Mario Kart Wii: Might Not Suck

[admin_old]

Emphasis on might. The DS version was pretty awesome, but the console versions have been progressively worse since the SNES original. Yeah, I said it.According to Joysitq according to Famitsu, “The upcoming kart racer, likely Nintendo’s next big title after Smash Bros Brawl, will have a planned 32 courses for the game, comprised of 16 [...]

I'm looking forward to this. I always liked the Mario Kart titles. And this one comes with an official racing wheel.

I think all of the Mario Kart games have been awesome. Honestly the Gamecube version is my favorite.

Wow, did you start playing videogames in the year 2001?

[xmiyux]

The SNES version was by far the best.

Nope more like `82 or so :lol: I played the Gamecube version the most with friends so I have the fondest memories of that title. I'm sure there are others as well. Many people say Twisted Metal Black was the best Twisted Metal game but I think it sucks ass when compared to TM2. But I played 2 almost everyday for a couple years with a friend.

i know. I don't get the love for TM:Black. I loved TM2.

As for Mario Kart, I liked the SNES one, but Double Dash is the one I played most, so it probably qualifies as my favorite. :)

Regardless, this is probably the title that is going to be the Wii seller for us. My wife is a HUGE Mario Kart fan. Though, she gets pretty competitive. You should hear a pregnant woman call a cartoon princess a fucking cuntrag. It's quite an experience. :lol:

The SNES version was awesome and accounted for many long hours of battle mode with me and my high school friends. I have fond memories of the N64 version too since it was a favorite in my dorm during college. The 'cube version was fun as well but it never hooked me the same way that the earlier games did.

All that being said, I am cautiously optimistic about the Wii game. Word is that in addition to the wheel/Wiimote setup, you will be able to use a Gamecube controller. I'm glad to hear that they are giving you plenty of control options since it remains to be seen how well the Wiimote setup will work for this game.

I am quite partial to the N64 version as well.

[JediMatt]

Shit, forgot about the N64 one. That's the one we played the most. Then GC, then SNES.

Officially,

DS>SNES>GBA>N64>Gamecube


Thanks.

[JediMatt]

You're crazy, Marge. :P

[Slitt Vicious]

DS>SNES>GBA>N64>Gamecube
Wrong.
The depth of your ignorance is bewildering, my friend.

[Duster72]

The Gamecube version might be better than the N64 version. I don't know. I don't play games that suck that bad.

[xmiyux]

I would swap GBA with N64 but otherwise i completely agree with Duster.

[Shlugendah]

Silly rabbits. Arguing about Mario is for kids. :headshake:

I saw this this evening and it made me think of this thread.
