Information on the new version of Mario Kart for the Wii platform is starting to crop up, and folks are now reporting that it's going to support a 16-player online multiplayer mode!

It's been killing me that there aren't any great online titles for the Wii yet. The whole Wii experience is so driven by a friends-in-the-livingroom multiplayer mindset, it seems only natural that people should be able to goof around with friends online as well. I'm psyched that Mario Kart will have this capability, but just imagine if Wii Sports had shipped with this functionality.
