In your subjective opinion sure, but objectively not a chance!

And there is no Mario Kart Wii, only Funky Bike Wii! Go play online and see for yourself!

OJjectively. MK64 and MKWii are miles above MK7. MK7 is a lazy rushed Mk for begginers.


I'm pretty sure I've already explained how only the opposite is true to ya in the past, so there's no need for me to do so again. Either accept the facts and move on, or live in denial, all up to you!

Nothing on your arguments were facts. Just your impressions.

Those MK sell enough and are reminded with glad comments, unlike the rushed MK7 which nobody outside you liked.

Mario Kart 64 still dances above MK7.

And MKWii laughs at MK7.

It's so weird seeing one of your opinions fall in line with the vast majority.

Mario Kart 64 is very overrated.

Twice as many tracks is not a fact? More depth to it's gameplay not a fact? Online play not a fact? Nobody liking the game except for me is a fact? Sorry mate, but those are some massive delusions there!

Its looking good then. If there is one game that I can see myself playing, its MK8. MK on the Wii was seriously fun.

"Even 2011's effervescent 3DS outing, Mario Kart 7, feels somewhat lifeless by comparison," the 9/10 review reads. "The new HD visuals are gorgeous, but Nintendo has also built on 7's neatly interlaced mechanics and introduced a nuanced handling model to create the greatest Mario Kart yet."

 

well, sounds almost perfect to me

MKWii has also the same number of tracks, and Online. So no. And I don't see the depht in gameplay when tracks are cut in 3 parts (I'm looking at you terrible rainbow road) and there aren't real shortcuts. Tracks are also boring and plain and looks like MK8 is unfortunately going in the same way.

Why is it overrated? It is in fact the best MK ever.

Could make a good thread about how you name the MK items. :D

Good review from Edge, they're usually very strict!


Meh dutch names doesn't work..

Works better than English if you're bantering with friends! We never use the official names, we just made up names along the way.

Indeeds! Character roster and the battle mode are really the only things to knock this game for!

Cloudtop Cruise, Electrodrome, Dolphin Shoals, Mount Wario and Water Park blow all the N64 and Wii tracks out of the water. In fact, considering the technology of the Wii, it had some of the lamest tracks. I almost always played the retro tracks like GBA Bowser Castle, N64 DK Jungleway, DS Delphino Square, DK Mountain, etc

I don't think I like even a single new track on the Wii. And overall I loved Mario Kart Wii by the way, played many hours on it and have earned 3 stars on every track. 

And the retro tracks of Mario Kart 8 are also very cool and some of them had great updates to them like DS Wario Stadium, GCN Sherbet Land, N64 Rainbow Road, N64's Toad Turnpike (would be boring and plain if it wasn't for the changes) and DS Tick Tock Clock. I also like 3DS Piranha Plant Slide (never played Mario Kart 7, but the the track looks great).
