Buh?

I think he means "oblivious". But don't quote me on that.

 

[Chinner]

It has the boost system of Wii, so no snaking. The underwater/gliding stuff is really cool, and integrated seamlessly into the tracks. The build I played was lacking on the items, so I cant comment on balance of super items (which was MKWii's biggest flaw, in my opinion). The return of coins is neat.

In other words I dunno lol.

1. Yes but only in his green overalls.
2. I'm pr sure its made by RETRO STUDIOS who Nintendo paid to make METROID PRIME and DONKEY KONG COUNTRY RETURNS so they got them to make this one to with Square.
3. At the same time.
4. You feelin' lucky, punk>
5. Fuck no it was terrible. Pre-order-I-don't-have cancelled.

 

[BowieZ]

Why does everyone forget that the graphical fidelity in those single screens is doubled when looking at the systems in 3D... then add in the beauty of those screens in motion.

...

 

[DICKS AHOY]

Does the game still run at 60fps in 3D? Because if so then I really don't think there should be any complaints about how the game looks, especially in regards to the other games in the series.

Spoiler

is it telling I completely forgot about the 3D for this game

All reports indicate that it does.

JEEZ UR SO USELESS

thanks

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

I played it and it runs at 60 fps in 3D.

The game is just going to be amazing.

Well then yeah. As someone who's sorta-kinda-maybe-not-as-much-as-I-thought burnt out on Mario Kart, I don't see anything half-assed about this game's presentation in the slightest.

Now if only I had any intention on buying a 3DS anytime soon.

 

[Bisnic]

Surprisingly, i haven't played MKWii that much compared to the other versions. I still don't know why. Hopefully, i will play MK7 as much as MKDS.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Rosalina playable in Mario Kart 7!

 

[Emitan]

Rosalina playable in Mario Kart 7!

Wasn't she in the Wii one?

 

[WillyFive]

Yes.

 

[StreetsAhead]

Isn't that Daisey? Or am I missing the joke?

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Blonde hair. That's definitely Rosalina.

 

[Baconbitz]

Nice! Haven't seen the tail before.

Wonder how many new items will be available?

You've never had sex.

 

[waicol]

Wow that screen looks ugly, cancelling my pre order. Damn uncampalling game.

 

[watershed]

Do we know what coins are used for yet? I've heard people say they didn't do anything in any of the demo versions.

 

[udivision]

To buy accessories like goggles.

 

[StreetsAhead]

You are right.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9msDvB2VNoI

about 00:47 you can clearly see her in action.

 

[Buckethead]

The new Tanooki power up looks awesome.

Also... Rosalina!

I really want a 3DS for Super Mario 3D Land World Adventure 4 Sunshine Galaxy and this... :-\

 

[Javier]

You guys JUST noticed Rosalina?

She no longer has the Luma, though.

 

[Kuran]

That's the same kart as Mario's default one from MKDS. It's probably the same model reused (look how the other kart looks much better by comparison) so that's probably done on purpose, seeing as how it is a "retro" kart.

Nice one Nuclear Muffin, continuing to amuse!

It is most likely that opponent's carts are lower detail then the one you are driving. Very often used technique in driving games.

 

[lordfroakie]

You'll never have sex either

 

[watershed]

Has anyone mentioned Konno said there are 16 brand new courses? I think this means completely new and not old courses altered with air and water parts as he mentions them separately.

 

[Emitan]

I'm assuming 16 new and 16 old/altered.

 

[Gravijah]

isn't that normal for mario kart? they always have around 16 new courses, and 16 retro courses.

Oh I didn't know that. Nevermind then.

that shocked me because I noticed it when she shown up at e3. (I think) (or Nintendo conference)

unless they have been faking the trailers, that's not the case.

Do people really watch trailers of the game?

 

[cw_sasuke]

So you can now see which items other drivers are holdin. Nice.

that's bullshit!

not really since when you heard people laughing you inmediatly glanced and saw the blue shell

 

[Ninjagorilla]

You could do that In the DS version too. I really liked that feature, it added some strategy.

It was in Mario Kart DS too. It always prepared me for the blue shells, lol

and eventually learning to dodge them

60 fps or not, this game's graphics are incredibly underwhelming.

 

[Gravijah]

they're exactly what i want to be, and i find that they are quite nice. like a mini mario kart wii.

 

[Berordn]

Shells would also try to sideswipe you instead of just coming from behind. I wonder if the map returning means they'll do that again.

Compared to what? Aside from some aliasing they look a bit improved from the Wii version.

 

[Mista Koo]

Was this art ever posted?

For some reason it looks full of life as opposed to the typical 3D renders. Beautiful.

 

[The Main Event]

Has a list of every items been posted? Blue shells are still there right?

 

[daakusedo]

So you can die underwater ? Except maybe that cheated donkey kong.

 

[Berordn]

Without wings, assuming it's not a just a placeholder image. Every item from MKWii is in except the Pow Block, Thunder Cloud and Mega Mushroom. So far we've also seen the Super Leaf (which gives you a tail as a shield and close attack) the Fire Flower (lets you shoot fireballs in front and behind) and a "7" emblem that we haven't seen in action.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

It looks like Mario Kart, bro.

No, it looks incredibly beautiful

 

[funkmasterb]

This looks terrible. It still looks like the GCN version graphics wise. Why haven't they made any headway there? Why haven't hey even tried to shake up the art style of 'low budget 3d and blurry textures.' try a wind waker thing?

God I love Nintendo but this same old lackluster shit is getting old.

I see they've shoehorned their shitty mii's into this as well. Perfect.

 

[Gravijah]

it's mario kart. bright, colorful, 60 fps.

It looks like the GCN/Wii version because the 3DS is in that realm of rendering power.

The art style is typically Mario Kart; bright, vibrant colours and clean image quality with a silky smooth framerate.

Mii's worked just fine in Mario Kart Wii and I assume they will work just as well here.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

People saying this looks bad are just so laughably wrong. Screen grabs don't look too hot but it's just so glaringly obvious that most don't have a 3DS to watch the trailer. It looks gorgeous in motion.

 

[funkmasterb]

 

[Berordn]

Seriously? It's coming out on the 3DS, not for your gaming-rig PC. Mario Kart has an established style, simple yet bright and colorful, and it's clear and vibrant in motion. They've seriously progressed from the GC version technically, adding significantly better lighting, bump mapping and improved models.
