Mario Kart for the Wii? New Nintendo hardware?

Mario Kart for the Wii? - Image 1Jeux France mentioned, in their fancy language, some 'credible' rumors regarding Nintendo. Apparently, there is a big possibility of a Mario Kart game for the Wii to be announced on this year's coming E3 event this July 2007 (how about a Phoenix Wright Wii, Nintendo?). The idea of Mario Kart Wii feels about just right: it's basically one of Nintendo's flagship titles. There should be a Mario Kart for the Wii.

In addition, there are also some talks about a new hardware being developed by Nintendo. What's Nintendo possibly up to? Will it be a remodeling of an existing handheld, like the incarnations of GBA, the Gameboy Advance SP and Gameboy Micro? Or will it be something entirely new, like a new console perhaps?

Will these be something Nintendo fans can look forward to? Hopefully this coming E3 will shed light on this matter.

# New console? Unlikey...Guest 2007-05-31 23:24
Nintendo have no need for a new console; their console on both the portable and home fronts are great successes.



New hardware for another market perhaps... N-Gage inspired DS-phone, anyone? Maybe a remoddeling of the DS Lite. It's been a year since it was released anyway.



:P

Maybe its the Wii with DVD player :( I hope its something worthwhile like a Wii HDD or something (Even though they said they have no plans for one ; ; ) Oh well, either way Mario Kart Wii would be the answer to the question "why do we live". Maybe its a camera for Wii and the Mario Kart will be a port of Mario Kart Arcade GP :P

Yeah. I mean, Nintendo has never released a new version of a system after just releasing it. They never made the revisions of the NES, the SNES, the DS, or the Game Boy (like a Pocket, for example).



That would be *retarded.*

they DID remodel the NES, SNES, DS, and Gameboy. maybe i misunderstood what you meant.



maybe its the harddrive we all want, you know, since im almost out of room from VC titles, and Metroid Prime 3 will have downloadable levels and weapons, where are we supposed to store those?

# GBA on WiiGuest 2007-06-01 06:06
Strangely enough, Nintendo doesn't have any GBA or GBC games on the Virtual Console. I'm wondering if they will have some sort of USB attachment that allows you to plug in your GBA games and play them on the Wii. I mean, they did have that functionality for the Gamecube so its not a stretch.



More radically would be DS functionality on the wii, which could sell tons more DS games and allow you to play them at home on the TV or on the road.



Most likely though, its probably something less radical, like a Wii microphone or wiimote lightgun attachment.

with the mario cart, who freakn cares. Sure Nintendo has a name for itself but damn you guys are burning out every game with repeats. LAME nintendo releasing new hardware all the time is pretty stupid too.

YOu could buy a sd card and pray for a firmware update which actually allows the wii to properly use it.( Which was promised in a leftlet given out with PAL wiis anyway)

Hopefully Nintendo will release a serious console.



Y'know one that's not a gimmick and is worth buying.





But I guess Nintendo aren't interested in that.....

Why is it outselling the ps3 then?

Mario Kart is looking good and hopefully will utilize the same system that games like Excite Truck use.

If the PS3 had nearly 8 million units sold, I might consider arguing with you.
