Speaking today at the Nintendo Conference 2007, Nintendo announced that Mario Kart Wii will, for the first time, include motorbikes. The two-wheeled racers join an array of four-wheeled karts.

It was also confirmed that the game will ship with a steering wheel controller – gamers slot the Wii Remote into the wheel shell – and that the game will be released in Japan in spring 2008.
