Forums - Nintendo - Mario Kart: Wii to have no multiplayer in Grand Prix?

Bad decision. I thought the sequels were supposed to get better, not worse. I guess Double Dash started that trend. The N64 installment was one of the best games ever to grace that system.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

I don't get it.

Can't you just pick tracks and karts and race?

What's the big deal about GP?

I haven't played MK since SNES. So I am a little rusty.



Aw well.....Never did 2 player GP anyway... I'm getting it for the multiplayer races/battles... I mean come on, was the SSE in SSBB WITH Co-op better than the multiplayer matches???



 

Well to be more specific I am used to doing the single player mode like 50cc 100cc 150cc cups with my cousin since Mario Kart on SNES. If I can't do that then I may end up passing on the game and quite frankly a Wii for now. I am all about multiplayer/co-op so this would really suck for me.



so no multiplayer at all, only on wifi?

The SSE isn't the main focus of Smash, where as racing is the main focus of Mario Kart, but I too prefer battle mode to racing and there is no free-for-all. If Smash Brothers required teams for every game that also would have sucked.

You can do a normal race but you can't do the whole cup and have a winner at the end of the 4 races declared. You just pick a course and race.

You also can't do free-for-all in battle mode. 

 



I just don't get all the excitement here.

You can have 12 player online matches.
4 player in room matches.
combo 2 in room 10 online.

Sounds fantastic.

what's all this fear about multiplayer sucking....I just don't get it.



^ Can you answer my 2nd post please???? I'm pretty sure you can race with your friends, just not in GP right??? I saw it in one of those IGN vids...
