Mario Kart is Out Today

The long awaited (at least for me it is) Mario Kart for Wii is out today in Australia (apparently it's delayed in New Zealand). The game comes with the 'steering wheel' accessory for the Wiimote so you can make the racing experience a tiny bit more real.

Anyway, if you want to grab one, Toys R Us has the cheapest deal at the moment for $74.99 and the rest varies
  • Toys 'R' Us - $74.99
  • Big W - $76.84
  • Kmart - $77
  • JB Hi-F - $79
  • Target - $79.95
This prices are for this week only, I believe, and after that it will go back to $99. The 'steering wheel' is also sold separately for $19.95, very expensive for a bit of plastic but hey, that's Nintendo for you.

Another exciting thing is the introduction of a Nintendo club in Australia (I think it's like a frequent flyer thing, buy things get points, etc). It's rumoured that in every Mario Kart Wii game, there is an invitation to join the club.

Anyway, I can't wait to play the game. I will post the review soon.
