Mario Kart Wii sucks anyway, boring tracks, dumbed down core gameplay for casuals... didn't it get like an 80 metascore?
It'd be a much fairer comparison if this was something like Mario Kart: Double Dash or MK: DS vs Modnation Racers.
My only fear for the game is that if it doesn't get the loading times sorted out, it's not going to do very well. With 3minute loading times not only will it get bad review scores, it's not going to be fun to play either so I doubt the creation community will pick up. However they said in the beta that the game was intended to run with optical support and not solely off the HDD so I guess I can assume load times will be at least ~halfed.
