I am, and I'll bet you anything that that the game will come in a cardboard sleeve, because it comes packaged with the official Wii Wheel. I realize some of you aren't big Mario Kart fans, but I just thought I'd throw this out here.

It was released here a couple of weeks ago and came in a box with the wheel and the game in a normal Wii case so i don't see any reason why it would not be the same elsewhere.

Sorry - I actually got to check the US release a few days ago and found that it did, in fact, come in a full plastic case.  Thank the lord.  The coverart sucks, so I'm sure there'll be some great custom cases though. :)

Anywhoo, I will fully take the credit for the plastic case with my one-man e-mail campaign complaining about paper sleeves after the release of Link's Crossbow Training. ;)

We're all in debt to you!  ;D

So, do you have to use the Wii controller, or does it follow the recent trend of being able to use Gamecube and Retro controllers? That's what determines WHEN I buy it.

Just like Brawl. CC, GC, Wiimote (+ wheel if you want), and 'mote+nunchuk.

Although people say stunts are easier to pull off with mote/chuk combo.

I'm surprised Snowcone doesn't have the cover uploaded already. Oh, and who edited the topic?

You can find these things out for yourself... look at the bottom of "your" post... ;)

I hate non descriptive topics... most forums issue a warning for them or at least change them since you are forcing people to read your thread just to see what the hell you want to say. I don't want to waste anybody's time, and making them read this thread (or ignore it, as some do for unclear topics) is stupid.

Oh. I just thought it looked cool like that. I didn't realize you had to be descriptive. That, and I was tired, so I didn't really care.

I just got the game, and you guys are right. It DOES come in a case. It's a nice change from the cardboard sleeves from before. If someone doesn't beat me to it, I'll scan in the cover when I get a chance. Snowcone will probably beat me to it, though.

I'll add you, Doom, once I start playing it and get my code.

You know.. since the I have the wee in the family room instead of my game room... I often forget I have one.

Unfortunately for me it's either Mario Kart or GTA IV

MK can wait... ;D
If you have nothing to do... Don't do it here!
