Mario Kart Shippin' out

This week sees Mario Kart Wii powerslide its way to retail, just in time for the ANZAC day long weekend. The game features more control schemes than you can poke a stick at, including the Wii Wheel, Wii Remote/Nunchuk combination, Wii Remote/Classic Controller combination, and GameCube controllers. Fans of the series will be pleased to note that the game boasts 32 tracks and now givers racers the ability to choose motorbikes. On top of that, you can take Mario Kart Wii online and race up to 11 other players from around the world via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Channel. Be sure to check out the Mario Kart Wii and the Wii Wheel bundle this Thursday when it goes on sale for A$99.95 ($93.32).

The Dual Shock 3 controller for the PlayStation 3 will be debuting on April 24 for A$99.95. The only difference between the Dual Shock 3 and Sixaxis controller is it supports rumble feedback. It still features the motion-sensing technology that the Sixaxis contained, so it will still be backward compatible with all existing PS3 games. Some of the older PS3 games already support vibration feedback, but it's up to the developer to patch in the function for those that don't support it.
