Having played the original Mario Kart for the SNES, Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart Double Dash and Mario Kart Wii, Double Dash is, in my opinion, the worst MK game by far.

I think Double Dash is considered to be one of the best entries in the series.  That may or may not be due more or less to the very underwhelming direction Nintendo took with Mario Kart Wii, by watering-down the gameplay mechanics and getting rid of the side-to-side turbo boost.

Yeah, I'm not totally sure what these people are talking about. MK:DD has to be the best MK of all time.

GYAHAHAHAHAHAHA. BOW DOWN, MORTAL!!!

As far as I have heard, it is a pretty divided oppinion. Many loved it for the changes it had to the formula, and many hated it for it. There was also the fact that it could have had internet ut nintendo was lazy :p

That's surprising. I consider it the best...by a wide margin in fact. There is some imbalance with the characters and the battle arenas pale in comparison to Mario Kart 64, but the tracks are expertly designed, the controls are tight and responsive, and the addition of a second driver makes the gameplay insanely perfect.

I mean going from being the #1 brand in the industry to being a distant second, and meeting serious business threats were it not for the release of miracle wonders such as Pokemon RGB.

You know, the common-sense definition of failure... the one that says that Nintendo may not have been in the game much longer were it not for Pokemon.

Nintendo barely managed. With N64 being a little better than Gamecube. This would not have been even possible if the first party failed them.

Making a profit during the entire Gen...

That was just off of the GBA.

Sarcasm? We should officially introduce a sarcasm tag for this forum. Either /s or just writing sarcasm like this.

Either way, I'm pretty sure Nintendo managed to make a small profit from the GCN alone...
