Looks a bit to childish for my liking they should make the new mario kart like the old skool versions like the one of the snes and N64 those were the best.

 

[Pandachix]

I love it, I can't wait to get it!

I don't understand what you mean by childish. It's the same general idea as the originals.

I get what he means by childish, I love the Mario Kart series but the graphics don't look very good. Smash Bros graphics look far better. I hope the game play is killer.

 

[Minako]

Who cares? This kart game's gonna rawk. <3

I hope Daisy's gonna be in there, otherwise my sis will go loopy. 9_9 Peach is my gal... wait, is she riding a bike!? Good lord, how can you win on that thing?? XD Man, Peach must have some strong legs. *bricked*

My fave part about these screens... I see many tracks I recognize! Namely my old favorite Moo Moo Farm! *bounceoffwalls* I still wish they could have added on the double racer feature like in Double Dash.

 

[daviduk200]

rly?
i didnt like the twin racers as much it was fun for a while but limited things

 

[Minako]

Yeah, I love it A LOT. Because me and my sis like to play most of our games together--that's why I tend to be the only one who really loves rpgs because I don't mind single player games. But I love 2player ones where you can adventure together, it's a lot more fun! Especially if it's optional.

Take Legend of Mana, Tales of Symphonia, and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles for example. All had optional multiplayer adventure/gameplay.

Well, I'll be fine either way, but it'd still be nice if they had like "Duo Mode" or something. XD

 

[daviduk200]

well i love co-op play so much its the best, i just dont like it in sorting games / racing.

i mean imagine co-op RE4

 

[JT.]

Motorbikes FTW! And you can perform stunts! It doesn't get any better, as long as they have replays, to show off the stunts. I'm wondering, what happens if you screw up a wheelie, or any stunt for that matter? D'you go flying off your kart/bike?

 

[....wiiiiiii.....]

for thos who dont know a trailer got released the other day aswell, showing off motorbikes ect. its pretty short, its bad quality and its in japanese but atleast we can see how the game is .
tricks look pretty sweet, hopefuly ign or something will get a hands on with this game soon

 

[SantaClaws]

they said there would 12 players online didn't they?

 

[daviduk200]

i thought it was 10 originally but i wasnty 100% positive, so i just put at least for security

 

[Minako]

Sounds sweet. <3 Can't wait to roll dem bikes.

And it would be funny if you could mess up a stunt and go flying. XD I used to have an old computer game where that happened quite often. The flying off your motorcycle thing was SO unrealistic in that game, I did on purpose just to laugh. Never got tired of it.

Trailer! Thanks for the heads up wiiiiii~

 

[daviduk200]

yeah i hope they do something more imaginitive than the classic

sminning in circles when u get hit or hit a bananna,
