Some box art images have surfaced for Mario Kart Wii, but we are skeptical. Here is the suspected box art:

Although it looks really cool, this image has been around for a while:

Now do a quick image search for “Wii Wheel” and on the first result page you have this:

So with some clever photoshopping, you can make that box art easy. It is really cool looking box art, and I would be glad if it was, but it looks to be photoshopped (I still could be wrong though :P)

Also, there has been some murmurs that you will be able to use your Miis in game. This could be pretty cool, especially if you were able to attribute stats and what not to each driver. Here is a screen I came across, but I won’t claim this as true yet, but it is fun to speculate!

Word on the streets of the internet say that Kid Icarus is coming to the Wii and is being developed by Factor 5. The game is supposedly going to be created from the ground up, which means they are actually going to use a new engine and we won’t get stuck with GameCube graphics.

As you can tell, us Wiitards loved the game Kid Icarus (see banner). Its game play is reminiscent of Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link, but with its vertical level design and the use of going out from one side of the screen and popping out on the other side, at the time, was incredibly innovative. I would love to see Pit enter into the 3D platforming realm because flying and shooting arrows at the same time is awesome. More later if the rumors turn out to be fact!

If anyone needs a refresher on the old Kid Icarus days check out this video and let the nostalgia rain.
