| curl-6 said: Maybe among the most dedicated enthusiasts who get into all that super-advanced tech stuff, but for most of the Nintendo core fanbase, I always got the impression that the game was considered one of the weaker entries due to its emphasis on items and chaos over skill. |
I reviewed the game back when it came out for this site and it was generally plagued by the "Nintendo only makes games for the casuals!" insanity that was rampant back then. People criticized the game for basically being Mario Kart but spun it as "it's luck based! It's for casuals! Only Sony and Microsoft make actual gamer games!" That really shifted the discourse around the game to this day I think. Back then many Nintendo fans jumped on the "it's for casuals!" bandwagon. I honestly can't see how it's more casual or luck based than Double Dash to be honest, but maybe that's just me.
