With DK bongo blast, Mario Kart Wii, and the eventually F-Zero- don't hold your breath for it!

Please tell me we don't have to use the Wii Wheel to steer

It comes with it, and you are 'supposed' to use it, but I don't see why you HAVE to. Just don't put it in the Wii Wheel.

Let me be the one to disappoint you.
That toy is for kids from 18 months to 3 years that means no wheel for you required.

Frankly, Boxart isn't Nintendo's strongest point. I mean, look at Twilight Princess... look closely. There is a sharp edge between the two heads...

And look how the game was received... very good reviews, excellent sales.

Umm, I think Nintendo swallowed there pride along time ago when they decided that every time they'd release a console for all eternity, it would contain these exact games:
-a mario/luigi game of some sort
-a zelda game
-a metroid game
-a smash bros. game
- and for the remainder of the consoles life cycle they just release 3 or 4 more Mario Party games, and a Mario Sports game for every sport known to man.
-repeat.

It has Mario on the cover. That's all that matters, right?

Do Microsoft or Sony not rehash their franchises too? You'll also find that Sony in particular does this as often or more than Nintendo. How many Ratchet and Clank main games are there? Nintendo has one or two more main entries in the Mario series with what, a ten year head start? Try matching Buzz! games against Mario Party, there are some games that you can cookie cut for each holiday season. Each company cashes in on their franchises, and each creates exciting new IPs (perhaps not enough).

The Wii just keeps cracking me up. Kind of like 1970s era moonboots.

A little bland, don't ya think Nintendo? It looks like anti-virus software box art.

Well thinking about it Mario Kart Ds cover wasn't exactly one of the best.At least Nintendo included Luigi in this one.

Agreed. I never thought bad box art could make a Mario Kart game look unappealing, but I guess it can. Seriously, it's like box art for the Wii peripheral, with loose reference to a game one might play with it.

I don't think this one is a two cent hunk of plastic. There are clearly buttons on the back, which indicates some sort of circuitry and wiimote integration.
Perhaps stop and think before making unsubstantiated claims in your posts? Some of us like to get info BEFORE you start cluttering things up with your not-always-accurate "commentary."

Umm, the buttons are just the wiimote's B button sticking through. That is all. It's really just a plastic wheel. But personally I don't mind it. I enjoy the wii zappers more than shooting with just the wiimote, and I'm sure I'd enjoy using the wheel instead of just pretending the wiimote is one. Though they should totally have non-motion contols as well. Blue sparks baby!

Yes! Thank you, Nintendo! Brawl, Mario Kart...These games don't need motion controls.
And Fernando, why did you change your icon? It's going to take a while to adjust. Haha...

As long as one of the retro tracks is Waluigi Pinball, it's awwwwwwwright

Waluigi Pinball is indeed win. Easily has the best music in the entire series. Watch out for Brawl; Waluigi Pinball is one of the many, many music tracks in the game.

is it really that much of a bother?
call me crazy but i could have sworn that i saw this box sitting on the bottom shelves of the virgin megastore in Orland fl. on december 23rd. i know it sounds crazy i was like hey i didnt know mario cart was out already. but they had a different box. a clear box with the game behind the wheel. iam not a big fan of zelda. mario cart. or ssb. or pokemon. so i didnt take a good hard look. maybe it was just a coming soon box. i was busy looking for bleach for the wii to really pay attention. oh well.
just recycle the plastic. save the earth and problem solved. :D

How do you fit a Wii game in your pocket. You must still be wearing those JNCO jeans.
