Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Super Mario kart races onto VC!!

http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/article.php?id=16217

 

Looking for something to do over the bank holiday weekend? Why not download Super Mario Kartw hen it's released for Virtual Console in the UK this Friday.

Super Mario Kart was released for the SNES 17 years ago and some still regard it as the best Mario Kart game ever made. In fact, we rated it at number 13 in our Top 100 Nintendo Games Ever countdown.

There are 20 tracks to race on, some of which are so good they've been revived for Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart DS. Courses include the original Ghost Valley, Bowser Castle, Koopa Beach and the super tough Rainbow Road!

There is a split-screen mode for head to head races and a fun Battle Mode.

Super Mario Kart is available on Friday 2 April for 800 Wii Points. Will you download it? You should!

About time too! It still is THE best mario kart ever made and I used to spend hours and hours playing this and I will come this friday.

Would have loved them to update it a little to. Yeah I know that dont do that with virtual console games but I would have loved an online muliplayer option. Just imagine the battle modes with 4 people.

Don't know if I'd call it 'overrated', but I agree that it's hard to go back to the original game from today's iterations. The controls feel very floaty and weird in comparison.

Yeah, well it was amazing for its time. Back then. Now, it's been surpassed by a ton of other games. A lot of people like it for nostalgic reasons, and that's of course fine. One can say it's their personal 'favourite'. But calling it 'the best' is simply looking at the game through rose tinted glasses and ignoring the better games.

It might have been the best when it was released, but there's really no reason to play this over mario kart wii. Well except for nostalgia, that's always a good reason.

Great, now I need to get a 2nd classic controller.

Fantastic news though.
