Mario Kart Wii will return its the single-car gameplay, instead of the two-to-one car style seen in its console predecessor, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!.
Like Mario Kart DS, the Wii version will have new tracks and will include those from older games, and the newly added feature 'stunts'. This game has been announced to support the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service. It will support an online racing mode where players may be able to go against each other in a single race simultaneously and an online battle mode.
In a series first, motorcycles will join in the racing action.

I don't normally post review scores but according to a poster on NeoGAF, the May issue of EDGE contains a Mario Kart Wii review giving it a score of 6.
A few other interesting games also seem to be reviewed. For reference, the last Mario Kart on the Gamecube got a 5.

1@zeromous,
Not me.
But for sure, the pack in will boost MK Wii sales.
Since there is no news on the date of Wii 2, and the fact that Wii have a price drop, there could be significant sales of Wii before Wii 2 release.
I don't think it will be 10 Million more, but I wouldn't bet anything against Wii, since it is a strange machine, with strange appeal.
Better going long on this than going short, is my own philosophy.[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids

2Latest Mar 2010 number for this title directly from Nintendo put sales at 22.55 million. In the last fiscal year it sold over 7 million units world wide. Given the legs that a core Mario game will have I think this is easily viable as a long purchase at current prices. I you are going to buy a 'racing' game for the Wii...what else are you gonna buy?[ Guru ] [ Level 20 ] [ Rank: 424 ]bids
10deftangel posted on Mario Kart (Wii) at 4:04AM PST on February 2, 2009. Article: Mario Kart Wii biggest seller in 2008A joint report from NPD, GfK Chart-Track and Enterbrain has just claimed that Mario Kart Wii was 2008’s biggest selling game across the US, Europe and Japan. The Wii racer sold 8.94m units last year, beating off Wii Fit with 8.31m sales and GTA IV which moved 7.29m copies. Super Smash Bros. Brawl came fourth with 6.32m sales, and Treyarch will no doubt be thrilled with a fifth place for World at War and 5.89m units sold, even without a Japanese release.[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 291 ]

I wouldn't go long on a peak, but I do consider your points very valid. I happen to believe that we aren't going to see as strong sales as a result of the price drop as we are used to, due to the untraditionally saturated Nintendo market.
Sales leaders usually benefit the least from price drops, especially because the price point of their system was so reasonable. My grandmother already has a Wii....these are the customers who normally take advantage of significant price drops like this one.
I'm not counting the Wii out, but I am certain we will see the Wii2 in late 2011 early 2012. This doesn't give MKWii much time other than in emerging markets. But clearly this price has peaked.
