Tell me which of the 3 has a HISTORY of evolving and not rehashing!

All three of them.

OK, first we need someone to complain about something trivial. Golden or S_B should do. Then we get someone to defend the game, like Bill or Mashiro. Finally add some Unclebob or Pro666 randomness and the thread should go to hell right away .

On that note (and without that intention), has anyone seen a video that shows hopping? I count myself proudly among the Double Dash haters, and the lack of hopping was most of the reason.

Info supposedly from this week's Famitsu...Consider it rumour until the magazine actually releases!

~ Release date 2/28 (Japan, obviously)
~ Up to 8-players (Online, most likely)
~ Bikes, animals also ridable (!!!)

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #106 on:** December 11, 2007, 09:20:47 AM »

So now we now what happened to Donkey Kong Racing. And didn't they already confirm 12-player online?

EDIT: Yes, the most recent Nintendo Power (Holiday 2007 Page 31) specifically confirmed 12-player Wi-Fi races.

Riding animals would be the lamest thing ever, that would destroy the entire franchise as we know it. This isn't Mario Animal it's Mario Kart. I'm calling fake.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #108 on:** December 11, 2007, 10:21:15 AM »

I don't see how including ridable animals as an option alongside bikes and the traditional karts would destroy the franchise. If you think it's "the lamest thing ever" you can just choose to race in a kart.

Mario may be stating sarcasm, but I don't know anymore with him. He confuses me now.

Mario · « **Reply #110 on:** December 11, 2007, 10:30:04 AM »

Animals would control completely different, they dont have wheels, they aren't vehicles. Can someone name one game where you race on animals that's good

Caliban · « **Reply #111 on:** December 11, 2007, 12:23:11 PM »

"animals also ridable (!!!)"

"Can someone name one game where you race on animals that's good"

Giggity giggity, heh, allll riight.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #112 on:** December 11, 2007, 01:00:58 PM »

Just what I was afraid of, the news is fake...Sorry, guys... =)

Mario · « **Reply #113 on:** December 11, 2007, 08:43:11 PM »

Great news. I had faith in Nintendo.

Ceric · « **Reply #114 on:** December 12, 2007, 05:07:25 AM »

I didn't like them adding bikes.

LuigiHann · « **Reply #115 on:** December 12, 2007, 05:13:06 AM »

Bikes wouldn't bother me any more than the tractors and airplanes and whatnot in MKDS, which is to say, it doesn't bother me at all. They all control the same.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #116 on:** December 12, 2007, 05:28:19 AM »

I've always wanted the karts to have visibly larger motors as I go up in difficulty level.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #117 on:** December 13, 2007, 08:16:31 PM »

REAL impressions from Nintendo Power to make up for last time! =D

- Controls very smoothly
- Graphics: much greater visual detail than any other Mario Kart. character animations, rushing water, exploding fireballs
- Sound is great
- 16 brand new courses along with many previous ones.
- new items
- Performing stunts will earn you a sweet reward (Bill: probably a boost...I'm thinking they are using this to replace powerslide boosting...)
- Match-making process is much better with shortened times to get into a match.

Stogi · « **Reply #118 on:** December 14, 2007, 03:30:19 AM »

No word on how many players on-line huh?

No biggy. I'll enjoy this better with friends sitting adjacent to me anyway.

Only 16 new courses? I wish Nintendo added one more bonus grand prix that unlocks when you beat the star cup, and bump up the total number of courses to 20.

Who knows; maybe they did?

wandering: Why wouldn't you reference Twilight Princess which had much better horse play.

Pun not intended...but anyway, yeah.

I don't think there were any horse races, though. On a related note, I think it'd be pretty cool if Link w/Epona were a secret character in a Mario Kart game.

I also think that, if ridable animals were ever included in a Mario Kart game, it'd probably be a mostly cosmetic change, and they would control just like a car. That's my assumption, anyway.

Mario · « **Reply #123 on:** December 15, 2007, 03:43:00 AM »

Can you imagine how that would look. I'm vomiting all over my keyboard right now

King of Twitch · « **Reply #124 on:** December 15, 2007, 05:27:09 AM »

But it's supposed to be Mario Kart. It's a game about mario and...karts.
