    Why am I not excited :(

    Is that the score in the bottom left of the first image?

    I'm sure the joy will be in the gameplay, not the 'graphics'.

    good point, it certainly looks like it's not in the graphics.

    I am loving the train track level

    Does it remind anyone of their 1980's arcade childhood past?

    Thats right - SEGA's Power Drift!

    Surprised nobody has really copied the massively unsubtle tilting camera angles for arcade racers when going round corners to give a more dramatic effect...

  • Brianstorm #5 4 years ago

    hopefully it willl have a perks and level up system like COD 4.... :-)

    I'm hating the new OTT cars -what was wrong with just simple karts?

  • asphaltcowboy #7 4 years ago

    Looks alright to me!

  • Floppy #8 4 years ago

    I too wish they'd return to the simple Kart styling in the vehicles, what with it being Mario 'Kart'. Then again this is hardly a game based on a realistic world :)

    All this said, the silly cars shown in the shots are reminiscent to the ones in MK DS anyway, so no biggie.

    I must say, I was profoundly unfussed about this game until I read the IGN preview today (http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/852/85295... ), which makes it sound a lot more interesting. The full support for Wheel, Nunchuk, Classic and GCN pad control, eleven opponents as standard, 100cc class motorcycle-exclusive and 32 tracks raised my interest quite a bit, but it's the online stuff that really impressed me; 12-player races (with the option for two people to race online on the same console), with full leaderboards, stats, and downloadable ghosts and challenges is pretty impressive for a Nintendo online effort, and will all work pretty well on Mario Kart. Even the screenshots look better on there IMO...my advice to the doubters would be to have a look at the preview. I wouldn't say I'm totally sold, but I'm a heck of a lot more interested than I was before...

    I don't like the new cars either, I can see their trying to do a wacky racers rip off but the designs are just plain awful! The classic karts found in the original were much better. I dunno, not getting too excited about this, but this is Nintendo and it will no doubt turn out to be another classic. :)

    Andthere is M0t3r81k3s.
    Truly a next gen.

    Looks ok, but really not anything special compared to double dash. Lets hope for a fantastic gameplay. But until now, I will wait without to much anticipating.

    What's wrong with the graphics?

    I cant imagine i'll be stood still looking at them long anyhow?

    All I care about in a racer is:

    1) is it fun
    2) is it fast

    There's no use having pretty visuals if it struggles along at 30hz (*cough* pgr *cough*)

  • Pirotic #13 4 years ago

    These screenshots are 6 months old and are from quite an outdated build, god knows how they ended up in the new screenshots section.

  • FWB #14 4 years ago

    Well it's got /\/\0T0RB1K35

  • Sid-Nice #15 4 years ago

    Nintendo need new IP's; Mario this, Mario that and Mario the other, I'm bloody sick of Mario. I don't think that the graphics are too bad; but I found the pictures of Princess Peach in a pink and white leather jumpsuit portraying full camel-toe, absolutely disgusting.

    Are we looking at the same screenshot gallery here?

  • dk_rare #17 4 years ago

    I think the game looks really good, I don't know what you guys are talking about.

  • Fixxxer #18 4 years ago

  • MuppetThumper #19 4 years ago

    wow. Nintendo are really pushing the boundaries here. Mario Kart GC eat your heart out. not.

  • Landmaster #20 4 years ago

    Mario Kart is one of my favourite game series.

    Yet i couldn't give a shit when this comes out.

    Looks sub-standard and the new cars are rubbish, just like in MKDS.
    And Bikes?
    Wtf...

    I'm not excited about this at all.

    Fuckin Brawl us instead will you?
