Title: Mario Kart: Double Dash
Post by: Pikkcuber on May 15, 2003, 05:16:30 PM
First Im saying i Know theres a thread already started but there hasnt been many new posts on it and there getting off the topic. So what do you guys think about what he saw so far of Mario Kart DD at E3. I thought that the fact that you can race in the water with boat like things is awesome. Has there been any character additions since they first released the info on Double Dash? I think baby luigi is a new character but Im not sure, and daisy wasnt listed but was clearly visible on an early screen shot. Have you heard anything other than what PGC posted wednesday about it? The fact that Sonic Heroes or whatever its called is on all consoles, eliminates sonic and tails as possible characters. But i still think diddy kong is pretty cool.

I heard Aiai from Super Monkey Ball was supposed to be in the game.

It's been reported by various websites that the game will have built in 'tunneling'. I really want to have online play because my bro never wants to play because well.. he sucks.
Here's another question, do you think two people could play online through one gamecube against others? I would really like to see that happen but the lag might increase. If I hosted the match maybe not because I have cable and its fast
Looking forward to racing a lot of you online this November!!

its possible.......I hope they increase the amount of gamecubes that can be connected, but not neccessarily the amount of players. Like 8 players 8 tvs, it would help out with Online Lan play, but would increase lag a whole lot.

aren't they doing 8 tv's with 8 gamecubes at E3? i could have sworn I saw some pictures of this at gamespot or ign.
go about halfway down...i dont' think you could miss 8 tv's all in a row...

PGC already posted this info a couple days ago. According to PGC you can hookup 8 cubes. Man thats a whole lot of tvs, personally I dont see this feature being used as much as Nintendo hopes. I just wish they would of included online play. Ohwell maybe next time.
Hey Superlink666 or anyone else that knows, whats tunneling?

I don't care much for online gaming, but the LAN thing is cool. Eight gamecube and TVs is extreme, but you could do some cool stuff in games that will come out in the future.
As for Mario Kart. . . I loved the 64 game, still do, and they seem to have only improved on it, so I'm definitely getting it.

TOY: Tunneling means using the internet to connect to another machine and simulating a LAN connection between both. At least, that's how I understood it...

1) Aiai is not in the game...Someone goofed(perhaps they got Diddy mixed up with him)
2) No tunneling will be in the game, but wait, this is why

I'm surprised no co-op feature has been announced, but the way Nintendo's using this dual-character setup amazed me. Hopefully, they can utilize this setup for more new features.
