So what he's trying to say is that if you like Mario Kart games you'll love this game. Sounds great to me.

So Call of Duty 8: Modern Warfare 3 would also get the same score I'm guessing. Also, Halo perhaps?

Halo's pretty different each game.

Hate to derail but is it really? I've only played the first three but what was so difference about them? Not saying Mario Kart is an outstanding example. I actually feel the MKs are pretty different in subtle ways seeing as they appear only once a gen but add little tweaks to the mechanics. So Double Dash was very different from 64, which were both very different from the GBA one. I think MK Wii was a bit more in line with the DS game but really they change up the feel and the sliding that it often does play pretty differently.

Definitely will buy, not excited about online snaking though. That killed Mario Kart DS for me. Not just because I couldn't do it (which I really couldn't), but because it made some matches absolutely zero fun.

There is no online snaking. It's not possible here.

Must...resist...3DS...purchase...for...this....game.

Soooo...the drifting mechanic is the same as MKDS I presume ?

[XxCGSxX]

Are the characters in the OP the full list? Or are there other secret characters?

[EvilMario]

It's the full list from what we know. I'm sure we'll start hearing about any additional characters soon with the Euro release.

You just made this even easier for me. <3

Care to share why this is true? :)

[FoxHimself]

Even more Rainbow Road music - this is from the more quiet part of the track where you're driving on an asteroid/moon instead of on the colorful track. It changes dynamically, but I recorded the entire song here. Slight engine humming, though.

it uses the drift system from mkw.

Epic, thank you!

Also, SNES Rainbow Road music > new Rainbow Road music.

I still saw some video of a dude trying to snake in MK7. Was nowhere as bad as MKDS thankfully.

If we were still talking xbox 1 Halos, sure. The last few Halos have been as bad as the Call of Dutys on similarity.

I thought Reach was a departure from Halo 3. I was kind of surprised at how different it felt.

oh. oh my god. it has Mario Kart 64 intertwined into it. My nostalgia sensors are on overload

[ViewtifulJC]

Halo is pretty damn different with each installment, within the standards of being in the same universe and having plenty of fan-favorite weapons, vehicles, and maps with each sequel. There are various advancments and differences across the board, while still feeling like they belong in the same series.

Sometimes I think people expect every sequel to be Resident Evil 4.

[Younicorn]

I'm just going to edit this real quick.

[depward]

NICE, thanks very much!!

[Fantastical]

I just saw a Mario Kart 7 commercial that was exactly the same as the Starfox 64 3D commercial with the guys playing multiplayer. Not good.

[UncleSporky]

So according to FoxHimself, every community has just one specific race type and rule set?

So there will be like 10 GAF communities, for each rule set and battle modes?

Or can a community be edited in real time so if 15 people are on and somebody wants to start a different race type, they can just propose it?

I'm assuming you could just make 1 community with no restrictions...which would let anyone play whatever race type they want

From his post:

This is how you set up a community room: You can set a logo (pre made ones only), enter a name and description, choose between racing (50, 100, 150CC or Mirror) or the two battle modes and which items are available when racing (All, Shells, Bananas, Mushrooms, Bob-Ombs, None). No individual toggling for each item. You can't toggle blue shells off. If you don't want to play with blue shells, you have to choose Bananas, Mushrooms, Bob-Ombs or nothing at all.

It sure sounds like the rules are set at room creation. Changing nothing would probably result in default races with all items on.

Is she called Queen Bee or Honey Queen in this game?

This is important.

I will buy the shit out of this game. The SHIT out of it!!

[kunonabi]

LOOK WHAT I GOT TODAY: It's amazing.

I really like that boxart. Not sure why though.

[watershed]

Sorry for the double post but I'm on my phone. Why they go out of their way to assign someone who openly loves the series to review it? There's obviously other people who are disappointed that it's "just another Mario Kart." Why shouldn't someone with that mindset be allowed to review the game? What use are reviews if you have to already like the game in order to be able to review it?

I think there's a difference between someone who loves a series, someone who has an open mind to it, and someone who dislikes or hates the series or the gameplay offered. I read the review and he seems tired of the series before he even played MK7. Going into a review with that bias pretty much means everything about the game is going to be bad except things that are radically different from past entries.

[CrazedProfessional]

Koopa Clown Car will be the first thing I unlock.

I'm ready. Shit, I haven't bought a 3DS game since Ocarina!

Forgot to ask if there's Emblem editing ala Mario Kart DS.

Man, I forgot about that feature. That was really cool.

Anyway, now seems like a good time to buy a 3DS. I think I starting getting hooked on the DS around the release of that platform's Mario Kart.

Awesome art in the OP too. I especially like Bowser's expression.

[Chet Rippo]

I don't think so, most of the karts don't look like they have a place for an emblem.

Game looks rad. I'm in. Sunday, right?

It would also display it next to your name online. So there's still that option. The Wii version replaced those with Miis.

Since the 3DS also has Miis, I can only assume they'll do the same as they did in Mario Kart Wii.

[Berordn]

It's been explained but Rosalina is classified as a heavy character in Mario Kart because of her height (same with Waluigi though no one seems to be cracking wise at his expense).

[EvilMario]

Rosalina's class size in Mario Kart Wii is 'large'.

[StickSoldier]

So guys, we gonna have an 8 player tourney on Sunday or what?

[Codeblue]

That's too bad. A friend of mine had a crazy good rendition of the "Here's Johnny" face designed to annoy anyone he passes.
