As far as Gamers Domain is concerned (well, this writer anyway – I think the rest of the staff will lynch me for this), Mario Kart 7 is the most anticipated game of the year. And today, Nintendo announced some amazing online features for the game.
Using wi-fi, players can compete with any other player around the world. In addition to this, players can create groups using the “Community” feature and customise races for this group.
The Karts themselves can be controlled via stick or gyroscope, and for the first ever time in the Mario Kart series players can race using a first person perspective! Your best times and scores, can be shared via street pass, and excitingly ghosts can be transferred via Spot Pass. You can race as characters or your own Mii.
Excited yet? Oh and one more thing. If you preorder through the official Nintendo site you can claim a free pouch! Hmmmm. Well come on! The rest of the announcement was worth reading!
Free pouch?! damn Nintendo know how to draw in the crowd
