Funnest party game ever.

 

[dakata24]

sure is purdy.. i have fond memories playing the original mario kart on the super nintendo with some friends. that and bomberman..

 

[Dragnov]

Is there a gamecube to gamecube link cable out there that I don't know about yet?

There must be.[/quote]

?

LAN adapter to LAN adapter.

Of course, their virtually impossible to find right now, but thats because there was no need. I'm sure Nintendo will release em when necessary.

And for people saing this looks kiddy. I agree. But can you imagine a "realistic" Mario? LMAO. *shudder* I don't give a crap how "mature" it looks, as long as the gameplay is superb.

And lastly...

OMFG!!! YESSSS!!!!!! MARIO KART!!!!!!!!

IGN has confirmed there are 16 characters and most likely secret unlockable characters.

Toad: "YAHOOOOOOOO!"

must bring him back. unnecessary to have this waluigi character. he plays no important roles in mario games.

There will definitely be some unlockable characters if this game follows recent trends. Unlocking stuff is the norm in racing/fighting games.

On a side note, I wonder if using a "heavy" character as your copilot will slow you down. Like will Mario be faster with Baby Luigi on board vs. Bowser?

If thats the final graphics, it should HAVE been better.

The character are the only thing that look good.

The carts a crappy.

The tracks are crappier.

IMHO it should have looked ALOT better. It could have looked ALOT better.

If it's the final graphics the game would come out next month. I certainly doubt it is. Toad was annoying as fvck in the 64 version - hope they leave him out

ARRRGH BECAUSE I HATE HIM THAT'S WHY! HE'S A CHEAP LIL' BIATCH MY SISTER USES TO BEAT ME ALL THE TIME!!! :|

Anyways...I think the two-per-kart idea sounds cool...think of all the combinations and their special abilities:

Princess + Toad (is that lil bitch really gone?)
Mario + Luigi
Mario + Baby Mario
Mario + Yoshi
Mario + Wario
Wario + Waluigi
Troopa + Paratroopa
Donkey + Diddy
etc. etc.

OMG 8 PLAYER LAN!!!

This is going to be f'ing awesome!

u may want to fire mkart64 up again or get your eyes examined.

i have it emulated on my pc. not much difference. seems they lowered polygon complexity to handle the number of characters moving on screen. so there are twice as many total characters as mkart64. big whup.
