I like snaking, just make it harder to perform, like it was in MK 64.
Also, go nuts with the levels, Diddy Kong Racing was awesome in that department.

They shouldn't keep 2 racers... It makes items too important, because it makes them twice as common as they really are. However, I did like the kart variety, including the cars, like Wario's and Bowser's.
I'm not sure about a "Nintendo Kart", some franchises just wouldn't fit and it could even hurt their image.

The mini-skid isn't necessarily a bad idea, because it does open the game up to more 'tiers' of players. You have players who don't skid at all, player's who skid, players who mini-skid, and player's who snake. So there's more immediately obvious depth than the earlier games.
The mini-skid and snaking was made easier with the d-pad IMO, but both MK64 and MKDD had snaking of some sort as well, though. It was also more noticed because of the competition online.
I can snake fairly well in MKDS, but not well enough to get near some of the crazier lap times online. In that sense, i preferred how in MK64 i could keep pace with the best times by mastering the subtlety of mini-skids more easily than mastering 100% course snaking in MKDS.
MK64 (despite the haters) had subtlety in it's mini-skidding (timing the left/right pushes to keep the best line, and straightening up your character on an exit, among others).
But, SMK had some incredibly subtle depth masked in pure simplicity, and simplicity is best. MKDD was totally disapointing to me because they just added too much to the formula.
I doubt we'll ever see the series go completely to it's roots again, but i do think perhaps the mini-skid system has become overused now - they need something new, hopefully the wiimote can create some different control method.

Since Nintendo confirmed they are using friend codes with Wii still I think they will at least make it so you can send them to eachother and it enters automatically on the Wii it self instead of the bull shit of going through forums and writing 16 numbers down...
Thats all I really want.
But I wouldn't mind a minor Double Dash mode with Co-Op online play. That was fun.
Oh yea, bring Decals online for sharing with others. And an online top rated Decal list on the game itself actually instead of the site
Or just forget Mario Kart alltogether and pick up Diddy Kong Racing for the Gamecube and make that a real game with all the Nintendo characters. (cmon Rare, you know you want to make it)

Why would Rare make it? I don't think they'll ever release a new game for Nintendo's home console, unless something strange happens with M$ and Rare. Also Nintendo could make a new DKR easily, and it would even have better controls this time (one of the bad things about DKR).

Oh, you meant Donkey Kong Racing, not Diddy Kong Racing. Not that it makes any difference though, as DKR was supposed to be a sequel to DKR
But as I said, I don't see Rare making games for Nintendo's home consoles, as M$ still has a competitor there, unlike on handhelds. Also there's a Donkey Kong racing coming for GameCube, although not in the way some people hoped for. If there's going to be a new DKR game on a home console, it'll be for Wii.
Yea, i see what you mean, but boy does that game(the bongo racing) look like crap.(if released higher then $20.) I think they should just cancel it and have that team move on to Wii or somethingSuomiDude said:Oh, you meant Donkey Kong Racing, not Diddy Kong Racing.

There should be an adventure mode, like in Diddy Kong Racing.

what are the chances of the wii version being based on the recent namco arcade mario kart?
Mr.Ressetti

Customizable Kart.

I think it should use and update slightly the graphics engine from Mario Kart Arcade. No Namco characters like Arcade. Online play for up to 8 people (Grand Prix INCLUDED along with VS. and Battle), with emblem design like in the DS version. Motion and standard controls as options.

And has to have atleast one glitch in it.
Must be a real racer, as clearly, all Mario Karts are not real racing games. This means it must support tilt control + traditional controls, so that people who aren't into the franchise can imagine what it will play like on other consoles.
All kidding aside, I want a more robust on-line system. More stats, lobby chats, and easier to set up races. I don't care too much about the mechanics, the design team will take care of it.

How about a monthly Tournament?
And a huge one every three month where the Winner gets 10 free downloadable retro games or something like that

Custom Karts like changing wheels or so .
DK Wheel = Acceleration 45 weight 88
or something like that.

True.

Every character should just have one kart and their regular stats, none of this unlock a different kart crap.
Keep characters balanced, their own strengths and weaknesses.
Coins, more coins you have the more top speed will go up. You get hit you lose coins. You lose all coins you get hit you spin out.
NO SNAKEING
Alot more courses with obstacles, bring back the train!! but make it longer so if people get caught at the rail crossing they have to try harder to catch up.

Two racing modes:
Classic Racing Mode -- Single Player - Single Kart
Double Dash Mode -- Two Player - 2 Racers in One Kart
Here's where I'd mix it up ... more emphasis on co-op ... 2 player play with *one* nunchaku controller.
Player's sit side by side, one person uses the analog nunchaku to steer/control the kart, the other player uses the Wiimote to aim/fire objects.
I'd also add other things for the 2nd player to do to make it more interesting ... ie: player 1 steers the kart right next to an opponent, player 2 "swipes" the Wiimote in the air, the characters on-screen punches the opponent or jams their wheels.
Tons of Battle Mode levels, online Battle Mode, lots of classic levels as well, special Double Dash Battle modes as well to emphasize play with 2 characters in one kart.
Track-creator mode that lets you create your own tracks/battle arenas and distribute them online.
24/7 Wii-mode that allows Nintendo to send you new tracks or characters over time.

Oh, oh, oh -- this is not just for Mario Kart, but for F-Zero: give people the option to broadcast their ghosts/replays online.

Yeah that would be cool also.
I think they should do two Mario Kart's for the Wii
Mario Kart All-Stars
Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Mario Kart: Double Dash, and Mario Kart DS ... remade on the Wii with one centralized graphics engine.
All games have online play.
Perhaps they could offer this through Nintendo WiFi.
In addition to Mario Kart Wii.
