ShadowV7 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I race normally when others do, but when people snake then I do aswell and end up winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarf Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Things will be different now that Boo is in the game.He will rule since he was quality in DD They should keep special moves but ditch double item box & dual kart. I think it is highly likely for special items/boosts/power ups too this time because it seems to happen in every mario multiplayer game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James McGeachie Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I race normally when others do, but when people snake then I do aswell and end up winning. See that's the thing, with me it's like, snaking feels like a natural technique, once you master item usage, handling, etc, it's the only way to "get better". Then the thing is though, once you get good at it....you have a choice with online...do you deliberately play badly, essentialy lying to the other players about how good you are, simply to be "fair", or do you play the way that's natural and normal to you?

ShadowV7 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 It feels weird not snaking once you can actually do. It feels to simple to play if you don't. I don't mind sort of 'capping' my skill because I just want a challenge and if they don't snake I don't so it won't be as easy to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathjam Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I didn't realise it was a technique till i came to this forum , and even then I thought it was another name for drafting. I only did it as natural as i thought "the tracks are wide enough to drift here so why not do it for as long as i can". Don't think i can do it that well though. Haven't played my DS in awhile =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aalborg Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 all is fair in love an online gaming.. and if it is something everybody can do I do not see a problem with it.. even though i wouldnt want to do it as it leads to premature baldness and itching in the most bizzarre places .. and bed wetting. Got a lot of abuse one night playing cod4 "you f****** camper your a gay mother******.. stop camping" .. I was a sniper.. this is what i do i will try this snaking next time or maybe not..

Gaijin von Snikbah Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Snaking makes it more a job and less a fun I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 A little rumour is going round that Japan are getting this April 10th 2008. To be honest, i think thats taking the piss quite frankly! Wii Fit, Brawl and Mario Kart before Europe get any of them? I don't think so, somehow.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksnowman Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Lol, I read that. It would be taking the piss, but would you really wholeheartedly bet against it!? To be honest, it wouldn't suprise me in the slightest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero-of-Time Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Looks like your right Owen as here are details from the latest Famitsu that GoNintendo posted. Mario Kart Wii - April 10th, 2008 (Japan)* Bikes in cup mode * Bikes have special actions like “wheelie†* 16 remakes and new courses * Wi-fi 12 players * Play as Miis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Looks like your right Owen as here are details from the latest Famitsu that GoNintendo posted. Well it's a joke if you ask me! Theres other markets, other then Japan! I thought Mario Kart should be released in Europe first as we're having to wait for Brawl and will obviously get Wii Fit last. Nintendo are diabolically shite when it comes to release dates and Europe, i'm sorry but it's not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cube Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Having to wait for Nintendo games to be released in Europe? Surely you jest! Hopefully Mario Kart will be quicker considering that NoE have been trying to get it released over here for a while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Having to wait for Nintendo games to be released in Europe? Surely you jest! You would think i'll be used to it be now, but it seems to be getting worse, which is a huge contridiction on Nintendo's part when they stated games all over the world will be released within a much smaller time-frame then Gamecubes....so far, thats complete bull.

Agreed. At the end of the day there isnt any decent reason why they cant get games out near enough the same time as other regions. Microsoft and Sony both manage it so why cant Nintendo? Oh and before any one says its because both them platforms are full of FPS and dont need much translation I will point you in the direction of Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey and Eternal Sonata. All 3 are RPGs with massive amount of text or voice over work and all 3 were released over here within 1 maybe 2 months of america. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

or else you will DIE Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 The one thing that disappoints me is the number of tracks. 16? Come on.... And no, I don't count the old ones. And baby Peach? What the fuck? Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
