DCK Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Bottom line is: you can complain all you want, but this is Mario Kart and it will always be fun. It looks nice, removed the flawed double thingy from Double Dash and it's an online game. This game is a winner for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zechs Merquise Posted July 12, 2007 Author Share Posted July 12, 2007 The only thing that bugs me is the silly wheel, I hope they do include other controls, ie classic ones as I don;t want to have to buy four wheels to play at home with my mates. Other than that this looks great. I don't see what people are complaining about the graphics for, they look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelda_Rulez Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I don't think the graphics look that great, about the same as Double Dash maybe a bit better. But this'll improve as these are probably shots from an early build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petey Piranah Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I don't care for the graphics in this game personally. It's a game to pass some time. I'm not going to be using it to make a statement or anything like that, just get it to have some Mario Kart fun as i've enjoyed previous entries of the series. I just want it to play well. No Super Monkey Ball race style handling, that mini game was destroyed in Banana Blitz Online with battle is great news for me. I just want a selection of unique tracks and have more than one control method and i'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelda_Rulez Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I remember Reggie saying "We also think more racers means more fun. How many more? Well, stay tuned". They didn't get back to that did they? Does this mean that you can play with a lot more people than usually in Mario Kart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kazzahdrane Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I can't get over the fact that apparently no one has ever heard the phrase "this isn't your father's <XYZ>"! When he says, "This isn't your father's Mario Kart" he means it isn't the same as the previous games and should at least have some noticeable differences (usually improvements but specifically differences). For example, you could easily describe Mario 64 as not being your father's super mario. It doesn't have anything to do with not playing with your dad, trust me. DadPlay, or "thrashing the old man who can't really play games but likes to show some interest" will still be available in Mario Kart for Wii!

Phrases are funny like that, if you don't know anyone that uses them, then you don't know them at all. I never knew the phrase "I don't know him, from Adam" until I started going out with my girlfriend. I once knew someone who had never head the phrase "Flogging a dead horse."

nintendo_guy Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I personally find the Wii Wheel to be very appealing; I suppose this is the answer to this installment's innovativity, just as two people on one kart was the answer to DD's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petey Piranah Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I wonder what Reggie and the gang were thinking after there was a less than stellar reaction to the announcement of Mario Kart Wii and the complaints city galore that have followed?

T-Bird Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 It doesn't matter 'cause you know when it comes out everyone will get it, and love it, and that'll be that. Another success for Nintendo I say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably humiliated. They should have shown a better trailer instead of saying, "this is the new Mario Kart", and then showing a bunch of half-assed clips on HIGHLY nostalgic tracks.

I wonder what Reggie and the gang were thinking after there was a less than stellar reaction to the announcement of Mario Kart Wii and the complaints city galore that have followed? What complaints? Was the Nintendo Show badly recieved? I'm surprised, because I think the fact that MGS4 was just more prerendered cinematics when SONY really need a big killer app was much more damaging.

RedShell Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Looking forward to seeing more of this, hopefully we'll get some direct-feed vids by the end of the week. Visually it seems like a fusion of Double Dash, Arcade GP and DS. Looks great though and I'm glad it's back to a single driver per kart. Here's hoping it'll play like DS but with a much upgraded online mode. If it is 12 players though that’s going to be a right laugh! The Wii Wheel is pretty cute too.

Mario kart is one of the best Mario karts I've played. I hope for the same but different options and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think back to the price of the Wii and the less than $250 = £249.99 so by that rationale it will be 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammy2211 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I wonder what Reggie and the gang were thinking after there was a less than stellar reaction to the announcement of Mario Kart Wii and the complaints city galore that have followed? After people doubted the DS, Wii Remote, Brain Training Games and NIntendogs they probably took it on the chin ready to once again sell millions of copies and prove every critic wrong. Although perhaps they turned to alcoholism and plan to jump off a bridge by the end of the night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
