An upcoming issue of NMag is going to feature an exclusive story about Mario Kart Wii. From a preview of this article, we have learned some new information about this highly anticipated title. According to the preview:
- Sliding and Snaking will return
- Baby Peach and Boo will be playable drivers
- The game will feature an online Battle Mode
- 16 new and 16 old tracks will be playable
- Each driver will have a unique vehicle
- The control scheme will be similar to that of Excite Truck
Other than these new tidbits of information, specific details about this game are rather limited. We can only hope that Nintendo will release more information about the title at upcoming conferences and press events later this year.
