new Mario Kart DS pics

Yeah, wooh! Let's all focus on the guy who made his points badly with insults thrown in! It's easier to feel we're right that way! Wooh!

As for the shots showing hills, even with all the old screens the vast majority of them look like its flat. There's only one, maybe 2 shots which show off that it's not, so I wouldn't worry about it, I'm sure hills are still in the game.

No; I just really disliked how fucking long the track was. MKDD did that much right; 2 laps on hella long courses.

It's beyond obvious that the player rankings are displayed on the bottom screen along side the weapons they have so that you can select target opponents using the touch screen when you have ghosts or blue turtle shells. That is using the second screen to a limited extent. If they had changed the game anymore you would all have been crying, "Mariokart with 2 characters on a car?? WTF Nintendo???!!"

Damn, I didn't even notice that. I didn't pay that much attention to the second screen. :lol But yeah, princess peach has Mario selected on the bottom screen! I don't understand why though because the power up she has is just the mushroom...
 
Yay on Koopa Beach (The SNES one rules all), Nay on Wario Stadium.

I just played Koopa Beach again on my GBA the other day. I was on 150cc mode, timed my start correctly, and never saw another player for the rest of the race, except when I started to lap the slow ones. Awesome. :)

How transparent are you? You went from sort of praising the game to dissing it again by page 2? I do agree though. Rehash for the Xth time. :( I swear we'll still be playing the standard Nintendo games til 2020.. I mean I have this great fear that we will be playing SMS in 2020 too

Not necessarily. Given the position of the characters on the map, it could just be the animation for Mario overtaking Wario. In other words, whenever someone overtakes someone else, on the bottom screen the character symbol jumps above the other one, knocking it down, and Mario's would be halfway through doing that in this case.

It could be the thing you're saying too, but I wouldn't get my hopes up just yet.

Hmmmm, after examing the picture again. I looks like this is a Battle stage? Because if you look at the rankings and the characters.... Luigi should be in first place but he's not. Also Bowser is ranked as number 1 but yet he actually should be number 7th place.... They're probably ranked by points or whatever...
 
pfft its so onbvious the n64 version looks much better. it actually has GASP textures. some ppl are such n fanboys that they will state the DS is more powerful then it appears. give it a rest. mario 64 looks much better on n64 than the DS as well. this is how it will always be.

Hahaha, they both have textures. What the DS lacks is texture filtering, not textures. The higher poly counts and framerates of the DS would suggest that the DS is indeed more powerful than the n64.

What does the PSP have to do with the DS having 1997-era hardware?

It has everything to do with why that's a problem. Why does the DS having 1997-era hardware seem to be an issue? Because the PSP exists.
 
radiohead....
as if you know me. lol. whatever. ya im the bad guy because im not blinded by a new handheld coming out. should i jump in and be a fanboy? omg look at all the original content! mario kart! mario 64! oooo puppies! wait 2 of these 3 games we all played before.... yes this is why i dont care for handhelds. because companies like nintento just want to reuse old franchises. and not just that but they give us the same games that we already played but with maybe a few new levels.

and the way i have acted on opa-ages is not how i have behaved here in case you and other opa age wierdoes haven't noticed. this is a great forum and the opa age clowns should take a lesson.

this forum isnt about the constant hate... swearing... fighting.... and elitist nonsense spewed from degenerates at the other forum who have such fantasies as cooking babies in the oven and eating them for dinner. yes this is what the opa ages forum is like so of course i would treat those low lifes with the treatment they deserve.

this forum on the other hand is actually pleasant =). I am enjoying my stay here and people are actually friendly. it is a good community here and we actually have very interesting and intelligent posters here. So you opa nuts can get away from me. sound cool? thanks

and i am not some n hater just because i dont care for the ds. gamecube has some really good games. ds though? sorry i am not going to play old games on a new handheld... thanks but no thanks
 
Anymore it seems like Nintendo just rushes there games to get something out the door. In a way they've become the anti-nintendo in the past couple of years. DS software looks so underwhelming. This new Mario Kart looks like a leap back compared to MK Double Dash. I don't want to spent money on a downgraded game that basically plays the same except with a stylus.
