Anybody that doesn't credit DD!! as the best entry in the series needs to take a good long look at themselves. I'm guessing your favorite was 64? |
I got your back, NP! Double Dash is an amazing, addictive game. One of my personal favorites :)
@OP: I agree with the spirit of the article, although the final section on battle mode could have been edited out. It's just not a very fun mode, and it being different doesn't change or mitigate that fact. Still, I concur that frequent retooling is good for an evergreen franchise like Mario Kart. It's especially true for 8, which feels rebuilt from the ground up. It might share some similarities with Wii and 7, but it plays like something brand new.
I think that's part of Nintendo's magic. It might not create a lot of new IPs, but it does create brand new experiences within existing IPs. Mario Kart 8 is a perfect example of that.
