The popular Japanese magazine, Famitsu, has recently released new images of Mario Kart Wii. Not only that, but new information about the game has also been released.

(Babelfish translation was used for the Quote)

Mario Kart Wii will be released on April 10th in Japan. Nintendo thus reveals to us the first images and some information:

- the karts will be usable in 'Coupe' mode.
- the karts can use a new special action "Wheelie".
- a Wi-Fi mode with 12 players.
- the possibility of playing with a Mii.

Lastly, courses. We will once again find 16 new courses and some remakes of the old circuits. Among the latter, the ones that were already confirmed are Waluigi Stadium (Game Cube), Mario Circuit (Nintendo 64), Yoshi Falls (DS) or Ghost Swamp 2 (Super Nes).

UPDATE: Here are new images.

    I hope Mii stats are based on their hight and weight but it's likely to be pre-set, also I hope they've added a create a course option, which could be done in three steps, structure, obstacles and music

      Yes, you do. they're little people you make on the Wii that resembles yourself, really.

      And I honestly can't wait for this game, it might even be better than Brawl in my eyes.

    Mii's? Motorcycles? This game is now ruined, and the online will fail as well due to the ranking system.

    I thought this was a Mario Kart game. Not a Mii Motorcycle game.
