Atariboy Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 It doesn't sound like a total loss, but they're odd decisions to not include racing grand prix championships in multiplayer and not team battle mode when they've always been there.

Gregory DG Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I don't care if they modified the multiplayer a little bit. I'll be getting this on Day 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I don't have anyone to play multiplayer with, just as long as they didn't make it as hard as Double Dash!!, i think it'll be fine. DD was the worst Mario Kart title IMHO. Either that one or the original (I like the original with a Game Genie, though. That 'god' code rocks!)

mimo Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 Actually the multi player is very very good, 4 players on the Wii at the same time. 1 or 2 players on the Wii against up to 11 opponents online. Play against other players anywhere in the world, on your continent or invite friends. Race against "Ghost" data, and Nintendo have not even started with the Mario Kart channel competitions yet loving this game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaperman Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 (edited) If you screw up multiplayer in a Mario Kart game, you fucked it up BIG TIME. you're kidding? multiplayer mario kart has been horribly broken forever. Speedboost-speedbost-speedbost-shortcut-blueshell... Really it took the DS title (awesome game) to show off exactly how broken that whole system can be. I stopped playing online when I realized I had purchased 3 hand grips just for that one game, and even if I held up, my D-pad would surely go out anyway. not thrilled with the idea of 'stunts' but (aside from more freaking snaking) Edited April 17, 2008 by Reaperman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari5200 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 yeah if the multi player is anything like the DS version, I won't be playing multi player on this game. But regardless, Mario Kart is a must have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaperman Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I thought I read somewhere they had killed the snaking in MK Wii? I linked to before shows otherwise, though it doesn't seem as effective as on DS. Really it's not that snaking seems to have been cut down too much, there just seem to be other boost options now.

Bilnick Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Multiplayer on the DS is loads of fun. Myself, my kids, nieces and nephews and brother in law often play 8 player Kart. Playing online vs someone who snakes is not fun at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DracIsBack Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I said it was the worst Mario Kart title, not the worst title ever made. Sure, there are plenty of games that are worse than Double Dash. Apparently I need to play more Mario Kart titles. I thoroughly enjoyed Double Dash. Haven't played the original Mario Kart on SNES since it was new nor Mario Kart 64 since its initial release. What didn't you like about Double Dash? We used to have video game parties where the XBox, PS2, Dreamcast and GameCube would sit side by side. They'd all get played (Xbox: Halo; PS2 Katamari Damacy; Dreamcast: Crazy Taxi and Soul Calibur) but Mario Kart Double Dash usually made up 60% of the night every time.

Sure, there are plenty of games that are worse than Double Dash. What didn't you like about Double Dash? The fact that it's the most difficult MK title. I'm not really into impossible challenges, but I did manage to unlock Toad and Toadette. From what I remember, the 150cc Grand Prix mode is overly difficult. I think I'll revisit it and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesD Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 (edited) I played Mario Kart Wii today. Nintendo had a promo tent set up on the 16th Street Mall in downtown Denver. I played a head to head series against another person. To be honest I thought it played pretty well. I've never played a Mario Kart game before so I can't compare it to older versions. I didn't figure out some of the boosts that the review talked about but there were plenty as it was. One possible problem... I placed 3rd on the very first track. I think it might be a little too easy. The girls working the tent tried to get me to have a Mario Driver's License made. It was free but I passed on it.

dntoll Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I have played the game for a few days now, and I think its singleplayer is as good as Double Dash the online modes make it better! Games should be hard! The online multiplayer is superfun, it is a great feeling to win a 12 player race. I have also tried playing online with a friend, that was also fun but the setup is kind of stupid, with the registering of friend codes... And you cannot write your own messages to eachother, you must select from a few prewritten... It would be more fun with a wireless headset... Playing multiplayer (on the same wii) is fun, and a really good thing that you can use your old gamecube controllers! The single player is challanging, the 50cc Grand Prix is easy but the 100 cc is a lot harder (I still trying to learn the manual control properly) The little steering wheel was no big hit for me, but my girlfriend uses it. Buy this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuck.. I dont like DD. I like Mario Kart DS. Original one is great too.. Yknow, I dont think I've ever played the english version of SNES Mario Kart ever in my life strangely enough.

Atariboy Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 As a big fan of the series, the first two are the best without a doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomberpunk Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 so let's say you have MawiioKart and a wheel already but you want another wheel for your friend/sibling/child/dog. instead of spending $16 on a piece of plastic like this, you could spend twice as much and get another racing game with it. the reviews aren't great, especially when compared to Excite Truck, but Monster 4x4 World Circuit isn't really all that horrible.

Malc74 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Yuck.. I dont like DD. I like Mario Kart DS. This. DD left me totally cold - it just seemed to lack the spark that the other MK games have. MK: DS on the other hand, was nigh-on perfect (except for the snaking, of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
