Forums - Gaming - Video: Mario Kart Ported to the iPhone

kenzomatic on 21 March 2008

Mario Kart DS has been a hugely successful title for Nintendo and we're just over a month away from the release of Mario Kart Wii. If you're looking for yet another avenue for cartoon-fueled racing, look no further than the Apple iPhone.

The good news is that this driving game makes great use of the touchscreen display, offering a virtual steering wheel for you to drift around corners and out-pace your opponents. The bad news is that this is only a Mario Kart inspired
Even so, the game looks pretty sweet with its kitchy 3D graphics and multitouch controls. It just goes to show you what is possible with the iPhone SDK. Great times a-coming!

Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, your methods are sloppy, and your conclusions are highly questionable! You are a poor scientist. Especially if you think the moon landing was faked.

Yeah, if this purely casual concept on a hugely popular phone doesn't suggest Mario Kart Wii will be a huge seller, I don't know what will.

is this hmmmm... legal? With Nintendo's approval?

We all know how much Nintendo hates having their games on other consoles.



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

 Well, the graphics looks average. I would much liked it to ve horzontal instead where you tilt the phone to control it.
