Mario Kart Wii lookin sweet

[_Z_Ryuken]

I said in the post that all I knew about the games was from the videos and I specifically asked someone to tell me why I was wrong, and he did on that point. I'm not trying to deride or derail the game, I like Mario Kart.

He didn't "own" me, nor do I get the impression he was trying to...

I was just joking. I was pertty impressed that you recognized the track. I didn't recognize it. I didn't even know this game was so far in development.

I keep playing all the different iterations of Mario Kart in order to see if there will ever be one that someone can beat me at. OOH FIGHTEN WORDS

Definitely, I'd say 3/4 of the fun of Mario Kart comes from simple multiplayer competitiveness. Of course each iteration isn't going to be radically different, if it ain't broke why fix it? They tried something a little different with Double Dash and people bitched about it so it looks like they've gone back to the usual formula.

Which ****ing rocks. Anyone who is moaning about Mario Kart clearly hasn't played it with three friends of similar skill.

But I do hope snaking has been tweaked/fixed. Totally sucked any fun from online multiplayer with the DS when you came up against a snaker.

What is snaking?

Snaking is drifting. In MKDS you could turn left and right really fast and get a boost when snaking.

They have stated that in MK Wii snaking will give you a greater boost depending on how long you hold it. I think it'll be better.

I thought that was a feature in Mario Kart 64, which is why S shaped smoke clouds came off your tires and turned red when you got it right. Same thing?

Yeah, they've added boosts for extended time snaking
