I gotta say, that´s my most wanted feature for the next Mario kart...4 people using Wii remotes, and two using gamepads (since the Wii U will eventually be able to support two gamepads).

I find it hard to believe it will be supporting 6 players, think about it, 6 different images being rendered, kind of rough. Unless the secondary GamePad comes unique with a bit of processing power in it to save the Wii U from having to do even more work, it would probably be a bad idea anyway.

6? Definitely 5 players like in Nintendo land. But maybe Mario Kart won't require a ton of power to have 2 gamepads... we will see.

5

If you treat your customers like enemies, you'll find you have few friends.

Or you could just play private games between two + different consoles. Sounds like it would be kind of crowded to have 6 people playing on the same system. And they would probably need to cut back visuals and performance a great deal as well.

Do I think it will feature six local players? No.

Mario Kart is probably pretty light on the system processing wise, so maybe. I think the easiest would be five players though, and Nintendo will probably take the easiest route, considering Toad nr2's reappearance in NSMBU.

awesome

Bet with pezus: If the Wii U has over 150% of the Vita userbase when the next CoD Launches, and has a synchronized launch, then it will outsell the lifetime sales of BLOPS:Declassified for Vita. 3 Months of sig control is at stake.

My money would be on 5 for sure.

Nintendo said that the cost of adding the second gamepad was having the fps dropped by half and while Mario Kart isn't very graphics intensive that's still a lot of pixels.

Unless they find a way to avoid that performance hit and run the game at 30fps for all the 6 players then they will go with only 5.

6 would be nice but 5 sounds more reasonable to keep the fps up.
