Well Go Nintendo has the scoop. Mario Kart Wii will have snaking. The next issue of NMag has some details on the new title. The puzzler though is that they also note that the controls will be similar to Excite Truck. I still can't imagine snaking and therefore competitive racing to be possible with a motion controller. Could it be that this title will be best played with the classic controller? It still remains to be seen, but it's a great sign that snaking has been included in the game and that we'll have a competitive online experience.

Undoubtedly test versions of the near final version of Mario Kart Wii are being put through their paces... Go Nintendo is reporting that last week saw 865 connections from Mario Kart Wii!
We should see that number rise in the coming weeks.

In other news, yours truly placed his amazon pre-order for the game today. Have you got yours in yet?
