Mario Kart DS - Preview

[Jordan3]

Release Date - 11th November 2005

Mario Kart has gone wireless! The new version lets you race and battle with up to eight karts at once, with only one game pack needed between you!

The Nintendo all-star cast features Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Wario, Bowser and Toad driving around a selection of thirty, yes thirty tracks taken from every single Mario Kart game so far. That's right – players will tour courses from Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart: Super Circuit and Mario Kart: Double Dash along with brand new tracks and arenas.

Sound good? Well the game has an all new dimension of fun, with the new feature where players can battle others around the world by connecting to Nintendo's new wireless gaming service, Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, via Wi-Fi.

it looks like doubledash jsut with a lil more pixel errors :d i may be a fan of psp but mario kart and smash bros is the best thing nintendos got

[Jordan3]

Why does it look like Double Dash? That would be like me saying Vice City looks like San Andreas, its the same engine but with more features.

And you may say all Ninty have is Mario Kart and Smash Bros. but

A) They're great anyway
B) What have Sony got then?
and C) Thats not all they have... are you forgetting Zelda games?

[Moose]

I think thats already out... depressing.

[ssricky]

:rolleyes:

resident evil four is coming out for ps2 and its probably gunna be better cuz they added more stuff looks like nintendo lost another thing going for it :P

[Moose]

[ssricky]

lol dont u just love the noobs who think nintendo is so great i agree sum games are good but compared to the playstation its nothing :rolleyes:

[Jordan3]

Why does it make me a noob? How many games do Sony have that they own themselves. GTA is excellent, but you can get it for Xbox, they have no exclusive goodness.

Come on big shot, name a game for Sony that no other console has, that sells a lot and is good.

[ssricky]

[Moose]

Yeah and you have to pay for xbox live, which you don't for PS2.

[Jordan3]

grand turismo :rolleyes: wow that was so hard

[Moose]

Jack and Daxter (I personally don't like it but heh, others do)
Sly

[ssricky]

Ohh! The first Marvel vs capcom games!

[Magnet]

Sto pargueing. This was a thread to talk about Super Mario Kart DS. Not to argue over which company is better. If you don't have anything good to post, don't post in this thread atall.

And I'm definetely getting this game, looks ace!


Tomb raider (???)

Not true, it is also out for Xbox.

[Moose]

Who doesn't like Takamari Damashi?

[Jordan3]

As X-Ray said, back on topic.

[Magnet]

What a loser, we are trying to... "Not waste forum Space" we are being conservative, telling us we broke the rules is agaisnt the rules.

[Jordan3]

Just stop it and argue in the Nintendo Vs Sony thread ^_^

[Moose]

Uhh No! ~_~.

[brunojrthechao]

Im usualy the ones arguing with the "DS ownz everything" people but you will never be disapointed from a mario kart game and may keep my DS just to get it.

[Charles]

Mario Kart will be fun.
Oh and from earlierm Sony have tried to capture the type of greatness that Zelda games have by releasing 'Shadow Of The Collosus' (Can't spell that).
Its like Zelda but you battle 16 huge monsters...deja vu?

[Bear-Max]

I'm looking forward to Mario Kart, along with Animal Crossing and Advanced Wars :D

The last Mario Kart game I had was on the N64, which was awsome :)

All this arguing is once again pointless. All 3 of the home consoles have a long list of great exclusive franchises...

PS2: Katamari Damacy, Devil May Cry, God of War, Eye Toy, Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank.

Xbox: Jade Empire, Blinx, Conker, TopSpin, Project Gotham.

Gamecube: Paper Mario, Mario Sunshine, all other Mario games xD, Zelda, F-Zero GX, Tales of Symphonia, Baiten Kaitos, Animal Crossing.

Plus, just to show that the power of a console doesn't mean it's the most successful: the PS2 is actually the lease powerful console of the lot. Resident Evil 4's graphics are being reduced in quality so that they are able to run on the system.

[ssricky]

in my honest opinon the graphics look like the same for mario kart for gba i swear to god i just noticed im playing it right now for emulator the only thing thats diff i think wud be courses players and items it shud be good for emulator :P

Darn right, and Nintendogs too.

Advance Wars 2 is so addictive, I still play it on my DS every night.
