Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Mario kart wii gameplay blowout!

Looks so great. Cannot wait.



Around the Network

Looks very cool.



I thought screenshots looked pretty bad too, but as expected, it looks better in motion. Still a lot closer to Mario Party than Smash Bros. in graphics, though.

But c'mon... Simple trick system? Righteous. 32 courses? Badass. 6 on 6 battle mode??? STFU. Game looks awesome.

I thought GC was only 4-player max.  Edit:  Ah, I see that with 2 gamecubes linked you could play 8-player, which was hard to do considering the few people that had Gamecubes.  That hardly counts, heh.

Motorcycles don't add anything for me. Why not just do different karts? Can anyone tell me they think Bowser looks good on a motorcycle? *sigh*

Online = awesome.

What are the control options? They took away the 2-character karts that double dash had. I loved that gameplay element that allowed you to switch between the 2 characters.

More karts than DD? Hum...ok...but are they different?

I hope they got rid of the blue turtle shell...or at least let you turn it off.

 

Online alone (with stats, unlike Brawl, which will keep people playing longer) sells this game. 12-player Battle mode, including team modes, is icing. That's really all they had to tell me.

I also believe this version has 32 tracks instead of 16 that the previous games had (although 16 are "classic" tracks, which is fine with me). I've been waiting for a greatest hits Mario Party game that combined the best mini-games (skill games only), but at least Mario Kart is adding in classic tracks.



Yeah online battle mode is gonna be friggin sweet. The rest of the game barely matters.



how do you do 12? online play only? cause if so, then f§$" that. Im not online and dont care.

I'm pretty excited about this game. All my friends and family enjoy playing Mario Kart. This should be fun, now that we can hook up online and have more of us play at a time than before.
