Forget the racing aspect of the game... I'm totally sold on there being an online battle mode. Plus that steering wheel makes for a nice touch too.

Nice - will have to pick that up.

This is what I've been waiting for!!
Finally!

When does it come out?

Another great game to look out for soon.

Good question!

Depending on what site you read you'll get varying answers. IGN states 2nd quarter of 2008 while wikipedia states April 28th. Seeing as how Japan's release date is April 10th, I wouldn't be surprised if wiki turns out to be true. Case in point is Super Smash Brothers Brawl. Its release date in Japan was a little over a month earlier than it is here.

Honestly the other Wii title I'd like to see arrive asap is Wii Fit. It's all ready sold over 1 million units in Japan much like SSB Brawl has in a very short amount of time.

Wife & I are both eagerly awaiting Wii Fit too.

Official release date May 19, 2008.

Will have to pre-order mine at the local gamestop, I imagine they will sell pretty quick.
