In the run-up to the unfortunate demise of online play in Wii games, Cubed3 held some Mario Kart Wii Wi-Fi matches.
Over the period of a few weekends, the Cubed3 team dusted off the old Wii consoles, plugged in what is still arguably one of Nintendo's better controllers - the GameCube - and dove head first into intense online matches. Through a sea of blue shells and eclectic Skype sessions and multi-camera work, we've compiled a handful of highlight reels for maximum enjoyment or cringing.
