This controller will prove to be totally fucking awesome, and there's an end of it.

Oh great!, another Mario kart!. Is like the Advance one or like Double Dash?.

Much like the Advance one; same characters, different-looking karts.

Only the SNES and GC versions of Mario Kart are worth playing, in my opinion.

What, you didnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t like Mario kart 64?, that was the only one I liked.

Visually the DS title is most comparable to the N64 one anyway, though now with 3d models instead of sprites for the racers and of course, a lack of any anti aliasing or texture filtering.

The game has a lot of potential in my opinion, there's a lot of work going into it, not just with the online play. There's some interesting new Singleplayer and multiplayer modes, new items, multiple karts per character and so on, I'm definitely picking it up on (European) release.

About the Revolution controller, well, I think it has a lot potential, I'm just not entirely sure yet if they can actually pull it off.

No, I liked it. I just felt there was no sensation of speed. Also, the CPU was a cheap bastard who would ride up on your ass if you got in front of him for mre than a second. That was annoying.

Mario Kart 64 was all about the multiplayer!

They are karts, not Sonic, Karts arent very fast...

We're talking about a series where a plumber saves a kingdom of mushrooms from a giant dragon turtle thing. Realism is NOT a valid argument for not feeling like you're moving at a decent clip.

OK, what about Mario never being really fast? Wait, he has to run a whole stage in less that 3 minutesÃ¢â‚¬Â¦he is fast for being a fat plunder.

Mario kart 64 started the whole 3D karts mania, and is one of the best games for the Nintendo 64. If you donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t like it, fine!.

When karts are going 50 km an hour, I want it to feel like more than Mario running at double speed. That's what my problem with Mario Kart 64 was.

Then, forget about Mario and play the good fast Sonic games.

I think I will!

*fires up Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast*

C'mon, Sonic Adventure isn't that fast. It rocks, sure, but there are crappier games (Sonic Advance 2) that are much faster. Seriously, play Adventure 2; I don't think I'll ever find a zone as cool as Final Rush. In 3-D, at least

I forgot to say:

Ã¢â‚¬Â¢PokÃƒÂ©mon online would be God
Ã¢â‚¬Â¢Nintendo has the newfound capacity to own the Hentai game market
Ã¢â‚¬Â¢Zelda just got even better than before

There's an edit button, you know.

jenkins · Post by **jenkins** » Fri Dec 02, 2005 4:39 pm

Of course I know.

I didn't know that the second post would be glued right on to the first, however.

And I didn't actually edit the first because I had put it up more than 24 hours prior.

Just the sort of person I am.

Tis just another Eye toy.

Nintendo sure is desperate...to impress.

Light Speed · Post by **Light Speed** » Fri Dec 09, 2005 4:43 pm

How the hell can you compare that controller to an Eye toy? Eye toy was just a fun gimmick that involved popping bubbles and shit with your hands. This thing is more like a mouse that you don't have to roll on a flat surface... I think.

Tsuyoshi-kun · Post by **Tsuyoshi-kun** » Fri Dec 09, 2005 5:48 pm

It is gimmicky-looking, however. Though even Sony and Microsoft can be accused of that with their new systems.

And they were successful! With me, at least. I can't wait^^

I think it looks stupid
but then again, I thought the same thing about the DS, and it turned out to be pretty awesome

SegaSonic · Post by **SegaSonic** » Sun Jan 01, 2006 12:48 am

Well you have a point there...
I guess Ill have to see it to belive it this time! :)

Nova · Post by **Nova** » Sun Jan 01, 2006 4:00 pm

You have any idea of how many controllers they make until they have the final one? IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m sure someone will punch those dudes and make them do a better one.

Anyone who wants to punch a Nintendo exec is going to have to go through <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reggie_FIl ... >Reggie</a> first.
