Here's an article with some big online info:
http://ds.advancedmn.com/article.php?artid=2740
The fact you can play any mode, character, option or course online is amazing. The only limit being 4-player is simply astounding. After the horrific lan-modes of Double Dash I'm very very glad to see Nintendo takes this seriously.
Online! Excited time.

So we have...
US - November 14
Europe - November 25
Australia - November (no exact date confirmed)
Japan - December 8
Looks like you Americans will get in some practice before the rest of the world, you're gonna need it too.

From the article in the OP:
While using the Nintendo Wi-Fi connection, gamers will have the choice of playing against their friends, rivals (similarly skilled opponents), recent competitors, regional racers, and even worldwide players.
Does this mean we are going to get some sort of online statistics on players???? This makes me happy... very very happy.
Also, custom decals a la NFS:U2 is AWESOME as well.

My only concern are the controls. What are they? Is it just d-pad and buttons or have they shoehorned some touchscreen stuff into it?

I wish there were things like previews that could tell us stuff like the controls. Oh wait
4-play isn't a huge down for a first gen online game. I'd rather full-featured than 8 player.

Yeah Ian. I actually feel special cause I played it for about an hour at PAX. The core game controls are just as classic as we all want them to be. It really felt like Super Mario Kart to me.
The only thing the touch screen seemed to be used for was adjusting what your second screen did. To be honest, I didn't play with that part much because I was having too much fun with the game itself.

I don't really like the idea of 8 player Mario Kart. It kind of sucks to be in the back, unless they implement the scoring system in DoubleDash. But if that's so, then you'll have to wait for the other three players to finish (race is over once the 7th place guy finishes). I've never played 8 player LAN with DoubleDash, so if anybody could talk about how well it worked, then yeah... otherwise, it's not a big deal to miss out on 8 player online. As long as the four player online has computers to fill the end of the pack. I didn't like the way they made it limited to 4 player VS in previous MKs with no computers behind 4th.
BUT finally I'll be able to play multiplayer with actual HUMANS! When I say TAKE THAT JERK! it'll actually mean something now. Sorta...
Post by: vudu on October 13, 2005, 09:59:11 AM
QuoteI believe 8-player LAN on Double Dash!! was still limited to just four karts--two players per kart.

1 player mode...
and DD was 8 players per kart, or up to 16 players with two per kart.
EDIT: I meant, 8 players, 1 in each single kart.

You can? I thought that you could only play a straight up race online; Grand Prix and Battle are not available. Maybe you're thinking about multi-cart multiplayer..
QuoteWell, you couldn't expect them to allow too much to be played in single cart mode.
DS Download Play will allow for up to eight users to race via a single cartridge. While in this mode, gamers who do not have a copy of Mario Kart DS will be forced to play as ShyGuy

the only way one could really downplay that is to ask if most of those in line are there for Macs or Ipods. Either way, it is still freaking amazing. I am very happy for Apple.
I am going to probably be blasted for this, but I would actually like a simulated analog stick touch screen option much like SM64DS, otherwise I am very happy with what Mario Kart DS appears to be.

Anyone who uses truly random WEP keys knows what I'm talking about. By doing it in the game, every time I set up a new WiFi game for the first time, I will have to enter a random 10 digit string that I will have to look up on my router. I mean, it's kind of a hassle, and I think it's a sign that we will never see any sort of firmware update for the DS, because I can't think of a better reason to do it than this.
I'm happy to play my games, but also bummed we will never see the actual unit with full online integration. The odds of getting a browser just went down a bit.
Edit: On the plus side, at least it appears that the game will store multiple connection options. I travel between at least 3 wifi networks regularly, and I like the idea that I can put the info for each in there once, and not have to re-enter every time I move around.

I think that a separate forum would be the best. Maybe with automatic threads created for each day for improved organization (Ex: "Mario Kart battles for 11/14/05") and announcements for official tournaments. Then within the daily threads people could just say, "Anyone on for 6:00 PM PST?" and match up like that.
One month is so far away...

Of course a review isn't so useful if you already bought the game.
Though like any of us are going to wait for a review anyway. The most I'm going to do is look at the score and make sure it didn't get a 3 or something. Is the game broken? No? *runs to the store*

My friends and I stopped playing MKDD Battle Mode a long time ago. When we play, we set the grand prix courses to 9 laps, and set the item change rate to "intense" or whatever, thereby making the race course into a battle course. Sure, primary objective is to win the race, but the SECONDARY objective is to see how badly you can SCREW THE #1 GUY OUTTA FIRST PLACE.

I think there's obvious classic tracks they didn't put in, so they wouldn't make the previous Mario Kart's insignificant. Mario Kart Super Circuit will still be relevant to me after this release so I can play ribbon road. Same with MKDD and lots of other tracks.

It's still somewhat disappointing. You would think it wouldn't be too much related to lag, since the same problems would easily plague the races (ie, getting hit unfairly by items, photo-finish races going to the wrong player, etc). I do understand the development time constraint, though. It's a shame online battle is the thing that has to go. It was the best way to play multiplayer in MK64, and MK on SNES. Battle in MK: DD largely sucked, in my humble opinion.
At least LAN battles will still be super awesome.
I'm very excited they're bringing back the old item style, and the hop. I just couldn't get over no hopping in MK: DD. I might be the only one, though. They seem to be taking the right direction with this game, with the older, generally more favorable style, and 16 retro + 16 new courses. The MK team seems to understand people want compilations like this. I wish other teams (*cough*Mario Party*cough*) would release old favorite minigames in newer versions. They're not going to be making any more profit off the N64 Mario Party games. Just release them all as unlockables in Mario Party 7! I'd buy it.

Is the Yoshi's Circuit from MK64 the one with all the tracks and the giant? I could never navigate that track properly always falling off or getting lost

Wario Stadium (Simply brilliant design, and the most fun ever.)
Mario Kart Double Dash:
Baby Park (Simplistic but insane to play. This was the most intense track in the game, but it didn't feel cheap about its intensity.)

I've got a question about the friends list in this game, I read on IGN that you could only play with 4 players, no 2 or 3 player matches. What about when you only have 1 friend online on your list, do both of you enter a 2 player game or does it throw in two other random people from anywhere in the world?

Check out IGN's pros and cons article. Some of those cons are pretty stupid stuff that is just outright sh!tty game design. I'm a programmer and if I suggested something like random player assignment for multiplayer matches my boss would chew me out for suggesting something so horrible. Of course that doesn't affect how the game plays, it's just some annoying limitations regarding online play. This still sounds like an absolute must-buy. Let's just hope they address some of the online issues for Mario Kart Rev.
Post by: IceCold on November 10, 2005, 07:04:02 PM
IGN used MKDS as a sacrificial lamb to prove that they wouldn't rate online games by GameSpy higher, and there isn't a conflict of interest
But this is from Craig's mailbag - Get Mario Kart DS because it's the best freakin' kart racer ever, with an incredible focus on single player and local multiplayer. Don't get it solely for its online component because you'll end up wanting way more than what's offered here.
And that's just how it should be; a game should not be penalized for its online mode when the gameplay is terrific. So I seriously doubt that it will be a 7.9...

It's a portable game. People are holding console and PC standards to a system with very basic hardware. It's the first online title ever for the company, first for the system, first major portable title online, etc. Some of the cons are a little lame, but they're not going to change the fact that you can play it online. Of COURSE they'll "fix" these things for MK Rev. It's a console!
If you're going to be all doomsday, at least be realistic.

*gasp* I thought that was a local problem, as rarely have games ever actually arrived on their ship date here (Advance Wars DS, for example, came 2 days after the set date)... three Target employees nearly lost their lives when SSB:M first came out on account of the delay.

Bad news: I reserved MK at an EBgames by where I work. I went to go pick it up today and they told me their shipment from UPS was delayed somewhere in the country because of the weather. So that really sucks, but......
Good news: I was talking with the EBgames clerk and he told me that it really sucks that they couldn't get their shipment in today because they had over 100 PREORDERS, just at that one store! I thought that was pretty impressive indeed.

By the way 150cc is DAMN FAST! It's pretty challenging too, I breezed through Double Dash, but this is posing quite a challenge, and getting 3 stars for everything is going to be almost impossible. Battle Mode is also amazing with 8 players, and i've only played with bots! I haven't even tried the new Battle Mode yet, and i've just scratched the surface of the missions!
I love this game so much! I've been playing it so much that i've had to charge my DS 3 times in 2 days! Can't wait to play with my Dongle next week.

Nope...

Im not sure wether the star on the key board has been there the entire time and its just generic or if thats what I earned for getting at least one star in everything.
It has been there the entire time, the star in question is yellowish and appears above the username in actual matches.

Is it right to assume that achieving at least 2 stars in everythign will nab you a second star?

I'm not sure how it's done, but I have seen people online with 2 stars above their name so that seems like a likely conclusion.

Yep, I have 3 stars.

Another question, why is that I've been able to play with just one other player online (in regional/worldwide/same-skill options) but not with just one friend when the friend-icon is flashing?

You can play a 1-on-1 friend game, you just have to wait awhile so the timmer (assuming both you and the friend are attempting to join a "friend game") will run out as it waits for others to connect.

The only functional purpose that I can tell so far is that when locked, you can't accidentially delete them from your roster when you are cleaning house, so to speak. I've heard rumours that locked friends connect faster to wifi games than unlocked, but I think it's a load of crap.

Especially online, all I ever get item wise are mushrooms, despite being in 2nd (Last)
Dueling totally sucks online, and the car balance is equally terrible. For the love of god why wont Nintendo fix something like this?

Says that theres no real problems gameplay wise on your side, you'll see some weird things like other players' characters fall through the pipe in waluigi Stadium, but once they go through it, the game places their coordinates properly. Even battle levels can be played online, but the game still acts as if its in race mode, and things like falling off or firing a blue shell causes the game to freeze.

Anyway, one of the best new features in this game I think is the way you can see the route your ghost is taking in Time Trial, it makes it much easier to improve on your previous time, and i've been having lots of fun getting better times. Is anyone willing to challenge my Time Trial times?
