Good god I cannot wait. 
Between this and GTA IV, I will literally be in gaming bliss.

I do not avoid women, GAF, but I do deny them my essence.

So have we figured out yet exactly how the controls are limited when using either the Gamecube or Classic controller?
The mini site is nice, although not much besides the video.

That was just misinformation, you can do tricks with the dpad on the GC and CC.DeceitDecide said:

It's funny - the graphics look the same as Double Dash, the tracks look uninteresting, 'extreme' motorcycle Mario is silly, the unlockable characters are just 'meh' - but I am so pumped for this game because Mario Kart has NEVER let me down.

See, I thought that was the case. But wasn't the statement about GC and CC having gimped controls issued in an official Nintendo presser? That's fucking bizarre...

Oh fuck yes. It's almost here. I hope the online mode is smooth and inviting. I want to be able to enjoy all the modes this game has to offer.

Apparantly that press release was a case of misinformation as well - go figure :lol .DeceitDecide said:

Heh... Nintendo having poor media realtions? Well, I never...
Anyhow, thanks for helping me straighten this issue out, guys. Now I can anticipate MKWii without hesitation.
Well... except for one more thing. What does everyone think of the new drifting mechanic? The competitor in me digs the eradication of snaking, but the purist in me misses blue sparks.

Unfortunately I think that's what everyone's attitutde is. So much potential wasted

Is there a reason why we only have to wait like 2 weeks for this in Australia, but have to wait like 4+ months for SSBB?

I'm not sure how "interesting" tracks look to me from what little I've seen of them, but I do know there's 32 of them, and I'm sure there's a number of greats to play on for hours and hours.
And as lame as bikes being in there to make the game extreme is, the potential for added gameplay and strategy is just so high.
The ramps, boosts, shortcuts, and wheelies - especially when you use these - will definitely separate the hardcore from your typical Mario Kart player. That's what I love about this franchise.

I read the Nzone review and im kinda excited
Im going to get it day one but that was a given
they pointed out that the game was very much like mario kart DS
and had some cool features like the online mode.. (although they are using the text chat system of endless ocean... bummer)
the controls are just as the previous versions if you use the Wiimote + nunchuck or Gamecube set up..
the wiimote mode seems to be a little bit wonky but they said its much better then most of the wii racers they have played..
PS
i have 2 gc controllers from the previous gen and i have 2 wiimotes and 2 nunchucks so i will be playing 4 player day one.. YES!!!

Man if this is as good as Mario Kart DS, Nintendo is really on top of their game this generation . So far in just a year and a half we already have gotten a AAA Zelda, Mario, Metroid, Smash, and Kart. Not to mention Wii Sports, Excite, Paper, Strikers, FE, etc. I think this is already Nintendo's best generation in terms of quality and it's really just getting started.
