New Mario Kart Wii details! [UPDATE]

Link

According to the Official Nintnendo Magazine, Mario Kart Wii will feature sixteen players online, an online battle mode, stunts, and certain Mario Kart DS courses redone with Wii grapical capabilities. Unfortunately, all of this good news comes with bad news, as the title is listed as having a Spring 2008 release date... a few months later than we were initially told. However, that is referring to Europe, so us Americans could end up getting it in Q1 still. :P

[UPDATE]

Apparently, ONM just speculated the whole thing... it isn't actually a fact. In my opinion, that is a very unprofessional thing for them to do, and makes them lose some of their credibility.

Wow, 16 players online? I can smell the lag coming from a mile away. I think 8 would have been plenty, but if Nintendo can pull off 16 then who am I to complain?

I'm still not sold on this game, though. I have MK for Gamecube and DS, so I'm not sure that I need another one for the Wii. The new Wii controls might be enough to warrant another purchase, but I guess I'll have to wait and see. The online isn't enough for me b/c I can already play online on the DS.

Uhh ... Uhh ... LAG! Wow I sneased loud huh? But this is the news I want to here! Thanks Rev. Although 16 players seems like alittle too much, Battle mode should be very very fun. I still prefer races so I hope the lag isn't constint.

While 16 players sounds like an awesome speculation, just think about how long it would take to locate all the players for each game! There are people out there who disconnect if they don't get enough players, and it could potentially be a huge, laggy disaster. :P

Eight would definitely be enough, I think. ;)

I agree, It would take so long for it to actually fill up to 16 players and if it just starts the game without them whats the point of even having 16 players. I actually had trouble with 4 players on my DS. 8 players would be classic as always and fine.
