/27/08 at 10:24:10 If they keep the items on the d-pad it's definitely Wiimote+nunchuk. That way you will have a great control stick and still can reach all the buttons you need in a comfortable way (imagine slide-shrooming with the GC/Classic Controller x.x) WiiWheel will be fun but I think it's way harder |

Title: Re: MK Wii Information Post by Astr0 on 02/29/08 at 09:31:43 Battle mode image taking place in Delfino Square. (http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/article.php?id=3541) "In other Mario Kart news, it has been revealed that the MK wheel will be available to purchase seperately in the shops. Only the Japanese price has been conformed so far though and its 1,200 yen. That's around £6 but we don't know how much it will actually cost in UK stores." |

Title: Re: MK Wii Information Post by Astr0 on 02/29/08 at 09:38:09 And there is no Mario Kart Wii channel. :( :'( |

Title: Re: MK Wii Information Post by KillerMapper on 02/29/08 at 09:58:55 The channel will be set-up when the game is released no? |

Where did you get that quote from anyway? The only true part is that the wheel will be available separately. 1,200 yen in Japan? I know their games are cheaper but that is a ridiculous price. It will surely be closer to the 5,000 mark plus the 5% consumption tax that they have to pay over there. And Game (UK) is advertising MKWii at the price of 34.99 GBP. (http://www.game.co.uk/Wii/Racing/~r331520/Mario-Kart-Wii-Wheel/) By law they must sell it at this advertised price. It is final. |

Title: Re: MK Wii Information Post by Astr0 on 02/29/08 at 10:18:41 I'll get that link in a second. Macaque, MKWii will be £40.00 over here, just like every other game on it's release. Unless it is very poor like say, Cooking Mama. Edit: Same link - http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/article.php?id=3541 |

Title: Re: MK Wii Information Post by chesting snacker stelzig on 03/01/08 at 05:23:38 Why do you keep calling game UK? Game exists in other countries too. I live very close to one myself :P Maybe the £34.99 price is only for those who pre-orders and the normal price will be the traditional 40 :) |

Title: Re: MK Wii Information Post by Astr0 on 03/01/08 at 11:23:08 Yes, if I remember correctly you get money off if you pre-order it or buy it online. |

Title: Re: MK Wii Information Post by KillerMapper on 03/07/08 at 01:52:23 For me bikes don't have to be in a kart game, even if most of the karts in MK aren't karts... And now, we have less karts in the game, cause a character have 3 karts and 3 bikes. |

We'll see, but there will still be 144 karts if this info is true, and we will have access to all of them. Now I think about it, it's going to be much harder to find the right kart to use. ;D |

Title: Re: MK Wii Information Post by Chuck Foster on 03/07/08 at 06:44:13 GoNintendo didn't confirm snaking. They just said that they figured it was in. IGN actually played the game and said they don't think snaking is in since MT strength depends on the length of time the drift is held. http://wii.ign.com/articles/852/852952p2.html Perhaps it will be possible, but likely useless. |

Title: Re: MK Wii Information Post by [KA]Link224 on 03/07/08 at 07:44:21 Yeah, everyone will have the same MT speed, those who had a very high MT-speed on mkds will have no advantages... I don't like this too much... I hope there will be something to differenciate good players and less good players... |

Title: Re: MK Wii Information Post by Ostro on 03/12/08 at 02:14:45 It's only 2 shrooms but it's the same for all karts. |

Title: Re: MK Wii Information Post by chesting snacker stelzig on 03/13/08 at 01:24:06 They probably realised that the itemrate was useless and no one picked a weakened version of another kart just to get slightly more luck. |

Title: Re: MK Wii Information Post by Lenny on 03/13/08 at 02:22:23 Well, it seems a good choice, considering what we know about the MT system. 3 shrooms to compensate seems alright... |

Title: Re: MK Wii Information Post by Macaque on 03/16/08 at 04:06:40 The Official Nintendo Magazine here in the UK has a review of Mario Kart Wii. If anyone is interested, I can scan it and post it up here? :) EDIT: I have read it, they don't reveal that much new information, but here is the most important stuff I gathered:
ONM like MKWii. They gave it 94% and claim it is possibly the best Mario Kart ever. |
|
Title: Re: MK Wii Information Post by Astr0 on 03/16/08 at 06:43:40 That's stupid, they gave MKDS 95%, so obviously they think MKDS is better. I have doubts about this game. |

I read the magazine also. When I read what's in bold in the magazine I thought it's going to suck. Hopefully we can snake and make it work better then this long slide they talk about. But they only play games to some level. They can't play games like us that are here. We will see if it's more hassle or not. |

Title: Re: MK Wii Information Post by Abel Marques on 03/16/08 at 12:38:50 The MT's seem like a mixture between MKDS MT lengh and MKDD style of MT, I'm just wondering if the kart control will be as simple as MKDS. |

Title: Re: MK Wii Information Post by Alvin van Asselt on 03/19/08 at 03:56:30 The first track of the game looks a lot like Monza. Am I the first one to notice that? |
|
Title: Re: MK Wii Information Post by Etch on 03/19/08 at 09:58:19 I wonder how hard it might be to find shortcuts, all mk games have some. mkds did a good job at preventing this with checkpoints but even with that, two courses fell victim. Certainly can't jump very high from the looks of it, maybe you can perform a stunt to fall out of bounds. |

Title: Re: MK Wii Information Post by nstinson on 04/02/08 at 07:52:23 Fans of alternate Wii control schemes were obviously psyched when it was revealed that Mario Kart Wii would support a variety of control methods, including the Wii Classic Controller and Gamecube pad. But those fans might want to scale back their expectations, as an updated game fact sheet (posted on Nintendo's press site) claims that players who don't use the Wii Remote schemes will not be able to perform "certain moves" and "some maneuvers." What maneuvers exactly? We're not quite sure, but the new mid-air tricks probably aren't among them -- A Link to the Future notes that an IGN preview specifically mentions Classic and Gamecube controller users can hit the d-pad to perform those. We find it hard to imagine that the plethora of joysticks and buttons on the alternate control schemes can't replicate the controls of the somewhat button-free design of the Wii Remote. Could this be an effort to encourage more use of the practically useless 'extremely useful' Wii Wheel? You'll know as soon as we do. |

I find it hard to believe that Nintendo would not assign all control inputs to a button. This is just retarded if true, and will be sure to disappoint many. The obvious suspects are the control inputs to (1) pull off a mid trick, and (2) pull off a wheelie. I think that's all the wiimote adds, besides steering lol, and maybe pointing for game menus. I think instead it may mean that the classic control schemes lack the motion sensing abilities (the controller moves or controller maneuvers) that the Wiimote has. But that they're assigned to a button and everything works in the game still. Please God let this be true. |

Title: Re: MK Wii Information Post by Ostro on 04/03/08 at 08:06:19 " I know that Bozon had mentioned in our podcast that he couldn't find a way to perform tricks or wheelies in Mario Kart Wii using a GCN or classic controller. You can, though – the functionality is just mapped to the D-Pad. So when you go off a jump, tap up on the D-Pad and you'll trick. Same for wheelies. " IGN So? You can accelerate, brake, steer, drift and use items + tricks and wheelies. What is missing? (except for "A" on the Wiimote which is to look behind you) |

Title: Re: MK Wii Information Post by marinous on 04/08/08 at 08:11:20 hello guys, I've seen in a few stores here already some boxes with MKwii, but I thought they would release it april 11th :-? So, can u guys already buy it or is it just for the decoration btw I ordered one on the internet, so I might play it too. Though the MT-tech doesn't sound nice to me, so I might just stick with MKDD :D -Marijn Jongbloed |

Title: Re: MK Wii Information Post by Macaque on 04/12/08 at 08:28:44 I'm using the classic controller but I might try the Wiimote + nunchuk combo. This game is good fun on wi-fi but I can see it getting boring much faster than other Mario Kart games. It seems a bit too simple at times. |
