Power sliding was perfect in mk64 imo. I dislike the way they changed it. Also I could not stand the wii version due largely to the over powered items. The items have gotten more and more op, lessening the importance of being 'good' at driving.

Double dash is a great game, but it's second to mk64 in my book. Btw I've owned all the console mk's.

You should try MK7! Items have been balanced greatly since Wii.

I don't have a 3DS but I would like to try it.

To me the franchise has gone in a direction i'd rather it had not.  I've got no problem with the graphics and additional gameplay features they've added but I just don't how drifting has changed.  MK was always supposed to be a casual game, but the way they made chance increasingly important and skill decreasingly important is a huge turn off to me as a core gamer.

What direction is it going in exactly? Mario Kart has always had items in it. They were a bit too overpowered in the Wii version sure, but that's just one game in the series, and the new ones aren't following MKWii's item line-up. Plus overall throughout the series, good players win more often than not, yep even in MKWii, so good driving is still more important than items. Also, what's wrong with the drifting?
