Online mode on MKDS was not as much fun as people though it would be due to all the snaking and if that's the case this time around then this game will not be as fun as Nintendo claims it to be.
At the Nintendo E3 2007 Conference, Reggie said that a beginner kart racer will be able to keep up with a kart veteran or something like that. That maybe true if the veteran doesn't snake. Beginners aren't gonna know what snaking is and if they do then they'll know what to expect and that the game will be no fun at all. At least the online portion anyways. Heck, most people that played MKDS didn't even know what snaking was. I didn't and I played MK since the 64 days and played the SNES version a few times at my friends house.
Now if the online mode didn't have the online stats (Wins/Loses, etc.) similar to how Smash is doing it maybe snaking will be a thing of the past and we all could just play for fun. Although that takes the competitiveness out of the game, at least EVERYONE will be able to enjoy it.
All I'm saying is that snaking makes that game boring (like several people in this thread has already mentioned) and that the game won't be as fun to those who are new to the game. Hopefully the motion-sensing that'll be used in the game will ease this technique for everyone.
