Earlier this year, we saw the release of Super Mario Galaxy for the Nvidia Shield, at least for those in China. The official port boasted features like upscaled graphics and replaced higher resolution assets. Other Wii titles like The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and Punch Out were all announced for the platform in that region, as well. Then, during ChinaJoy 2018, Nvidia's booth was shown having a playable demo for Mario Kart Wii.

This will mark the first official release of the game in China, but perhaps a more interesting fact revealed was that this version of Mario Kart Wii will also support online multiplayer for up to 12 players. Of course, the Wii version had online multiplayer when it launched a decade ago, but since the Nintendo Wii's online services are shut down, you can no longer access the original servers on original hardware. Mario Kart Wii for NVIDIA Shield will also be rendered in full 1080p, and if you own it, and Super Mario Galaxy, you can unlock Rosalina instantly, much like you could in the original.

I am actually in the Middle Kingdom right now, but I don't have a Nividia Shield.

 

[Coolsonickirby]

How?

Because the physics are infinite time better. A lot of shortcuts require real skill. The AI can actually be hard. A lot of custom tracks. etc.

 

[Vieela]

Pretty surprising to see Nintendo allow something like this in a foreign console rather than theirs.. I'm quite surprised to be fairly honest.

you should use dolphin for that. Shield TV cant keep stable 60fps on super mario galaxy

they will :/

No, but the Switch should be able to, apparently, no OS overhead.

Soundtrack is too synthy, MK8 OST > MK Wii.

One more reason to move to China

Now I feel bad for not finishing all 200cc cups yet

Considering no VC, we will probably just get more remakes instead.

 

[Pleng]

And I bet Nintendo will be dicks and keep this region exclusive.

Meh, not fan of Mario Kart Wii.

Ah yes... Trust you to moan about company x not giving you product y, which you don't even want

I don't know. It sometimes felt like the cartoon style and the "real" instruments don't sync that well, but could be my imagination. Both are positive in their own way. :-)



Personally, I favor MK Wii a lot more. Good old times I guess.

Wiimmfi is slowly digging it’s own grave as soon these Chinese ports get sent overseas either by hackers or by Nintendo themselfs.

Sorry, were you talking?

I'm totally okay with that. ;-)

I guess Nintendo doesnt realize if they released those games here people would be lining up and throwing their money for the Nvidia Shield just to play some Mario. When will Nintendo figure that out?

 

[hamohamo]

Is there any reason why they don't release em internationally?

 

[LightyKD]

So much port begging for Wii games. I DO NOT want to see a single Wii game on Switch unless it comes with Wii Remote support. No Wii Remote, NO BUY! Not gonna play gimped Wii ports when I can easily turn on my Wii U and play the game the way it was meant to be played.

Your guess is as good as mine. I dont think it would be an issue releasing it here. I guess its the same old Nintendo that doesn't want our money this time.
