Well if you look both,Wipeout came with Playstation 1.and is still  pretty huge on Playstation's and Mario Kart is H-huge on Nintendo consoles.(Tho Vgchartz dont have any sales for Wipeout expect Pure)

They both are racing games,both of them havent aged at all in 10 years,still got almost same controls and have been released on all available consoles for both company,

• Mario Kart 64 (Nintendo 64, 1997)
• Mario Kart: Super Circuit (GBA, 2001)
• Mario Kart: Double Dash!! (GameCube, 2004)

Tho there has been other Wipeouts on other consoles..(Even on N64).

What are you trying to say? *stares menacingly*

I think the controls have changed quite a bit in Mario Kart. I can't go back to Super Mario Kart anymore because it doesn't have the slide/mini-boost mechanism and I end up jumping for nothing all the time.

Nah I was about to write some personal stuff about them but then I ran out of time.

I suppose you would have a better point if Mario Kart wasn't 16 years old (rather than 10) and has changed dramatically in how it controls from its first iteration. I can't say anything to the same effect for Wipeout as I have never played it.

On the surface you would think the controls of Mario Kart having changed. But that couldn't be further from the truth. First the way you drift in Mario Kart Wii is completely different from in Mario Kart DS. Apart from drifting if you play Mario Kart Wii and then go back and play Mario Kart 64 you would find that the controls are totally different. The Mario Kart Wii controls are perfect while in N64 your Kart just goes all over the place. I found the Mario Kart 64 controls so bad that I couldn't even stay on track at all even on DK's Jungle Parkway which is by far my best track on Mario Kart Wii. Of course 10 years ago when I was playing Mario Kart 64 I did not realise how bad the controls were.
