Nintendo dismissed all reports of Mario Kart Wii errors today, stating the game is single-layer and not prone to the issues that plagued Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Are Japanese disc read errors giving Mario Kart Wii a flat?

Nintendo summarily dismissed any and all rumors about Mario Kart Wii errors today, saying that the game is a single-layer disc and was therefore not affected by the crashes that plagued Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Several sites, including Eurogamer, GoNintendo and GameFront (German site), reported over the weekend that Japanese copies of Mario Kart Wii were causing loading issues and even system crashes.

This morning Nintendo reps said there were no such reports filed with it in Japan, Europe or otherwise, and that Mario Kart Wii is only available on a single-layered disc.
