Mario Kart: Victory Lane (Wii)

Ready your engines, racers!

Mario Kart: Victory Lane revvs up for the series' exciting debut on the Nintendo Wii.

Victory Lane is the next installment in the million-seller Mario Kart franchise, and expect all your favourite racers, vehicles, tracks, and items to make a return appearance. Victory Road brings some new features to the series, however. Not just karts are used this time around - you can also choose from a selection of cars, motorbikes, monster trucks, or retro vehicles, all compatible with both the Wii Remote and Gamecube controller. Compatibility with the nintendo Wifi Connection service is available out of the box, and you can get an online match of up to 16 players going in just a few minutes using Nintendo's intuitive yet family friendly Friend Code system. Victory road will also support a new peripheral, the Nintendo Wii Mic. The Mic allows for a revolutionary new feature - online voice chat - to be enabled before, during, and after a match.
   
Also new to the series is the Mario Kart Design Room. Using the point-and-click-like interface of the Wii Remote, any user can create a multitude of new features. New tracks can be built, uploaded, and downloaded. New items can be constructed using a variety of preset features. New vehicles can be constructed using a large seelction of Kart Parts, which are found/earned/bought throughout the game's various modes. You can even build your own character, by uploading various Miis! The acceleration, speed, weight, and grip will all be selected based on the Mii's own traits from within the Mii channel.
   
The race begins April 28th, 2008! Don't be left in the dust!

Edit:
The (horrible) box art has been confirmed a fake. No idea about the text.

Thank god that box art is fake, as much as I love the series, I couldn't bring myself to buy something that looks like that...thing...

On subject:
This is gonna be the best Mario Kart yet! Track maker, item maker, miis, downloadable maps, uploadable maps...But I'm sorta disappointed that there's no Double player per kart feature, I really like that in double dash...

Looking forward to this game. Been a fan ever since Mario Kart 64.

The Design room makes me want to cry with joy.
