TJ Spyke said:I will still buy the game and enjoy it offline, but snaking ruined online play in Mario Kart DS and it will ruin the online play of Mario Kart Wii too (which is why I will only play online with people who agree not snake).

.dmc said:I love MK-DS, three starred all the GPs, unlocked everything, played dozens of local wifi matches.. and never go online because of snaking AND because there is no penalty for dropping out. So when I do play the game online, it generally starts with someone snaking their way to an unassailable lead, and the other two players quitting shortly before the end of the last lap. Which leaves me with the choice of playing a 2player match against an OCD snaker who won't even see me after 10sec, or getting out as well.
If they don't fix those issues in MK-Wii, it won't stop me from buying or enjoying the game, but it will stop me from going online, ever.

TheGreatDave said:When everybody in a race is snaking it's fantastic though. It can be really intense. I just want options, give me the chance to play how I want to, and let me play with other people who don't.
I'm sure it's just my lack of sleep, but that made me laugh so hard. :lollayzie1989 said:I'm trying to imagine someone snaking with the wheel in their hands...sort of like this GIF
Absolutely. I like to call it "playing with other people who are good"Firestorm said:Yeah. Sooo awesome. Especially when it's 8 people in the same room.
(Snaking confirmed)

I understand the feeling of dislike towards that particular game mechanic, but to me "I'm not going to snake" smells the same as "I'm not going to play to the best of my ability".
For the times when I played LAN multi with both snakers and non-snakers (i.e. good people and scrubs), we just played teams and divided up the good and bad people evenly among the two teams. It was pretty fun because the shitty players actually had to play an important role of blue shell shooter since they were always at the end of the pack.
Letting 2nd place overtake you and then shouting at the last place guy on your team to fire his blue shell now was pretty interesting.

Granted, we hardly know anything about this game, but form what we do know, it sure seems rushed (i.e. graphics aren't any better than MKD), or at the very least taking the safe route.
There was also a new trailer during this event but everyone was busy playing Smash Bros.Shiggy said:

No, actually, I think snaking is for douches who looove to win. Douches like me.Ramenman said:Snaking can only be "confirmed" if you play with douches who loooove hurting their thumb all the way to the finish line.

catfish said:my problem is that you can't expect people not to snake, because it's a game mechanic..
The game is broken is all. Furthermore, the snaking method actually causes pain. Fuck that.

:lol :lol :lol That's so perfect. Mike's expression on his face is perfect too.Mac the KNife said:More like this GIF:
This better be the best fucking game ever made otherwise NoE made a huge mistake to release this earlier than Smash Bros.evilromero said:This is turning out to be the ultimate MK experience. The new levels look slick as hell. I'm loving the openness of Moo Moo Country. Reminds me of that train level from MK64.
beelzebozo said:there is no such thing as bad mario kart.
MisterHero said:Play as Mii? Why not in Smash Bros.? =(
MK looks great though. Can't wait.
Davidion said:SSBB is too specific character oriented, you'd have to find a way to make the mii characters unique in action and that can get problematic. With MK you're just shoving the character into a kart and inject stats (if even that).
Is Wario powersliding in the biggest picture?Nuclear Muffin said:
Mac the KNife said:In the case of Mii characters in SSBB, all you'd have to do is allow for complete character customization from the other characters' pool of moves. It would be cool as hell but would ultimately destroy the game, as everyone would just use their Miis.
