mysterytramp Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 (edited) Check these out. Two people to each cart, I'm not sure. It looks great but I'll wait till I see it running. Edited April 26, 2003 by mysterytramp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganny McVagflaps Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 That's gonna be deadly. I'm an old school Mario Cart fan (the original had a hand in me getting such crappy Leaving Cart results) so I can't wait to play that bad boy!

The NZA Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 Old school Mario Kart was that cutesy game that begat violence, like in bowser's castle map when you rammed a friend into lava in mid-air jumps... I hadnt seen this 2-man buggy stuff before, only the short video they aired at E3 over a year ago. I didnt really need more hype to wanna get this one, but damn that helps. Personally, i liked the SNES one better than the N64 version, here's to hopin this one dethrones that for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Bob Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 Hells yes, I knew this one had t'be coming sooner or later. Two-person karts? Hmmm. A driver an' a gunner, maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the SNES one that fucked up my exams for me! That was the best game ever. Rainbow Road.....wow! I swear to God, me and my boys'd just smoke chatch, drink beers and play Mario Kart all day. The only other game we'd play was International Super Star Soccer Deluxe. I liked the N64 one too, but the original will always have the most room in my heart.

Unidentified Source Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 And yes, the original was the shit. But the N64 one was also great, just not as great. Rainbow Road and the Beach lvl were the shit too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NZA Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 Well, Gamespot gave it a 7.9, and its exacly why i dont go to them, or most anyone, for reviews: their complaints are that they feel its a perfect rendition of the SNES classic, with more characters, more levels (even a number of homage ones) and such, but that it didnt diversify enough. See, the N64 one did, in sublte ways. For instance, if i was getting housed by the computer, i got "hooked up" with better powerups...the strategy on 150cc was to stay in 2nd place till the end, cause the guy in 1st is getting fucked by people in places 5-8, which i thought was gay; no curves, if i suck, i suck, you know? I hated that. This time, as everyone's seen, its co-op, with the option to switch out from driving to weapon/item firing at the drop of a hat, which i cant imagine not bein cool. The "skidding" you always did, then jumped for a boost, in the old tracks is now updated to a on-tap doulbe dash that sounds minorly complicated in text, but it looks like its not hard at all. No complaints from anybody on these 2, what i consider to be, rather large additions. So, im not sure what these reviewers wanted: an RPG sidequest? Of course the 1-player mode gets old quick; this is, and always has been, a multi-player game. I only played the SNES one 1P so i could get better, and not suck. Again, i havent played it yet, its just that reviews like this confuse me. If you wanted somethin revolutionary in the genre done, thats cool, but there's a ton of other kart games. I, myself, wanted a game with co-op features & all the things i loved bout the SNES classic, and it sounds like i might just get that.

defgoddess Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 oooh wow i just saw this!! this is awesome!! i used to play mario kart for hours and beat my brother every time. sometimes i let him win. but he has gamecube, maybe i'll try to bribe him to put this on his list. maybe i won't even have to pay him... :-D wow this looks pretty sweet. snes version is my favorite too, i never really got used to N64 and its 3D crap... c'mon, you're only supposed to be able to go forward and backward in a game, not everywhere!... jeez. lol, oh well, i'd play this if we got it. btw ic, i AM a girl. see, this is me so there.
