Boffa Jones Veteran Posted October 23, 2003 Veteran Share Posted October 23, 2003 Witht he two characters you can now hold two items and if you get close enough to other karts your backseat guy will steal the other persons item. i would rather they added things rather than just updated the graphics though.

threetonesun Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 game doesnt look that good anyway, why does nintendo always have to make some sort of stupid scheme on there most popular games...mario with a god damn water gun, now double dash, there is no need for 2 people on 1 damn cart!!! when are they going to learn, we dont want this **** in a game. yeah yeah, im sure its going to add so much great new gameplay and fun to the game...blah blah it wont..the reason most people will buying mario kart is because they liked the older ones...lets just see a new revamped engine with awesome graphics, new maps, weapons, characters, etc...they need to stop adding stupid stuff to the gameplay...but hell, ill give it a try :p Tony Hawk fan, are we? Seriously, the reason I stopped playing Playstation games is because they're the same rehashed crap over and over and over again. Look, it's Resident Vice Devil Fighter Evolution 6! Sweet! I'd much prefer Nintendo at least change something rather than just put out an extended version of the N64 game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Sheldon Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 The N64 version of mario-kart was absolute pants compared the original snes. I am umming and arring about a GC for xmas off my bro, but I don't think the new mario kart will have as much replayable value as the snes version. Snes version = Classic!

Joel Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Anyways, this game does look very cool and I thought it came out the 17th. :unsure: Mario Kart: Double Dash North America - 11.17.03 Japan - 11.07.03 Maybe it is the 17th, at least I hope it is. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is really starting to annoy me when people say that playstation always remake games and there all the same etc etc, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!! :angry: Maybe your missing something here, MARIO KART ADVANCE: SUPER CIRCUIT, SUPER MARIO ADVANCE 4: SUPER MARIO BROS. 3, MARIO KART: DOUBLE DASH, SUPER MARIO WORLD: MARIO ADVANCE 2, SUPER MARIO SUNSHINE, the list goes on and on of mario crap. Notice a pattern with nintendo games? hmmmm :shifty: And you have the cheek to talk about PS "rehashing" games? HA at least PS change there story lines in their games!!

Boffa Jones Veteran Posted November 12, 2003 Veteran Share Posted November 12, 2003 Saw the review on IGN, that really sucks (7.9). I wish they would just DO **** RIGHT. Oh well there is always the chance that IGN is wrong, but i find that they are usually more or less on the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boffa Jones Veteran Posted November 12, 2003 Veteran Share Posted November 12, 2003 It is jsut so frustrating that theyw oudl take out features and try to dumb it down, i mean i love nintendo, i had 64 from beginning to end and i got my gamecube long before anyother system, still havn't bought ps2... But if they don't get their act together im going to end up getting Microsofts system first next generation, and wait for nintendo's to drop in price.

Danrarbc Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 Keep in mind, IGN rated MK64 8.1 so they didn't have glowing praise for it either. And many people still play that game, 4 years later. And if you read the review they basically say DD improves on 64 and that the battle mode takes a step towards the SNES version's feel (a bad thing for some, smaller simpler arenas, but some people like that better than MK64's).

kryptonik Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 Yeah, I can't really judge a game by what others say until I played it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redestium Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 I think that there are better choices out there this holiday season, but DD will fit the bill for many people (the multi-player crowd for sure). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boffa Jones Veteran Posted November 13, 2003 Veteran Share Posted November 13, 2003 Yeah it should be good, but how good, I hope that the way they took out the jumping isn't as big as it sounds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khaos34 Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 Many peopel are complaining because many other online gaming sites and magazines (EGM, GamePro, etc.) gave the game excellent ratings, and IGN seems to be the only one who gave Mario Kart less than a 9. Hmmm... I guess it's up to the player to decide eh? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
