Serebii Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Can the 3DS do DLC? I'd love to see the weekly challenges make a return (and extra tracks via download, but that's probably wishful thinking!) I believe it can, especially through SpotPass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Dem0- Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Has anyone preordered this +/ SM3DL? Im waiting for the best deals, but i might preorder in my local gamestation, because i want to trade in some games at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im waiting for the best deals, but i might preorder in my local gamestation, because i want to trade in some games at the same time. I preordered both from Amazon several weeks ago when they were £28.97 each though they have subsequently went up since then I transferred my Super Mario 3D Land order over to The Hut this week as they were offering some Mario themed headphones with both it and Mario Kart 7 for £29.95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katie Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I think I'll get this pre-ordered from Shopto, £29.86 at the moment. Looking forward to some N-E Mario Kart games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Peeps Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I have a strange tradition of getting MarioKart games from the shop on launch day so I'll probably do the same. I'll go out early and have it before I normally would if I had it delivered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cube Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I've just had a look at the tracks from the first two cups (Retro and New). One SNES, One GBA, Two N64, Two DS, Zero GameCube and Two Wii. The lack of GameCube tracks and existence of Wii tracks is hugely disappointing for me. I didn't like any tracks from Wii, and loved most from Double Dash!!

Fused King Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I've said it before and I'll say it again: If there's one track that should definitely be incorporated into Mario Kart 7 from Double Dash it's this one: My favourite track ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somme Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Double Dash was the worst one so I'm glad I won't be reminded of it at all. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Dem0- Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I prefer DD over Wii any day, it received some of the lowest reviews compared to other MK's but IMO it was an absolute blast especially with 4 players, and a lot of the courses were excellent! Wii was still fun, but the only track I liked was luigi circuit... Whats the 1st track that you race on in MK? For me its always been luigi circuit/raceway if not then a similar track eg mario circuit, figure 8 etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katie Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Good to see that you're still out there:D I'll always return for a MK release I've just had a look at the tracks from the first two cups (Retro and New).

Hero-of-Time Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Steering wheel incoming! - steering wheel accessory for 3DS- will give the feeling of using a real steering wheel - large L and R buttons for improved control - form factor that allows for easy grip - officially licensed from Nintendo - ¥1,280 - hits Japan on Dec. 1st Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 How's that gonna work?!! I imagine it's like the Wii Wheel... but you can't exactly tip the 3DS side to side as you're watching/playing it!!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I think I've just found an image of it... ... I now wish that I hadn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 Yeah have to say that's pretty much as expected, though I thought the console might be central. Still don't see how it's really gonna work... do Nintendo's developers use the 3DS in an entirely different way to the rest of the world, because they seem to have an overconfidence when it comes to gyroscopic controls for 3D games! The Wii wheel worked because it was fun, where as this just doesn't seem practical! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 That one's the actual wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I realised the one I found wasn't the actual product shortly after posting... ... still the 'official' wheel still doesn't inspire much confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 ... still the 'official' wheel still doesn't inspire much confidence. It's clearly WORTH £7! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 More info Hori has revealed its Mario Kart 7 steering wheel peripheral, which tilts the entire system in order to control the game. The steering wheel has been officially licensed by Nintendo, and is currently only set for release in Japan. It's obviously similar to the Wii Wheel peripheral, which came bundled with Mario Kart Wii back in 2008. The peripheral will be available for 1,280 yen, which is roughly equivalent to $16. It will be released on the same day as Mario Kart 7 in Japan. Even with 3D turned off you're still going to have to tilt your head with the steering wheel!

darksnowman Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 If they are incorporating MK Wii tracks into the retro cups, then I'd love to see Maple Treeway and Koopa Cape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro_Link Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 Think I'd rather not know all the tracks that are in it though. Discovering the tracks is pretty much the only thing you get out of a new Mario Kart game. I've seen a few through the early videos and pics, but think I'd like to try and keep a few surprises.
