12 Players Online For Mario Kart Wii


According to reports from 1up, Nintendo revealed at their annual Fall Conference in Japan this week that Mario Kart on the Wii is going to support up to 12 player games online. So far, no other Wii game has boasted 12 players online in a single match-up, and hints at a streamlined matchmaking system only raise the anticipation levels for the online game.

A trailer shown at the conference also showed footage of motor bikes for the first time, as well as some of the cool tricks that you can pull off in your karts/bikes/vintage looking racing cars. There was also a circuit that has a snowboard styled halfpipe that Mario was performing Rodeos off of - nice.
