Posted October 10, 2007 It might have to be Mario Racer eventually... Gran Turismo like realism with licenced cars and the characters sticking their heads out of sunroof. Full on dashboard views with arms of the character you select being shown... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 10, 2007 How many Karts are in this image? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 10, 2007 Whoa, I love the second image which looks like a homage to the first track of Mushroom cup in the original Mario Kart. Bikes or no bikes, I can't wait for this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 10, 2007 Man that looks shit hot. Ignoring the usual crapfest that are Nintendo screenshots, I really like the clean graphics, love the kart/bike design and the courses look lovely! Also, Peach= hot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 10, 2007 Those screenshots are bringing back horrible memories of Double Dash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 10, 2007 I count definately ten karts in that image. 10 would be a good number for each race. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 10, 2007 I'm trying not to make judgements based on those (pretty lame looking) screenshots... In fact, even if this amount to nothing more than Double Dash/DS with online and bikes, it'll be essential. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 10, 2007 How can anyone complain. This looks amazing! The karts look awesome. Also, has it been confirmed there are bikes or is it someone jumping to conclusions from the video as it could just be peach who rides a bike! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 10, 2007 Is it just me or does it look worse than Double Dash? Having bikes doesn't matter to me, as long as it's fun to play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 10, 2007 It will look better in motion, though from those screen shots the graphics don't looks exactly wonderful. Can't wait for the game though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 10, 2007 Looks hilarious! and bikes?! Great fun. I think it's about time Mario Kart added a new element and this is exactly it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 10, 2007 I love the Baby Mario and Luigi Karts, fantastic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 10, 2007 I don't get why people are saying it looks worse than DD, because even that was good. You also can't tell from pictures. It does however look like the DD engine's being used as far as I'm aware...and the graphics look shiney...Like DD >_< Let's hope it's great Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 10, 2007 I think the bikes thing isnt going to make that much difference to be honest we already know that the game uses just the wiimote in the wii wheel so we can expect perhaps controls and handling along the lines of excitetruck just without the stunts. So perhaps the bikes will almost be like a different class of kart much like the different types in Ds and DD? Perhaps looser and more volatile? Perhaps akin to the small karts with nifty handling and low top speed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 10, 2007 The screens might look a little colorless. Double Dash suffered from lack of colors in some places. It could look a bit better I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 10, 2007 Bunch of whining maggots it's a new Mario Kart game - whats not to like??? If you dont like the bikes then don't use them! Jeez no pleasing some folk on here! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 10, 2007 Those pics are a mix of good and bad to me. First, Nintendo really doesn't know how to make a screenshot look good. Second, I'm not really sure about those bikes but let's hope for the best. But I piss myself when i see all those classic tracks coming back, specially the N64 ones. As long as there's new ones too of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 10, 2007 So the ice level form MK64 and DK's level from DD will be returning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 10, 2007 I like the look of the bikes, and the vehicle designs are excellent. I like Waluigi's Mad-Max style roadster and the various retro-style vehicles on show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 10, 2007 Tell me there is a new vid floating around the net.... i want to see it in motion damit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 10, 2007 Tell me there is a new vid floating around the net.... i want to see it in motion damit There's the conference video, it's intirely in japanese, but there are videos there you can see Mario doing a wheelie on a bike It looks awesome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 10, 2007 looks like this will have some bloom effects then..... i think its looking good. The screenshot from behind(ish) luigi looking at a stadium of onlookers looks good. I hope the bikes are a different "type" ie play the game from start to finish, win cups etc and get to know the course... then get to use the harder-to-handle bikes, I would like it as an unlockable to give the game more playability (apart from the standard-issue "play the tracks in reverse" mode whcih will be inevitable) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
