New Mario Kart DS Info

Hope the decal drawing is good... NFSU2 does it okay. I did a GAF logo on one of my cars. It'd be great to take that kinda thing online. Problem with the decal drawing in NFSU2 is its hard to be precise. There should be a zoom function. And the decals could be a little bigger.

Online is gonna be amazing! Can't wait.
 
Horzay, touch screen turning. At least they arent just sticking them on ports.

Only one thing I want to know is, will there be more than the same 8 standard characters you'd see in Mario Kart? I.e. do we get Daisy, Birdo or Diddy Kong?

I would hope we would see all the characters included in Double Dash, at least. Well, not all of them... :lol
 
I'd love to see the Wario Ware characters be acknowledged outside of their own games. I want to see Mona, 9-Volt, Dribble and Jimmy T kicking arse on the circut! :D :D

They should be their own teams on Super Mario Strikers and Mario Baseball too. And why isn't Jimmy T in DDRwM?

Just don't add in Baby Mario Twins please!
 
That's another good use for the dual screens....You should be able to see your kart on the top while you sketch your decals on the bottom. You won't have to toggle. That's if they had the foresight to do it that way. If not, I'm going to smash mine with a hammer in protest.
 
Or the other screen could show stats like how many mofos you assfucked with a red shell.

I want to see Smash Brothers level stats. I want to see how many speed strips I missed\hit, how many power ups I whiffed by, how many people I screwed, how many people screwed me, who I screwed the most, who screwed me the most, who took shortcuts, which power ups were the most popular, who spun out the most, who fell of ledges or got hit by chain chomps or boulders, who had the fastest lap, how many boost starts have I gotten?, how many seconds did I hold first place, second place, etc., who is my biggest rival?, who tries to kill me the most?, etc, etc....

...and this should all be persistent. Online. I should be able to access this on a web page too. I want email alerts and pictochat alerts when someone breaks my high scores. A snailmail letter would be nice too, signed by Miyamoto.

And Miyamoto and Iwata should be unlockable characters, each with unique abilities and home tracks.

15+ new stages AND 15 or so "best of" stages? Battle mode ONLINE? Decals that you design on the karts?

SOLD!

I really hope the final one supports 8 people online. Don't quite get that, really. Imagine 8-player battle mode online. :O

Maybe they'll even get touch screen steering down. It hasn't exactly been tried much, I think Nintendo could do it.

Final wont be 8 players, this has been brought up before in interviews. It's due to bandwidth problems. There was an interview about it at E3.

Yeah, I would really like to see the Ware characters in the spinoff games someday. They're a lot better than those forgettable Mario Sunshine characters anyway. I mean, c'mon, Petey Piranah?

Ive decided that one screen needs to be the rearview mirror.


I support this comment. We want usefull and gameplay related use for the 2 screens as often as possible. (those who don't agree are those that don't know yet that it's what they want)

The E3 demo had the same 8 characters as in Mario Kart 64. No idea if this roster will be expanded upon before release.

One thing I was happy about in the demo was that there weren't any of the Double Dash powerups. That big banana was incredibly cheap.
 
The DS is too gutless to render 2 60fps 3D screens at once with any sort of graphic fidelity -- and I use the term "fidelity" loosely given that I'd be hard-pressed to even call the DS' meagre 3D performance "graphics".

Shut up. I didn't want to hear the truth this time :lol

:lol I love your shit posts! Sometimes I'll begin to read one not paying attention to who the author is and start getting a bit angry, then I see it belonged to you and I forget all about being angry!

Drinky Cow = grain of salt. From now on, you shall be known as Salty Cow. :D

Reggie too! Whenever he gets hit, his facial expression should get angry and the screen should flash "name taken". When/if he gets revenge, the screen should flash "ass kicked" and he should get a speed boost.

Make it happen, Nintendo!
 
bigNman said:
Yeah, especially if the game is 60 fps.

I am pretty sure framerate doesn't factor into lag. Online games usually send your coordinates at specified times(like every 100 ms), not frames.

Nintendo, listen to Wraith. He am smart.

I really hope they allow you to check stats and rankings in this game. That would be awesome.

If one of the features is that the game allows you to match up with a player of the same skill level, there'd have to be some kind of stat tracking, I'd think...

Or you just choose from a list: Beginner, Novice, Expert, etc.... although it wouldn't be that bad i guess.

Yeah, but then antagonistic experts would choose Beginner and smoke the noobs.
 
lets see here... 4 player online play or 8 player online play? meh.. who cares.. its mario kart and its online. nuf said!!

and when they mean 4 player online, i hope they mean 4 human players and then 4 A.I. players as well.
